Description Marcel Telka 2002-02-01 10:54:21 UTC 
There is 8bit character in string in gtransaltor's source file src/zpmd.h
marked for translations:

#define GTRANSLATOR_MIDDLE_DOT (_("\xb7")[0])

This is invalid character for gettext and doesn't allow translate
gtranslator itself to another language using utf-8 in .po file (affected
translations: sk.po and az.po). Please use either utf-8 encoding or plain
7bit ascii only in this string. Thanks.

MAybe later on I could think about a salvation from this issue; but in
this month: niente, almost no time.
Comment 2 Fatih Demir 2002-02-15 17:22:30 UTC 
Any suggestions which character to take? Only '~' and '°' are really
good and fitting into ASCII...
Comment 3 Marcel Telka 2002-02-15 17:56:17 UTC 
'°' is '\xb0' and this isn't valid character for gettext too.
Comment 4 Fatih Demir 2002-02-15 18:19:12 UTC 
Arg, I meant '^' -- I held shift too long (<shame/>), so the ^ got a °.

Well, '^', '~' are the only candidates for now.
Comment 5 Fatih Demir 2002-02-17 12:28:46 UTC 
Solved by Gediminas fix and Pablo's idea will also go into the code in
the near future.

We can keep all being happy.. so, bug resolved. Marcel, am I right?
