Description


Name: gm110360			Date: 06/24/2002


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Plug-in Java(TM): Version 1.4.0
Utilisation de la version JRE 1.4.0 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
NT 4.0 SP6

ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS :
IExplorer V6



A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Many french messages content sentences with single quote.

These messages are displayed without single quote ('), and
often with unsubstituted "{0}" or "{1}" patterns.

Plugin uses java.text.MessageFormat.format() mecanism to
display messages.

And these ressource messages do'nt respected the documented
MessageFormat rules:
  Within a String, "''" represents a single quote.
  A QuotedString can contain arbitrary characters except
single quotes; the surrounding single quotes are removed.

Occurs in folowing versions: 1.4.0, 1.4.0_01, 1.4.1_beta

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Use "-Duser.language=fr" parameter in Java plugin
configuration panel.

2.Display message with single quote (inconsistent
Certificate, new installation or update of extension, ...)


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
1) Display single quote (') in messages.

2) Substitute "{0}", "{1}" variables in these "single quote
messages".

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Bad message without {0} substitution,
No error

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
*** No Source code ***

Several messages content single quote and {0} variables in
sun.plugin.resources.Activator_fr.class resource file.

Example with "https_dialog.text" entry:

 French text entry is:
   ......
   Nom d'h��te de l'URL : {0}
   Nom d'h��te du certificat : {1}

 This message is displayed like this:
   ......
   Nom dh��te de lURL : ybs.myCompany.fr
   Nom dh��te du certificat : {1}

3 Remarks:
-  Quotes are removed
-  "{0}" is substituted (->Two single quote exist in the sentence)
-  "{1}" is displayed (->Only one single quote)


 For information, english message would be:
   ....
   Host name of the URL: ybs.myCompany.fr
   Host name from the certificate: john.myCompany.fr

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Use english version ( "-Duser.language=fr" parameter )

EVALUATION This is not a plug-in bug. This is MessageFormat syntax that needs to be used correctly in the translated versions of the strings. Take a look at the MessageFormat API: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html There are several examples on the page above. They acknowledge that the syntax for using single quotes in combination with parameters ({0}) is not straight forward. I've tried the following example: In order to display this string in Java Console Connectin' http://pcne.east/~mfisher/Test_progress/broken_image.jar with proxy'=webcache2:8080 I had to use the following syntax in the Activator.java file: "net.connect.proxy_is", "Connectin'' {0} with proxy''={1}" (you have to have extra "'" in front of a "'". If you have only one "'" it will not be displayed and {1} will be used as part of the string instead of being replaced with a parameter.) I am transfering this but to l10n team, since they need to update the translated strings with correct syntax. If you have any particular questions about using syntax - please feel free to contact me. ###@###.### 2002-07-10 see bug #4774227, 4651958 also. ###@###.### 2002-12-13 have revised ' symbol issue for all resource files under deploy dir, here lists the revised contents for Activator_fr.java, for obtaining the whole information, pls. refer to webrev: FILE: src/plugin/src/share/classes/sun/plugin/resources/Activator_fr.java [FOUND ' IN WORDS] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> "<html>Discordance du nom d'h\u00f4te</html>Le nom d'h\u00f4te figurant dans le certificat de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du serveur ne correspond pas au nom du serveur." + "\n\nNom d'h\u00f4te de l'URL : {0}" + "\nNom d'h\u00f4te du certificat : {1}" + "\n\nVoulez-vous continuer ?" <<< "<html>Discordance du nom d''h\u00f4te</html>Le nom d''h\u00f4te figurant dans le certificat de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du serveur ne correspond pas au nom du serveur." + "\n\nNom d''h\u00f4te de l''URL : {0}" + "\nNom d''h\u00f4te du certificat : {1}" + "\n\nVoulez-vous continuer ?"
