I'm closing the synaptic tasks because the translation string in hebrew comes from debconf. Secondly, forcing 'C' locale from synaptic is not the correct solution. It fixes the problem only for that specific application but it should done for all apps which include a console which will introduce a high maintenance cost. If the terminal comes to support RTL languages, we will have to change it back.
PS : Yaron, or any member of the Hebrew translation team, could you please contact me on #ubuntu-bugs to discuss of a possible solution. Thanks in advance. As a side note: wget also display localized strings in hebrew. You would probably be interested in disabling translations from that app too. ** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix ** Changed in: synaptic Status: New => Invalid -- dpkg uses wrong encoding for Hebrew https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251705 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
