Created attachment 105041 [details] Please find attached the latest copy of the po file.
Just wanted to follow up if you have any timeframe on rebuilding the package for RHEL4. It would be great to include the fixed tamil translation in because tamil is one of our official supported languages. Thanks!
I have built gail-1.8.0-3.el4 in dist-4E-U2 now.
Confirmed fixed in EL4 with gail-1.8.0-3.el4. However, in FC4, gail-1.8.3-1, the encoding is still broken.
I can't quite believe that, as the only difference between the .po files is the creation date.

Ah, sorry. I spoke too soon. I did not update that RHEL4 directory in a loong time...
