           Summary: Reply quotation broken when using Norwegian translation
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.7
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: oyvinds everdot org


Version:           1.9.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          not relevant 
OS:                Linux

The "Default reply template" translation in kde-i18n 3.5.8 for Norwegian Bokmål (nb) is broken in a way which makes kmail show a blank message when you reply instead of a quoted version of the message you are replying to.

The current translation is:

%REM=«Standard svarmal »%-
På %ODATEEN , %OTIMELONGEN skrev du:
%QUOTE
%CURSOR

The does-not-break-kmail version is:

%REM="Standard svarmal"%-
På %ODATE , %OTIMELONG skrev du:
%QUOTE
%CURSOR

Do note the %REM= with "" in the correct version, the «Standard svarmal » part in the translation totally breaks kmail's reply function. It should also be noted that %ODATEEN , %OTIMELONGEN give English texts for date and time while the shorter correct-for-translation %ODATE , %OTIMELONG is actually translated when you hit reply.

BTW! All the other reply templates used by kmail (reply to list, etc) are TOTALLY BROKEN in exactly the same way.

This bug is kind of serious since it imho makes kontact/kmail completely useless for everyone who chooses to use KDE 3.5.8 in Norwegian...
