This has nothing to do with glibc. You need to file bugs against badly translated packages. grep -l "`echo -e '[\xc8\x98\xc8\x99\xc8\x9a\xc8\x9b]'`" \ /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/evolution-2.10.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/GConf2.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-games.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-session-2.0.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-utils-2.0.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/gtk20.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/libgnomeui-2.0.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/metacity.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/system-config-network.mo /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/usermode.mo which is from your description correct, while grep -l "`echo -e '[\xc5\x9e\xc5\x9f\xc5\xa2\xc5\xa3]'`" \ /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo shows what you say is bad, right? If so, file a bug against packages listed in rpm -qf $( grep -l "`echo -e '[\xc5\x9e\xc5\x9f\xc5\xa2\xc5\xa3]'`" /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo )| LC_ALL=C sort -u |
Description of problem: Due to some very old (historical) incorrect implementations made by Microsoft long ago, there is a confusion between the following four characters in Romanian national set, when using UTF-8 encoding: - "S with comma below" (Unicode 0218) - incorrectly implemented as "S with cedilla below" (Unicode 015E) - "s with comma below" (Unicode 0219) - incorrectly implemented as "s with cedilla below" (Unicode 015F) - "T with comma below" (Unicode 021A) - incorrectly implemented as "T with cedilla below" (Unicode 0162) - "t with comma below" (Unicode 021B) - incorrectly implemented as "t with cedilla below" (Unicode 0163) The Romanian National Standard SR 13392:2004 explicitly removes this confusion. The problem was finally corrected in Microsoft Windows Vista. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Some programs, even if they are UTF-8-aware, use the incorrect characters ("cedilla below"). Example: Fedora/Red Hat system initialization scripts, when one sets Romanian as system-wide language. Expected results: glibc and all programs which depend on it should remove the confusion and use the "comma below" characters, all-over.
