Dear devels,
I encountered a couple of blockers when trying to edit the latest
version (as of today) of the ro.po file (revision 25173). Although I
have no experience in dealing with translation files, the encoding
seems badly messed up. Most programs that I usually use (Geany,
Bluefish, emelFM2 internal editor) all fail decrypting and displaying
the Romanian characters correctly. The file contains the following
lines:
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
I was happily surprised that Meld managed to correctly read the file,
and save it using UTF-8. The reencoded file has the following lines (I
manually replaced "ISO-8859-2" with "UTF-8"):
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
Having discussed the issue with the current maintainer, Marius
Ionescu, we decided that it was OK to switch to the ("pure") UTF-8
encoded ro.po [1]. (I zipped the file so as to make it uploadable.)
Could someone having the appropriate permissions to trunk please
replace the current ro.po with the re-encoded file?
Thank you,
Liviu
