10066,Issues with timezone picker in RC1,xibe,ryan,"I should have seen it earlier, but while making a quick test of the fr_FR translation with RC1, I noticed two issues in the TZ picker.

Note: the ""wordpress-continents-cities.pot"" has been translated (albeit partially) into ""continents-cities-fr_FR.po"" for a long time now, and is up to date with that latest POT.

  - some continents names are not translated, even though they are in the local po/mo. In fact (I find this out while making a list of the faulty continents), ALL of them are untranslated, SAVE for the first one: ""Africa"" does show up as ""Afrique"".

  - cities are not alphabetically sorted after translation. The fr_FR has issues which I attributed to special characters (like strings starting with 'Île' (Island) showing on top (or not!), then I stumbled upon this gem (there might be others): Douala  > [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Aai%C3%BAn El Aaiun] > Freetown is displayed as Douala > [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%C3%A2youne Laâyoune] > Freetown. Please not that, following [http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-polyglots/2009-May/003434.html Nikolay's advices], Douala and Freetown are left untranslated in the fr_FR po/mo. In short, they are displayed with the original sorting. Dunno if the non-translations is what is breaking things.

Attached picture shows the whole Atlantic continent as displayed in 2.8-RC1 with the latest fr_FR translation. I added 'Île' to some of the entries, and this get 'Île' scattered around in the continent's sub-list.

These are not blocker items, but still, it makes for some strings being moved around in the list, which can prove untidy.",defect (bug),closed,high,2.8,I18N,2.8,major,fixed,has-patch,
