Please retry smartctl command with unset locale to see the English error 
message:
LANG= /usr/sbin/smartctl -l error /dev/nvme0n1

If the the NVMe get error log command fails, there is possibly nothing 
we could do.

Do other tools read the error log properly, for example "nvme get-log 
..." from nvme-cli package ?

Thanks,
Christian
