This affect the french translation in Kubuntu feisty too. To solve this problem, I found this workarround in a french blog (while waiting the official release to correct it) source (french): http://www.souslestoits.net/blog/index.php/post/2006/11/03/76-quanta-plus-de-nouveau-en-francais The blog says a file is missing in the kde-i18n-fr package
solution given: install the normal translation package sudo apt-get install kde-i18n-fr then get this package directly from kubuntu edgy wget http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-356/pool-edgy/kde-i18n/kde-i18n-fr_3.5.6-0ubuntu1~edgy1_all.deb uncompress it dpkg -x kde-i18n-fr_3.5.6-0ubuntu1~edgy1_all.deb kde-i18n-fr and copy it to the right place sudo cp kde-i18n-fr/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/quanta.mo /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ note: the package kde-i18n-fr is not included when installing quanta, so I think the best solution is to correct the quanta package AND the kde- i18n-XX package Hope this help -- Broken .po file format export for Quanta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46156 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
