*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82168 *** Please make #8168 a duplicate of this bug instead, or move that bug from Red Hat Linux beta to Red Hat Public Beta. I get this message from bugzilla: "You are not permitted to edit bugs in product Red Hat Linux Beta." when I try to edit that one. fyi redhat-artwork 0.60 doesn't solve the problem for me Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
Description of problem: When I set the system language to swedish (sv_SE.UTF-8) some translated messages on the login screen have broken non-ascii characters. More specifically the UTF-8 string from the translations file is treated as an ISO-8859-1 string and what should have been an å is now displayed as two bogus characters. This does not apply to all texts in the gdm screen. The translation to 'Please enter your username' gets translated correctly. 'Welcome to $HOST' and 'Language' are broken. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.4.1.0-1 (phoebe 8.0.93) How reproducible: seems to be always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set system language to Swedish 2. Log out Actual results: borken ä ö and å in some texts on the gdm login screen Expected results: properly recognized non-ascii Additional info:
