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
