Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-codec-install
Hi. The new gnome-codec-install started using the • character in the
msgid. Unfortunately gettext still doesn't seem to work with that...
There was an earlier similar problem that was fixed in gnome-app-install
0.5.2.5-0ubuntu1 by reverting to *.
I was about to file a bug to upstream gettext project, but it seems the
bug is limited to Python. When doing a similar thing in a C program (I
used gcalctool), the problem does not exist. It might be that Python 3.0
would solve this also with all its other UTF-8 work.
Anyway, in practice this means that translations are not shown for
msgid:s that use non-ascii characters.
I agree that the • character would look much better in the English text
than the old asterisk.
