Es similar a gdialog, pero se supone que mássano. Viene de la misma familia que dialog, Xdialog y cdialog. Expected results: English descriptions Additional info: If you install the packages and run "rpm -qi" you see the english description, so the problem only seems to be with the headers used by yum, not the actual packages.
This only affect the British locale. $ echo $LANG en_GB.UTF-8 $ $ LANG= yum info tix.i386 Loading "fedorakmod" plugin Available Packages Name : tix Arch : i386 Epoch : 1 Version: 8.4.2 Release: 2.fc8 Size : 327 k Repo : fedora Summary: A set of extension widgets for Tk Description: Tix, the Tk Interface eXtension, is a powerful set of user interface components that expands the capabilities of your Tcl/Tk and Python applications. Using Tix together with Tk will greatly enhance the appearance and functionality of your application. That implies someone's mixed up the "en_GB" and "es" locales. I assure you they are different languages :-)
updated Summary
but they've not been mixed up in yum. That info comes from the rpm specspo package, reassigning.
Apologies for putting this under the wrong package, I didn't know where the translations came from. The file specspo-15/desc/en_GB.po in the SRPM seems to be an older version of the Spanish file, specspo-15/desc/es.po The en_GB.po file begins: # #-#-#-#-# es.po (es) #-#-#-#-# # translation of es.po to Spanish # translation of es.po to # translation of es.po to # translation of es.po to # translation of es.po to # translation of es.po to # translation of es.po to # translation of es.po to # translation of es.po to # translation of es.po to spanish # Copyright (C) 2001, Red Hat Italia # #-#-#-#-# es.po (es) #-#-#-#-# # Translation of specspo/desc to Spanish # Copyright (C) 1995-2005 Red Hat, Inc. # Nuria Soriano <nsoriano>, 2001. # Fernando Ruiz-Tapiador Gutiérrez <frtapiador>, 2001. # Yelitza Louze <ylouze>, 2003. # Monica Vasquez <monica77vasquez.au>, 2004. # Manuel Ospina <mospina>, 2005, 2006. # Rodolfo M.

Comparing the dates with es.po shows it is not even the most recent set of Spanish translations! Please either replace that with the right contents or revert en_GB.po to the last known good version.
The commit which replaced en_GB.po by es.po was a mistake; fixed in specspo-15.

$ yum info autoconf213 | fgrep Description Description: GNU Autoconf es una herramienta para configurar el código fuente y $ rpm -q specspo specspo-15-1.noarch Now using Fedora 9 but I still see Spanish info. Surely this is pretty easy to fix, can it be done please? It's annoying having to remember to override $LANG when I want to use "yum info"
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This was still present in FC9, but seems to be fixed in the newkey repos. In fact, I don't see Spanish info even with LANG=es_ES, but that works for me.
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
