[karmic] Bad encoding for po/el.po file - should be utf-8

[vista killer]

Dialogs do not show unicode characters properly in greek translation in Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04. Here is and one photo from the problem.

UPDATE:
The problem is the malformed po/el.po file used in devede source. It shows junk text in iso-8859-7 character set.
The translation should be done in UTF-8.

This is the po/el.po file expected to be in a future release:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/132617/

It uses proper UTF-8 encoding. :)

Attached a DEBDIFF patch to fix the issue with the po/el.po file.
Note: It's archived in .tar.gz because it contains malformed character set data. I've tested it, the debdiff and the .dpatch file can be applied successfully.

I'll attach a new one in a while

* Added 10-el.po_greek_translation_fix.dpatch - Changes malformed Greek
  translation, applied a correct translation expected in a future release.
  Thanks to Fotis Tsamis for providing the el.po file. (LP: #344189)
* debian/rules: Use update_mo_files
* debian/control, debian/rules: Added dpatch

Note: The patch is debdiff.tar.gz (not .diff.tar.gz) :)

If you wish to try out the correct el.mo you can try out the attached package (Built on Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty jackalope)

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

Attached the build log (pbuilder-dist) with debc.

[vista killer (vistakiller)]

No problem with this package. Here is and a pic

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

This should either be set for karmic, or wait for the new upstream release to arrive and use the corrected translation file :)

Savvas, does version 3.13.0 fix the issue?

> Savvas, does version 3.13.0 fix the issue?

Yes, I just tried the version from debian multimedia with this command:

LANGUAGE="el_GR:el" LANG="el_GR.UTF-8" devede

works perfectly :)

Can anyone confirm this bug with the latest release available for Karmic?

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

Unsubscribing sponsors team for now.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

3.14.0 is in karmic, so I think yes, this is probably fixed!
