as mentioned in bug 214050 comment #9, file a separate bug.

Comment 3

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

this belongs in caps.

Comment 4

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

Actually, this is already fine on the caps backend.  I misunderstood the report.
 This is probably a localization bug.  Over to there.

Attachment: caps.properties in ja-JP.jar

Attachment is caps.properties in ja-JP.jar.
I think this bug is not japanese localization.

Comment 6

[Wladimir Palant]

Confirming this. And I also think that scrambled error messages in the JavaScript console are a major problem. Note that this isn't only a problem with the Japanese localization. Entering |javascript:alert(Components.classes)| in the address bar in a ru-RU Firefox 1.5 creates the following message in the JavaScript console:

Ошибка: uncaught exception: ^W0?@5I5=> ?>;CG0BL A2>9AB2>: UnnamedClass.classes

Here also caps.properties has been translated. However, exception messages in Unicode aren't supported (try |javascript:throw "тест"|) and this is the result. Either processing of Unicode exceptions should be fixed or caps.properties shouldn't be localized (maybe other files as well).

This problem isn't limited to Linux, seeing it on Windows as well - changing OS field to All.

Comment 8

[Alexander L. Slovesnik]

Is it dupe of Bug 232182?

Comment 9

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Yes, it's a dupe of bug 232182.
