Hi David and Matthew,
The problem is in the "localize.sh" script. It seems that po2html does
not manage correctly the accents in the po file. A work-around is the
usage of HTML codes for special characters [1] in the .po file instead
of the utf-8 encoded characters (e.g. "Páxina" instead of "Páxina").
Matthew: I am attaching the corrected Galician translation (gl.po with
HTML codes). I have also checked the http://start.ubuntu.com/8.10/ page,
and the Galician version is not working at all... Am I being very
impatient or is there any problem? Thanks!
Kind regards,
Felipe.

Hi Matthew,
I have just noticed the new start page has been released.
However, I see that the title is at least for the Catalan translation
is not being displayed correctly.
Although the text in the submitted translation was correctly encoded
in UTF-8, the published browser start page title shows some kind of
unreadable character (see the screenshot in the bug report mentioned
below). Having had a look at the HTML source, it seems that the
character is wrongly written there. Is the page really encoded in
UTF-8?
I have also submitted a bug about this [1].
As translators are doing an extra effort to provide last-minute
translations to this page, it would be nice to have them correctly
published before release.
Also, is it really not possible to translate the "Search" string on
the search button?
Thanks.
Regards,
David.

Hi Matthew,
please find attached the Catalan translation.
I must also agree with Bruno Patri: the page should be fully
translatable. What's most visible for me at the moment is the "Search"
button: at least that should be translatable, otherwise a half
English, half localised start page does not give a very good
impression.
The ability to provide a localised google URL (e.g. google.cat, .de or
whathever) would be nice as well.
Regards,
David.
