Bug Description

Binary package hint: konqueror

Whenever I download a .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file, the Save As dialogue is displayed in some language I don't understand (I'm guessing it's French, but I don't know). I'll attach a screenshot.

Locale information:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

KDE Locale information:
[Locale]
Country=gb
CurrencySymbol=$
Language=en_GB
PageSize=2
PositiveSign=

(Living in the US while still wanting GB L10n = hard)

As a matter of fact, this seems to be a problem with all the archive file formats at least. "Archive Tar" and "Archive Zip" are most certainly _not_ proper English...

This seems to be fixed for .tar.gz archives (I get the description "Gzipped Tar Archive". However, when I try to download a .tar.bz2* file, it still says "Archive Tar".

Probably your problem is due to English translation. Italian version works fine and display "file bz2",

I set in KDE United States as country and US English as language (obviously): no problem appears. Please try this if you have a different setting. Thanks

I set United Kingdom as the country in KDE (which didn't affect the locales environment variables for some reason), and the problem appears. The .po file has the proper translation in it, so KDE seems to be pulling the wrong translation for some reason.

It is possible that the correct translation wasn't pulled yet in KDE. A full upgrade may fix this problem, else you can check if .po file was recently changed. In this case probably changes wasn't uploaded yet.

In my tests with Gutsy, this bug seems fixed. Please reopen if you have this problem again.
