There are square with cross all over instead (menu too) of Polish diacritical characters (most of them, the same character may be displayed correctly and wrong). Easiest is to show it - screenshot http://i.imgur.com/lcsaz.png

Tested it on two independent machines, this one with pure Squeeze and KDE (there is a few packages from testing/unstable like Warsow and flash, that's all), and another, with more mixed system and LXDE and it looks the same on both. Version from testing/unstable (0.7.0-1) has the same bug.

$ locale

LC_CTYPE="pl_PL"

I was told that it looks fine on Ubuntu (version unknown), if it helps anyway.

Hello Pawel:

Thanks for reporting this issue. The developer can't be sure
if it's a Virtaal or a glade bug affecting non-utf8 locales (so
far, seems a glade one).

We've tried pl_PL with iso-8859-2 and utf8, and the former
shows your issue. A temporary workaround could be to install
pl_PL.UTF8 with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" and run
Virtaal with "LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8" (or change to UTF-8).

BTW, my "locale" output shows pl_PL.UTF-8, and not just pl_PL as is your
case.

Can you confirm non-utf8 is the problem? Feel free to drop by
#pootle in irc.freenode.net.

Regards

On IRC original reporter informs that the problems appears
with ISO encoding.

Running "LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 virtaal" shows the correctly
translated interface.
