Bug 497153

Sean, could this be the dropins issue?

Alas, I can't blame p2 and dropins for this one.  If it were the dropins issue, the complaint would be about a lack of translations for some or all plugins.  It must be a bad translation. 

Thanks for the clear instructions.  I reproduced the error and got these error messages:

It's a bad MessageFormat string, a mistake in the Babel translation: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=250734

It's obviously past time I updated the langpacks, to pick up the fix.

I've updated all the langpacks in rawhide, but I don't think they'll show up until after F11 is finalised.  The update fixed the problem in my quick test.

I've packaged, for F10 and F11, the latest Babel I've got for 3.4.  (Ganymede downloads are currently unavailable, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=271845 )  

It's woefully out of date, but just new enough to have the fix for this bad 'de' translation.

Submitted via Bodhi for updates-testing, as per comment 4 and comment 5.
