I’ve seen a problem in my translations lately where all C octal escaped UTF-8 characters are converted to the same unicode character, namely ‘ے’ – or YEH BARREE.
I reported a bug against gettext here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1147535
Today it was confirmed as a bug in gettext which will be fixed in the next release.
Translators should check their translations and see if they’ve been affected by the same issue. A quick grep through my source tree shows that it does 🙂
Update: Newly built packages with the fix can be found here:
