When attempting to send messages to other tiki users whilst working in french locale, the messu-compose.tpl script hangs.
The problem is due to the different interpretation of commas and semicolons on french and english locales. The call to the quickhint (popup help) feature hardcodes the commas and semicolons, and this frustrates the french locale.
The solution is simple.
In the source file messu-compose.tpl, change the lines 37, 48 and 57 top the following:
{help url="Inter-User+Messages#Composing_messages" desc="{tr}To:{/tr}{tr}Multiple addresses can be separated with semicolons (\"&**#59;\"){/tr} {tr}or commas (\"&**#44;\"){/tr}"}
{help url="Inter-User+Messages#Composing_messages" desc="{tr}CC:{/tr}{tr}Multiple addresses can be separated with semicolons (\"&**#59;\"){/tr} {tr}or commas (\"&**#44;\"){/tr}"}
{help url="Inter-User+Messages#Composing_messages" desc="{tr}BCC:{/tr}{tr}Multiple addresses can be separated with semicolons (\"&**#59;\"){/tr} {tr}or commas (\"&**#44;\"){/tr}"}
Please remove the double stars (**) I have inserted. They are there to block the page from converting the html escapes back to plain commas and semicolons.
Once the template uses the escapes rather than direct commas and semicolons the page works fine for both english and french locales. Have not tested on others.
