Description Eugeni Dodonov 2011-06-02 20:25:51 CEST
The error page for identity.mandriva.org has bad encoding for ru and ua messages (apparently, double-utf-8 issue).

I guess some catalyst templates has wrong encoding or the po files are double-encoded..

I understand this is about identity.mageia.org

Pinging. because nothing happened to this report since more than 3 months ago, and it still has the status NEW or REOPENED.

Didn't it get solved yet?

Comment 4 Dan Fandrich 2013-07-22 22:16:25 CEST
When I set my browser to "ru", I don't see any Russian translations at all. When I set it to "uk" ("ua" doesn't seem to be a language code), the text that shows up looks Ukranian to me--it doesn't appear to suffer from any character set conversion problems, and pasting it into Google Translate returns a reasonable translation. I don't think this bug is a problem any more.

The lack of Russian translation showing up sounds like a different problem to me. That one looks to me like it's simply that the Russian translation was submitted 2013-04-02 but the "live" branch that the web site uses hasn't been updated in a year. And sure enough, Russian shows up fine on the test identity site. A CatDap maintainer should merge svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/identity/CatDap/branches/live from svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/identity/CatDap/trunk

Thanks for having looked into this, Dan, and sorry that no one ever replied :-[

CC'ing yurchor, who'll be able to tell us whether or not there is still a problem with an identity error string in Ukrainian or Russian.

Last time the Russian and Ukrainian Catdap po files were updated was in September last year.

Last time branch 'master' was merged into topic/production, was two months ago, just before a string in the Japanese po file was changed.

Actually, no encoding issues here on Chromium and Firefox. Do not know what is an "error page" though.

Should be closed because we have lost the reporter. :'(

BTW, "Add a attribute" in index.tt should be "Add an attribute.

I wrongly assumed he meant the error message when entering something wrong when trying to log in or to create an account.

But those messages do not appear in a new window or page (but as red strings at the top of those pages) :-/

Yes :-(
I'll close it as OLD, because we don't know what he meant and can no longer ask.

Thanks for already having fixed that

That string isn't in the pot file, so it can't break translations :-)
