1109059 - Date search broken for an italian localization error

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: it / Italian, defect)

Description

[Marco Gaiarin]

If i go to Edit -> Find -> Search Messages and i chiise a filter on 'Date', the date are printed as '09122014' and the filter does not work, i mean:
 + if i choose to filter on 'is', no message match,
 + if i choose to filter on 'not is' all messages match
 + if i choose to filter on 'is before', no message match
 + if i choose to filter on 'is after', all messages match

note that this bug is a localization bug, and apply to ALL TB 31.X version, at least till current 31.3, on every architecture (at least on Windows and Linux).

Looking at italian forum (in italian):
 http://forum.mozillaitalia.org/index.php?topic=61987.0
bug seems know and a workaround is present, eg to use:
 defaultPref("mailnews.search_date_separator", "/");

I hope will be fixed soon. Thanks.

I'm reading klades' answer and everything seems already correct on the localization side

Unfortunately the problem is with the ESR cycle, 34.0 beta1 should be fine :-\

Sorry, totally forgotten to have fired that bug. ;-)

I've briefly tested TB 38 on Linux, and i confirm bug get fixed.

I will test TB 38 and 35 shortly... if there's some culprit i'll write here. Thanks.
