I noticed several lintian warnings with the updated Russian translations
to debconf. (After fixing the translation to not break the build..)
When I examine one of the Russian man pages in debconf, it doesn't look
like correctly encoded Russian to me. Unless other Russian man pages,
there is no Cyrillic.
Here is a sample from debconf-get-selections.1:
.IX Header "i^a'u'Xa'i^e'ao"
debconf-get-selections \- XU\*`XI\*:A\*:E\*'O\*^ O\*'I\*:A\*:A\*oO\*`O\*:E\*'I\*'I\*:A\*o A\*^A\*'U\*'U\*` A\*:A\*'I\*^I\*^U\*`E\*` debconf
When I view this is man, I get:
iauXaieaa
debconf-get-selections - XUXIeAeEO OIeAeAaOOeEIIeAa AAUU AeAIIUE debconf
This is not a new problem with the updated translation, the same is present
in unstable too.
The same line in the ru.po seems to be valid cyrillic:
# type: textblock
#: ../../debconf-get-selections:5
msgid "debconf-get-selections - output contents of debconf database"
msgstr "debconf-get-selections - выводит содержимое базы данных debconf"
Could someone please help me fix the encoding in the generated man pages?
I suspect it might be as simple as a wrong encoding specified in the po4a.cfg,
but as I know neither po4a nor Russian, I am at a disadvantage working on this.
Here are all the lintian warnings:
