I've found two small bugs with function manager (File - Function files -

1) When I install function package, the local status changes from "Not

close the manager and open it again, the local status is "Not installed"
again.
2) When I use Russian locale this manager doesn't correctly display local
status. I get some readable Russian characters and some "rectangles"
instead of translated string "Not installed" ("Íå óñòàíîâëåí"
in Russian).
I think this is now fixed in CVS. However, I'm seeing one
apparently odd thing that is maybe introduced by gettext and I
wonder if anyone can comment. It's to do with the string "Not
installed" for function packages and databases. In ru.po this is
given as (transliterated): "Ne ustanovlen". But when it appears
to the user it's "Ne ustanovlen(a)". I added debugging code to
print this translation to stderr as well as the GUI and it's the
same in both cases, i.e.
Being a former student of Russian philology myself, I'm amazed by the
accumulation of Russian-savvy non-native speakers on this list! Anyway,
and the native speakers please correct me, but the form ending in -a
would be for "female" things that are not installed (=where the word is
of female gender). IIRC gettext has some facilities that try to
automatically deal with plural and gender-specific forms, so I guess
somewhere there is a configuration setting that does it. But apart from
these vague memories I can't provide any real help.
