This is the dialog window that appears when you try to run a Java Applet on Mac OS X 10.5.7 with the last Java update (I’m running Java 1.5.0_19 according to this test).
Take a look at the checkbox:
- In Italian it’s “l’accesso” (definite article+noun), not “laccesso”. The same error appears in the first label, so I suppose they have some difficulties dealing with apostrophes. This problem was already there before the Java update.
- Applet’s name and author are gone, replaced by {0} and {1} (this started with the last Java update).
Here’s my questions:
- Who is to blame for this window? Sun (as I suppose) or Apple? Sure it’s not Mozilla’s fault, since the same thing happens with Safari 4.
- Is this happening only with the Italian localization of OS X? Are other locales affected as well?
- How can we try to fix that, since someone will think for sure that this is our (Mozilla localizers) fault?

My guess would be Apple, same dialog looks considerably different on Windows: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3610/javascreenshot.png.
Granted, I am running Java 1.6.0_13 but I am pretty sure the dialog didn’t look much different in Java 1.5 either.
Thanks Wladimir, I’ve opened a bug on http://bugreport.apple.com/
Let’s see their answer
diamo laccesso ad una scuola a {0} e {1} ? ahah
