[Debian-l10n-devel] Bug#892875: poedit: Messy error message displayed when str check failed under zh_CN.UTF-8 env (wrong encoding?)

[Boyuan Yang]

Package: poedit
Version: 2.0.6-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The following steps could reproduce the problem:

1. Enable zh_CN.UTF-8 locale
2. Install any CJK fonts on system (fonts-noto-cjk for example)
3. Open a random PO file with poedit under zh_CN.UTF-8 locale
4. (Wrongly) edit translation so that the check would fail
   For example, deliberately translate a %ld to %lu which would
   cause a mismatch.
5. Save the file.

In this way, messy error message would appear in poedit window.

A screenshot is provided.
