Description Aleksey Nogin 2002-05-02 00:19:53 UTC 
The /usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/texinfo.mo file included in texinfo-4.1-1
contains all the messages in windows-1251 charset instead of the koi8-r that is
the standard charset for Russian on Unix. This essentially causes all the
messages to be printed as garbage (and I have to pipe the output to recode to
decipher them).
Comment 1 Aleksey Nogin 2002-05-02 00:23:55 UTC 
P.S. the .mo contains 

Project-Id-Version: texinfo 4.0d
POT-Creation-Date: 2002-03-04 08:57-0800
PO-Revision-Date: 2001-11-20 12:47+0300
Last-Translator: Oleg S. Tihonov <tihonov.ru>
Language-Team: Russian <ru>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

which suggests that they indeed ment for int to be in koi8-r, but something went
wrong...

Milan beta2 does not have this problem.
