1231640 - [gtk3] GtkAppChooserDialog: failed to set text 'Hilfsanwendung w\xe4hlen' (German translation)

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P5)

Description

[Christian Stadelmann]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible)
Build ID: 20151102093730

Steps to reproduce:

0. I am running firefox builds from fedora 23 with Gtk3 enabled. I don't know whether that matters.
1. start firefox with german locale (on unix derivates: `$ LC_ALL=de_DE firefox`)
2. download a file
3. choose a different application


Actual results:

Firefox opens a GtkAppChooserDialog with title "Anwendung auswählen". I get 2 identical warning messages on console:

(firefox:1828): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text 'Hilfsanwendung w\xe4hlen' from markup due to error parsing markup: Fehler in Zeile 1, Zeichen 30: Ungültiger UTF-8-kodierter Text im Namen - »Hilfsanwendung w\xe4hlen« ist nicht gültig

which translates to:

(firefox:1828): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text 'Hilfsanwendung w\xe4hlen' from markup due to error parsing markup: Error in line 1, character 30: Invalid UTF-8 encoded text in name - »Hilfsanwendung w\xe4hlen« is invalid

This looks like an encoding issue in translation files to me.


Expected results:

GtkAppChooserDialog should display "Hilfsanwendung wählen". This is the text I see when unpacking /usr/lib64/firefox/langpacks/[e-mail] archive and open the file chrome/de/locale/de/mozapps/downloads/unknownContentType.properties

This is a minor UI issue, but it looks like something on your build system (or in Gtk3) is broken. Can you write a test case to verify translation files before commiting them? Just to make sure that this doesn't happen again.
