sunbird locales broken
Last modified: 2009-09-06 16:42:24 EDT
Description of problem: When trying to create a new event in Sunbird with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 I get error message. If Sunbird is started in terminal with LANG=C it is possible to create new event with no error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sunbird-1.0-0.5.20090513hg.fc11.i586.rpm (same problem with sunbird-1.0-0.3.20090302hg.fc11.i586.rpm) How reproducible: Juste try to create a new event Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start Sunbird 2.Click on any place in agenda to create new event 3. Actual results: Message (in french) Erreur d'analyse XML : entité non définie Emplacement : chrome://calendar/content/calendar-event-dialog.xul Numéro de ligne 299, Colonne 29 : <menuitem id="file-new-address-menuitem" ----------------------------^ Expected results: Additional info:
Can be confirmed for LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 (for both versions) 2nd workaround: start "sunbird -UILocale en" Seems that all other languages than english are broken?
I just updated Sunbird to sunbird-1.0-0.5.20090715hg.fc11.i586 Now, with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 in environment variables Sunbird fails to start with following message Erreur d'analyse XML : entité non définie Emplacement : chrome://sunbird/content/calendar.xul Numéro de ligne 277, Colonne 12 : <menuitem id="calendar-export-calendar-menu" -----------^ Sunbird works fine, but in english, if I start it in a terminal with following command : LANG=C sunbird As Sunbird is now unusable in other language than english, severity should be raise to high.
Again, same for LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 (and maybe others). I totaly agree to raise severity.
Bad news: Raising severity or priority is basically irrelevant Good news: New package's done. Thanks for the report.
