 [04:31:05] <Xeon4D> I was wondering if anyone can replicate a bug on alpha
 3.
 [04:31:29] <Xeon4D> Changing the locale and picking the box to translate
 the folders on the locale preflet then open the about this system...
 [04:31:56] <Xeon4D> i get this

 [04:32:39] <Xeon4D> (1011 mb ram, %inaccesible MiB inaccessible .. yaddah
 [04:32:52] <Xeon4D> the variable is translated as well it seems
 [...]
 [04:33:02] <augiedoggie> yeah, looks like a bad translation
 [04:33:14] <augiedoggie> I'm not in Haiku to test it myself
 [04:33:28] <Xeon4D> bad translation or bad localization of the about
 window?
 [04:34:15] <augiedoggie> I'm not too familiar with that stuff
 [04:35:10] <Xeon4D> oh okay
 [...]

 I've found some translated (or misspelled - %ld <-> %Id) variables on HTA
 and changed them in strings that have not been approved, yet. Translated
 variables that can only be changed by a language manager because they have
 already been approved are:

 Spanish:                %inaccesible -> %inaccessible[[BR]]
 Portuguese:     %inacessíveis -> %inaccessible[[BR]]
 Croatian:               %ukupno -> %total, %nepristupačno ->
 %inaccessible[[BR]]
 Dutch:          %ontoegankelijk -> %inaccessible[[BR]]

 Confusing the lower-case "l" in %ld with an upper-case "I" won't happen so
 often anymore as HTA has used a sans serif lower-case "l" and a serif
 upper-case "I" for some time.
