I can reword the exception handler to present a yes/no question for this
situation.  If I add text to the message, it will need to be translated to the
other languages.

I can fix this for RHEL4U4.

parted exception message rewording

Here's the patch I'm proposing.  I changed it to ask a yes/no question and
added the sentence "Use NNN sector size?"

mkim:  Is translation for this patch possible for RHEL4U4?

Sure David, 
Is it okay if I provide translation for the following particular sentence in
text format?

The sector size on %s is %d bytes.  Parted is known not to work properly with
drives with sector sizes other than %d bytes.  Use %d sector size?"

Once I gather translation from each translator, I will attach the translation
back to this ticket.

Cheers,
Michelle

Michelle,

That will be fine.  I can add the translations to the patch for the package. 
I've committed to April 28th for early release errata for this package.  Can you
get the translations to me before then?

Thanks,
David

Michelle,

Thanks for sending those.  I'm having trouble adding the translations to the po
files (mostly it's because I don't know how to deal with these character sets
and I'm trying various copy and paste methods from the browser).

Could you attach the translated text as a separate file that I can download?

Thanks,

David

updated translations for new message string

Dave, parted-16.19/po/ directory only has a subset of our Red Hat Tier-1
languages. That being {de,es,fr,it,ja,ru,zh_CN}.po. Please find a patch against
this language set attached.

I applied your previous patch and updated the parted.pot so you can get the
exact msgid/msgstr you are looking for. You may notice that these patches
pickup other changes you may not need so feel free to pick and choose.

I've double checked the file encodings for the patch set should be correct.
Please note that the parted .po files have not yet been converted to UTF-8
though so let me know if that causes you any problems.

I've added the translations and built a new package.  Thanks for the patch, Paul.
