Hi all,
I'd like to raise your attention to a possibly ambiguous translation in system-config-date, namely the "Pacific/Easter" timezone which means the "Easter Island" (and not "Easter" the holiday ;-)). I've fuzzied the translation so people would check it but found that some only unfuzzied it immediately ;-).
For background, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237930
Thanks for your attention on this. If you have questions, please copy me directly as I don't subscribe this list.
Thanks again, Nils

Thanks for bringing this up Nils.
One more question: as this will typically be translated as more than one word, should there be an underscore between them instead of space like in most other similar strings?

that doesn't matter now, as any underscores will be removed anyway before a timezone is displayed. At some point in the future the original timezone names will have their underscores removed, so using spaces seems the best way to me.
Ciao, Nils
