[Bug 544114] [NEW] i18n coding issues displaying postgresql-8.4 server messages

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been assigned a bug task for a public bug by David Planella (dpm):

Binary package hint: postgresql-8.4

Postgresql-8.4 on Lucid has a i18n coding issues when displays server
messages.

postgresql-8.4 template is fully translated into Spanish in Launchpad:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/postgresql-8.4/+pots/postgres-8.4/es/+translate

and the translations are included in the /usr/share/locale-
langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/postgresql-8.4.mo.

Among others, the error messages about "authentication failed" are fully
translated, as you can see here:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/postgresql-8.4/+pots/postgres-8.4/es/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=autentificaci%C3%B3n

For example, the string:

  password authentication failed for user "%s"

is translated into Spanish this way:

  la autentificación password falló para el usuario «%s»

However, if I do a mistake during authentication, the server shows the
error message in this way:

  ricardo en kadath:~$ psql -U ricardo datos
  Contraseña para usuario ricardo: 
  psql: FATAL:  la autentificaci?n password fall? para el usuario <<ricardo>>

Please, note:

  1. The ó char is replaced by ?.
  2. The « and » chars has been replaced by << and >>.

Another example: the string:

  database "%s" does not exist

is translated into Spanish as

  no existe la base de datos «%s»

as you can see here:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/postgresql-8.4/+pots/postgres-8.4/es/314/+translate

However, the error message is displayed like this:

  ricardo en kadath:~$ psql -U ricardo datos
  Contraseña para usuario ricardo: 
  psql: FATAL:  no existe la base de datos <<datos>>

Again, the « and » chars has been replaced by << and >>.

This issue is not psql related, because I tried using pgadmin3 with the
same results.

This issue can't be reproduced using postgresql-8.3 in Karmic.
