Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

For some reason, in File Roller's password dialog on en_CA, it says "Password:wolverine" to the left of the password box, instead of "Password:" (Using final Gutsy)

Google brought up this page on Launchpad, looks like it may be someone inserting purposely mangled translations to annoy users: https://translations.launchpad.net/~aheathc

I'm still seeing this in Hardy, and it's been around for a while. What's the proper procedure to get this corrected?

This is actually a translation error in the en_CA locale (details in bug 325598).
