Bug Description

Binary package hint: gcalctool

In Chinese locale (zh_CN.UTF-8), gcalctool is already broken because of its localized digits feature.

I've already reported this problem to the upstream ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644980 ), Ubuntu should fix it too.

A lot of Chinese users have complained about his problem:

I've fixed and tested in my bzr branch, but I'm not sure my approach is the right way to fix this bug. Maybe we can just disable the translation string.
