Subject: lokalize: sometimes remove all non-Cyrillic characters from po-files

Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:38:35 +0200

Package: lokalize
Version: 4:4.1.2-1
Severity: important

When I try to update some Ukrainian translation, lokalize sometimes
removes all non-Cyrillic characters from some msgstr's.

Example:

msgid "%s: failed to create new font face\n"
msgstr "    неможливо створити новий шрифт"

Where msgstr was:

msgstr "%s: неможливо створити новий шрифт\n"

It is possible that saved po file contains both correct translations and
transaltions whithout non-Cyrillic characters. Also sometimes those 
incorrect translations are visible in the GUI, but only after moving
to some other string and then back, not during normal translation.

Severity important because this is a easy way to make very bad translations
without even noticing (not always visible in the GUI, most string may be correct).

Version: 4:4.2.0-1

I cannot reproduce this problem with latest version of lokalize,
so I'm closing this bug.
