Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 12:33:34 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'.

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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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:

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2013-01-31 02:45:02 UTC
This issue still present in even f18.

Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2013-01-31 02:52:10 UTC
Seems removing the .mo file works around this - so could it be some problem with the .po file?

Comment 6 Shankar Prasad 2013-01-31 08:55:38 UTC
Jens,

Yes, this workaround removes the error message and loads the interface in en_US. How can I check the sanity of translations?

Thanks
Shankar

In fact this isn't a translation issue. the code looks broken and not dealing with utf-8 string properly.

Comment 12 Akira TAGOH 2015-06-02 03:06:57 UTC
This still persists on f22. tested with LANG=kn_IN.UTF-8 xchat.

Comment 14 Satyabrata Maitra 2016-05-30 07:12:23 UTC
xchat for Indic languages are throwing CRITICAL traceback with core dump in F24. Crashing completely.

Component version tested : xchat-2.8.8-31.fc24

Comment 15 Debarshi Ray 2017-02-23 17:16:33 UTC
Heads-up. XChat is being considered for removal (bug 1217584) from Fedora and HexChat would be the natural replacement for it.

Comment 17 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 11:40:24 UTC
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 18 sachin 2017-08-24 10:49:12 UTC
Hi,

This issue is still reproducible with xchat on Fedora 26, but as mentioned in above comment by Debarshi Ray "XChat is being considered for removal (bug 1217584)" I tested it with Hexchat + Fedora 26 and it working fine with kn_In locale. 

so recommended using Hexchat. and latest fedora version 26
