Title:
  translating "\ No newline at end of file" produces diffs that don't
  apply

Status in “diffutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired
Status in “patch” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: diffutils

  1) Ubuntu Release: 10.04 LTS 64-bit Hungarian

  2) diffutils installed version: 1:2.8.1-18

  3) Expected: diff tool should generate valid unified diff

  4) What happened: The hungarian translation of diff generates wrong
  diff file, because the diff file contains "\ Nincs újsor a file végén"
  instead of "\ No newline at end of line".

  How to reproduce:
  a) install hungarian language pack
  b) download and extract attached file
  c) open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you extracted the files before
  d) set language to hungarian by running: export LANG="hu_HU.utf8"
  e) run: diff -rupN services-0.15 services-2.4 > result.diff
  f) try to apply this patch by eclipse or patch (does not work)

  The string "\ No newline at end of line" should not be translatable.
