10069	(2.8-RC1) HTML entities and variables won't always work in JavaScript messages	xibe	nbachiyski	"A bug has re-surfaced during a community test of the fr_FR translation for 2.8-RC1.

The fr_FR translation uses many HTML entites, and under certain conditions (have yet to determine them), they break the JS message.

Original string: 
  ""You are about to delete the selected categories.\n""

  ""  'Cancel' to stop, 'OK' to delete.""
fr_FR translation:
  ""Vous êtes sur le point de supprimer la catégorie sélectionnée.\n""

  ""  « Annuler » pour abandonner, « OK » pour supprimer.""

The reporter's [http://pastie.textmate.org/453998 proposed patch] involves correcting the POT (by using UTF-8 characters directly instead of HTML entities) for these strings:
  ""Vous êtes sur le point de supprimer les catégories sélectionnées.\n""

  ""  « Annuler » pour abandonner, « OK » pour supprimer.""

While this is eaasily done, I wonder why it should boy under some conditions and not others - and thus, if it could not be corrected in order to work under all conditions.

This needs some testing (browsers, OS...), which I will report here when I have more time..."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	2.8	I18N	2.8	normal	duplicate
