86980 - email headers not localizable when printing

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Localization, defect, P2)

Description

[xspuente]

When printing an email with a localized version of Mozilla 0.9.1 (Asturian,
German or Italian), the fields From:, To:, Subject: and Date:, that appear
localized in the messenger window, are printed in English.

Comment 1

[rchen]

This is mozilla localization issue.

Reassigned to tao.

How about printing of subject itself? For example, can you print out german 
subject? And can you print out mail body or a german web page?

Reassign to putterman.

Comment 4

[xspuente]

The fact is that the four strings I mentioned appear correct in the language you
choose, in the messenger window, but if you print the page, everything is the
same, but From, To,... that appear in English.

Marking nsbranch- as it was decided in the August bug triage that we wouldn't
have enough time in eMojo to fix this.  Let's revisit for MachV.

Comment 6

[elaineking]

ji - can you check and see if this is still an issue? Is this working in 6.2?

Comment 9

[ji]

Yes, the problem is still there, it was not resolved in 6.2.

Comment 10

[xspuente]

No, I'm using 0.9.5 with the Asturian langpack and the printed email still
appears in English while on the screen is in Asturian.

Comment 11

[ji]

I meant it's not working in 6.2.

Nominating for nsbeta1.

Comment 13

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

Is this really a nsbeta1+, P2? If yes, then we need to try and targeted to a
milestone M1.0 or earlier to make the beta.

I found the problem, here comes the patch.

with my patch, I was able to edit mimeheader.properties and the new strings 
showed up in the printed version.

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/find?string=mimeheader.properties

looking at the blame log (http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvslog.cgi?
file=mozilla/mailnews/mime/resources/mimeheader.properties) [e-mail] 
 added some localizations notes.  

if localizers followed them, we wouldn't localize a few of the headers.

 25 # LOCALIZATION NOTE (BCC); DONT_TRANSLATE
 26 BCC=BCC
 27 # LOCALIZATION NOTE (CC); DONT_TRANSLATE
 28 CC=CC
 31 # LOCALIZATION NOTE (FCC); DONT_TRANSLATE
 32 FCC=FCC
 49 # LOCALIZATION NOTE (RESENT-CC); Do not translate "CC"
 50 RESENT-CC=Resent-CC

I'm not 100% certain those are correct, but I haven't investigated.
