1. Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above

I don't know, if this is api or module problem, but seems any API request use wrong text encoding

2. Describe Your Environment

Operating System and PowerShell version: Windows 7SP1x64 PSv5.1 Gitlab-CE 10.6

3. Expected Behavior

Let assume You have some localized usernames in gitlab

PS > Get-GitLabUser
name            : Козлов Максим
username        : MKozlov
id              : 2
is_admin        : True
email           : [email protected]
last_sign_in_at : 2018-04-19T09:59:21.045+03:00

4. Current Behavior

PS > Get-GitLabUser
name            : Козлов Максим 
username        : MKozlov
id              : 2
is_admin        : True

6. Context

Can't read any localized texts from gitlab (project namespace, user names, commits)

Thanks for the patch. There doesn't seem to produce any errors adding your code but please try version 2.6.1 to confirm that the issue is resolved.

[MVKozlov]

there is another place for this patch, inside the cycle

    for ($i=1; $i -lt $totalPages; $i++) {
        $newRequest = $Request.PSObject.Copy()
        $newRequest.URI = $newRequest.URI + "?&page=$($i+1)"
        $bytes = (Invoke-WebRequest @newRequest).Content.ToCharArray() | Foreach-Object{ [byte]$_ }
        $Results += [Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString($bytes) | ConvertFrom-Json
    }
