The FontDemo's "System name" translation is still missing.

[dsjonny]

The mailbox's menu's on the Deskbar's self has missing translations: the "Open Drafts", "Open Inbox Folder" and the "Open Mail Folder". Please correct it.

[humdinger]

Fixed FontDemo's "System name" (comment:10)

[dsjonny]

FontDemo: added a patch for system name correction. Tested, works fine (maybe it need to recreate the catalogs).

[humdinger]

Applied patch to FontDemo Jamfile with hrev45139. Thanks!

[diver]

I think this one can be closed now as most of the bugs are fixed.

[diver]

Most of the tickets here are fixed, the rest (and new ones) can be found using localization keyword.

Assign fix to milestone:R1/beta3, as it looks like this fix will be part of that release.

As we started with the previous beta, we would like to use the Milestone field for fixed tickets to log from which release the improvement will be out. Therefore it is very much appreciated to assign the milestone when closing a ticket as fixed.
