Comment 13 for bug 605577

When I look at the output of "msgunfmt /usr/share/locale-langpack/en/LC_MESSAGES/yelp.mo", I see the line

"Language-Team: Shavian <email address hidden>\n"

The msgstr's in the lines are in Shavian English.

In fact, when I move the yelp.mo file to yelpUSERDISABLE.mo - the problem with the weird characters goes away

I did an "apt-get source yelp" and within the po subdirectory are three English po files, which I believe are Canadian, British and Shavian po files. I guess the Shavian file got changed into a binary catalog file and was pushed into that directory as the default for English, and that catalog overrides the default. Because when the binary catalog is disabled by moving the file, the problem goes away.
