Inconsistent/wrong characters in romanian translation
We share content files, such as localized text, across all platforms so if we make this change it will affect Windows also. We'll need to update all functions that read the files with a Linux-only piece of code to apply the remapping at load time.
Personally, I see no reason not to make this change across all platforms. Basically, comma below is correct, cedilla below is incorrect. Right now there is a mixture of the two, depending on whether the translator was using Win XP or not when translating the string.
The only problem would be that Windows XP does not have the comma below characters in the default Microsoft fonts, but I don't think this in an issue if Steam provides it's own fonts, or installs the font-update/fix provided by Microsoft:

@gdrewb-valve: Microsoft fixed this back in december 2006 ( updated in 2007 ) for Windows XP SP2 and above so Valve has more reasons to do the right thing.
This is what Wikipedia sais on this issue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_alphabet#Comma-below_.28.C8.99_and_.C8.9B.29_versus_cedilla_.28.C5.9F_and_.C5.A3.29
Any update on this?
Latest beta is missing a font or something.
That's Ă, Ț, Ș and Ț.
Also what's up with the cutoff A in Community?
Fixed (except the cut A) in beta March 4. Yay :)
Nothing extracted yet.
Romanian translation is filled with şŞ, instead of șțȘȚ. This is due to an older mess-up on Microsoft's part regarding the romanian keyboard layout. This character bug is non-existent on Linux, and makes Steam stand out.
It could easily be fixed by automatically replacing all cedilla below diacritics with comma below characters. It also makes sense, as no one in the translation team is willing to replace all characters by hand.
