String errors in Epiphany

[Samuel Allen]

Epiphany 1.6.0 in Hoary has several places where there are user interface
strings that are visible. For example, if you go to Customize toolbars, the drop
down menu reads "toolbar Style|Text beside icons". This is in the USA/English
localization. This bug was also present in the GNOME 2.10 Live CD. I am using
the Hoary Preview installed with all the latest updates. I can attach a
screenshot if you don't understand what I'm talking about.

I don't have this issue with en_US.UTF-8 and the current version. What is the
output of "strace -e open epiphany 2>&1 | grep MESSAGES" ?

This is the output:

This bug also occurs without epiphany-extensions installed.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

right, that's a bug of the en_GB translation fixed in the CVS, it'll be fixed
with GNOME 2.10.1

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

This upload fixes the issue:

 epiphany-browser (1.6.1-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release:
...
     - fix translation issues (Hoary: #8392).

[Samuel Allen (allensamuel)]

1.6.1 didn't fix this for me. I still get the string errors.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

update the language-pack for you locale and that should work fine
