screenshot of KDE start menu
The text is included in entries.1.de.po and the file seems to be proper UTF-8. Karl, Stephan, any idea where the problem lies? I fixed it in the SVN (but only in German - I'm afraid it still might be broken for other languages ;( I guess, it just wasn't rebuild in between. But now that Adrian updated update-desktop-files again, it should fix (for German, I repeat) Kerry, Craig, could you check the rest of languages? This is critical for us. I'm not sure I understand the fix. The po files that I handed of entries.X.po all appear to be to be UTF-8 encoded. What fix is required and I'll impliment this for all the priority languages? Is it just this string or all strings ? This is what I commited to german. As you can see it's double-UTF-8 as I call the encoding :) coolo@portia#de>svn diff -r735:736 .

try to answer it nevertheless...
I can tell you that it appears to only affect exactly this one menu entry. At
least there are many other German Umlauts in different other menu entries, but
all of them look correctly.
Please look at attachment #48712 [details]. You can see the "f**r KDE" stuff with "*"
being strange characters. This should be "für KDE". As you can see on the
left, there's e.g. "Büroprogramme" which also contains an "ü" and is displayed
correctly.
So in a german SUSE system with default package selection it seems to only
affect this one string.
About what fix is required for other LANGs, I definitely can't help you, I'm
sorry...
Ok so this looks like an isolated issue in German. I was very worried it would be all extended characters and then the re-work in chineses and Japanese would take along time. We will test the other languages in RC 1 as per schedule and log it for whatever languages that we see. Craig, I assume we can close it now, right? Yeah I just verified in RC 4 and its fixed Thanks, Craig! |
