Attachment: should fix the missing entities

I am not sure if the paths within the patch are really useful for you, since
it normally comes as xpi/jar/zip archive.

Which version of Calendar did you use? The languag pack for 1.7.2 is _only_
synchronized with the trunk calendar at that date, and _not_ with anything else,
including 1.7 branch.

As per bug 327201 this one should be fixed or otherwise closed, too?

This is about 1.7.x, so this is INVALID or WONTFIX, yes.
The newer SeaMonkey L10n packs fit the respective in-tree calendar versions (note that this also means that the SeaMonkey 1.0 L10n fits the older calendar version that is on 1.8.0 branch but not the newer one that got released as an XPI extension for SeaMonkey 1.0).
The situation should get better once bug 267981 is solved, and calendar XPIs can be delivered with current L10n.
