** Observed with 3/7/2000 Win32 build ** There are a number of strings in the Address Book which do not display as Japanese. There are quite a few of them and it is likely that these are hard-coded and not externalized. I'm CC'ing hangas on this also. The picture is worht a thousand words. Take a look at the untranslated words in the JPN version of the AdBook viewing pane:

Display Name, Nickname, Work, Home, Fax, Celluar, and Pager need to be translatable.

Kat, this bug duplicates bug 31590. Can you verify it?

ray, if you think this is a dup can you resolve as such? Kat won't verify unless the bug is resolved. Thanks.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 31590 ***

Actually this bug is not a duplicate of Bug 31590. The items there are convered by: ..messenger:vcard.properties file but the items here are covered by: addressbook:addressBook.properties file. I'll now re-open this bug and mark it as an item to be verified for beta2-J.

There probably is no need to worry about this problem for now since a new adressBook.properties file now exists. At Beta 1, there was no such file and so the original bug was correct in that it was a hard-coded string bug. At some point recently, a new addressBook.properties file was added. So this bug now should remain open to verify that the translation does indeed work for these items.

PDT is going to mark this nsbeta2+ and fixed so that it goes onto the testing radar.

** Checked with 8/1/2000 Win32 build M17 with JPN Lang Pack ** Display Name, Nickname, Work, Home, Fax, Celluar, and Pager are now all translatable and come out Ok with the above build. Marking it verified as fixed.
