Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
When the environment variable LANG is set to ko_KR.utf8, pidgin displays all my MSN buddies and groups, but when LANG is set to en_US.utf8, a group and all buddies belonging to it disappear from the buddy list. For example, if I start pidgin with
$ env LANG=ko_KR.utf8 pidgin
then the buddy list window shows all my MSN buddies and groups. I have three groups whose names are all written in Korean. If I start pidgin with
$ env LANG=en_US.utf8 pidgin
then one of the three groups disappears from the buddy list window and only the other two are shown. Then, the lost group is restored if I restart pidgin with LANG=ko_KR.utf8. I keep the options Buddies-

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Do you get the same with Lucid or Maverick? Thanks in advance.
