Description of problem: This is bug 113995, which was fixed in FC1updates and Fc2devel, but for RHEL3: basically because the spec file overwrites ja.po with an older tweaked version various translations are missing for ja (like "Password: ", "Shutdown", etc). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.1.6-2 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: see bug 113995. Notes: I recommend using the FC1updates srpm as the basis for this.
I've tested gdm-2.4.1.6-4 and it looks good. Thanks.
Actually it seems I was confused: for Taroon the overwriting of the ja.po doesn't actually lose any translations or at least not any really significant ones afaict - it was the missing "Shut_down" that made me think there was a problem, but it turned out it is missing upstream too. However I noticed that the translation of "Username:" changed to something slightly worse: so I'm sorry, but perhaps it is better to undo the change. I'll attach a patch for that below which should fix these problems.

Jens: I should remove the perl hack now too, right? i.e. these lines aren't relevant because gdm-ja.po has the correct translation? # fix the time format for ja perl -pi -e 's|^msgstr "%a %b %d, %H:%M"|msgstr "%m/%d \(%a\) %H:%M"|;' po/ja.po perl -pi -e 's|^msgstr "%a %b %d, %I:%M %p"|msgstr "%m/%d \(%a\) %p %I:%M"|' po/ja.po
Yes, you're right: they won't do any harm, but might as well be removed I suppose. Thanks. :-)
Okay, building this now. I'll close this when the pkg has been moved to dist-3.0E-U2. * Wed Apr 14 2004 Mark McLoughlin <markmc> - Add back ja.po with a correct translation for "Shutdown" and remove the perl date format foo (bug #120244)
