Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla Localizations :: Other, defect)

Description

[Alex Morotsky]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

After adding Ukrainian index to the file help-indexAZ.rdf
(chrome\en-US.jar\locale\en-US\help\help-indexAZ.rdf) (Help-Index sidebar) the
Ukrainian letters appear in wrong order.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Extract en-US.jar and add Ukrainian alphabet (after the English one) to
locale\en-US\help\help-indexAZ.rdf.
2. Put this file back into en-US.jar (compress it using WinZip, normal
compression preserving directory structure and change extension to .jar).
3. Run Mozilla, open Help window and click on the Index sidebar.
Actual Results:  
Ukrainian-specific letters come first followed by the rest of the letters common
for both Russian and Ukrainian alphabet. English alphabet comes last.

Expected Results:  
Western letters should come first followed by Ukrainian alphabet in correct order.

Attachment: Help index with English and Ukrainian alphabet

To see the bug you should replace the file
en-US.jar\locale\en-US\help\help-indexAZ.rdf (located in the chrome folder of
Mozilla) with the attached file.

I don't know what Ukrainian is supposed to look like, but I cc'd someone from
localization to see if they can help.

Our script doesn't do any sorting with the Index. We could either add a sort
function or ask the localizers to sort the index.

See bookmark's sort functions:

Attachment: Correct order?

Alex: I am not familiar with the Ukrainian alphabet, but as far as I see this
works for me with the 2004-02-13 nightly, and even with Mozilla 1.4.1. The bug
as you described it was visible in 1.2.1 though.

Do you still see this in a current release, such as 1.6 or 1.7a?

Daniel: yes the order is correct. Thanks everyone!
