Same issue in quantal (tab char was fixed in translation, but special ctrl char still wrong). I have attached a (very simple) patch, for potential maintainer(s). Please apply these changes, if you think they are appropriate.
Moreover, should someone want to patch texinfo file by him/herself, please do as following: download file texinfo.po for your release from lauchpad, e.g. for Ubuntu 12.10 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/quantal/language-pack-it-base/quantal/download/head:/texinfo.po-20110119120642-tdoej8x3jpu7ms0l-2/texinfo.po download attached texinfo_it.patch in the same directory... patch the texinfo.po: $ patch < texinfo_it.patch compile it: $ msgfmt -o texinfo.mo texinfo.po finally install the mo file: $ sudo install -m 644 texinfo.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/it/LC_MESSAGES/texinfo.mo ...and update info: $ sudo update-info-dir Hope it might be useful, in some way. ** Patch added: "fix wrong char" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texinfo/+bug/707931/+attachment/3469303/+files/texinfo_it.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/707931 Title: info can not find "Top" node (it_IT.UTF-8 Italian locale) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texinfo/+bug/707931/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
