Created attachment 1452 [details] Garbled Chinese characters
Is this a dupliate of bug# 20260? I.e. "Standard VM (detected)" translation? The drop down in the screen shot is one that shows VM names, which is the same as the names shown in the list in bug 20260.
I didn't think so, since there was no (detected) in this string. Also, since it is in a different part of the UI (I know it could be pulling from the same key) I wasn't sure. The corruption doesn't happen in the properties file, but rather somewhere where it is being used.
The names shown in the list box are the names entered by the user when they create a JRE install or the name generated. The only generated name is "Standard VM (detected)". These are not strings that we retrieve from properties files. Could there be a persistence problem? I.e. when the workbench is shutdown and restored, we persist VMs and their names. At startup, we read them back in. Does the problem only occurr after shutdown/restart? Do you have steps to reproduce the problem?
The steps were included in the original posting. You need to have the latest NL fragments, which are out on walleye. You also need a Simplified Chinese machine, although I believe that similar problems have cropped up with traditional chinese. I will have to check on the other two double byte languages.
The tester didn't mention anything about this happening after a restart, but I will ask her.
I believe the string being garbled is "Standard VM(detected)". There are only 2 names, "Default" and "Standard VM(detected)", unless you add one manually. If the translator had added one, then there should have been three names showing in the pull down menu. Her picture only shows two. The testcases do not result in adding a name, although it is not impossible that she did it on her own. But it is highly unlikely that she did that. In any event, it still goes back to the attached image only showing two, so the garbled string is "Standard VM (detected)".
This is a dup of bug# 20260 then. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 20260 ***
