Solution: change the translation so that it says something like: "Do you really want to save? (Yes = 'Y', No = 'N')" Could get hairy This is a translation problem. You can't re-translate hot keys unless the corresponding hotkeys are translated to. The hotkeys cannot always be translated depending on the language and the application. I agree with Elliot. The solution is to change the pt_BR.po file so it reads: Voc� est� usando senhas sombra (shadow) neste sistema Voc� gostaria de editar /etc/shadow agora ["Y" = Sim, "N" = Não] GNU nano (pine's pico cover) accepts both, Y and "S" (from Y in portuguese), but asks in portuguese... Patch is in CVS to fix the .po files. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031202 Description of problem: If you edit /etc/passwd/ with vipw and saves the passwd file, it immediately asks if you want to edit shadow. But if you're not using english as your language, it asks in the right language, but only expects a positive answer on the "Y" letter. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): util-linux-2.11y-29 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. type "vipw" as root, using non-english desktop 2. edit it 3. save it. Actual Results: For instance, in brazilian portuguese, it asks Voc� est� usando senhas sombra (shadow) neste sistema Voc� gostaria de editar /etc/shadow agora [s/n]s (Translation: you're using shadow password on this system would you like to edit shadow now?) And if you press "S", nothing happens. Pressing "Y" works. Expected Results: Accept (in case of brazilian portuguese) the "s" as positive answer, once it's the one on question. Additional info:
