Since a couple of days header and left side links of the site are no longer 
translated. Affected languages: bg, cs, de, hy, id, hu, fi. It seems all texts 
that are translated via gettext templates (.po) are ignored. Example: the 
package search page at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

Rebuilding the site on Lenny/Sid (with locales-all installed) seems to work 
normally. There was a theory that the site build was done at the time when 
locales-all was upgraded (due to 5.0.8 release), but according to taffit this 
is unlikely as the different languages are built in alphabetcal order and there 
are languages that are translated fine (French), inbetween the problemmatic 
languages (e.g. Finnish and German).


Cheers!

Thanks to DSA's prompt action and Rhonda's support, I was able to 
pin-point the problem. It was in mis-compiled message catalogs (.mo) 
that were overly short (if not empty). Removing these from both 
webwml/$lang/po and webwml/locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES forced their 
rebuilding, which put everything back into place.

I still suspect that the core reason is that the message catalogs in 
question were rebuilt during upgrade of libc6/locales[-all], but have 
no hard evidence of that. If someone can reproduce the problem, please 
reopen/reassign this bug to locales.

Meanwhile, I am closing the bug as solved.
