89569 - Cannot localise Msg user wrote string

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 70842

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Rose Smyth]

String '[e-mail]' wrote:' which appears when you reply to a mail does 
not appear to be localisable. I've located this string in mime.properties and it 
is localised so perhaps it is hardcoded elsewhere?
# Msg user wrote
## @name MIME_MSG_USER_WROTE
## @loc 
# LOCALIZATION NOTE (1033): Do not translate "%s" below.
# Place the %s where you wish the name of the user to appear
# Do not translate "<P>"
1033=%s schrieb:<P>

We have another property file for MIME header: mimeheaders.properties. (Please
see bug 62715).

see bug 75377 and

I think we should not hard code that string. And in the localized build maybe we 
should use
"%s :"
instead of
"%s worte:" or any translation of "wrote"

No english is better than english in localized build.

How does this differ from bug 70842?
