That error is from the 2nd call to unicode(), not from the
concatenation itself. Use proper Unicode string literals:

u'this an example language ' + u'espa=C3=B1ol'

You'll probably also need to add the appropriate source file encoding
declaration; see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/

Cheers,
Chris
