299626 - Print Dialog is not truly localizable. Some printing options become unreadable if localized

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla Localizations :: Other, defect)

Description

[Vahe Khachikyan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050601 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050601 Firefox/1.0.4

Under WinXP (probably the other Windozes too), the print dialog File->Print has
frame printing related options ("Print Frames" Frame group box) that are
localizable in toolkit/chrome/global/printdialog.properties. However
localization of this properties results in those entries not being displayed
correctly.

Probably this is caused by the recoding of those properties from UTF-8 to
current codepage before displaying. In attached screenshot you can see that
everything laying in one byte range (from point of view of current codepage) is
displayed, whereas everything else, eg. an intentional entry between 'Print' and
'Frames' which is made in Russian, the option labels that are in Armenian are
not displayed. However the German umlauts are displayed.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make corresponding changes to printdialog.properties
2.
3.
