Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When i start evolution for the first time the configuration wizard comes up.
this wizard is to wide for my 1024x768 display. I cant see the whole window. I have to drag it to the right to see the information and then drag it to the left to reach the "Next" button.

It's possible to increase the size of the window but i cant make it smaller

Dominik: Are you using the german localization? If so, I think I've reported today a duplicate of this bug-report as bug #148530 with a solution for this problem. In that case it is not a duplicate of bug #8629, which is slightly different from this problem.

You can request the po-file from rosetta. Go to https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/evolution/+pots/evolution-2.12/de/+translate, and select download in actions-menu. You'll be prompted if you want to get a .mo or a .po file. Select the .po one, and you'll get a link a few minutes later by mail. Edit the file on the given position, the easiest way would be to install gtranslator, because it has a build-in compile-option. Compile the modified file, e.g. when using gtranlator you'll get an evolution.gmo file as output into your home-dircectory. Rename the file to evolution-2.12.mo. Copy this file into the /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES directory, when unsure, make a backup of the original file first to be able to restore your changes.
