I tested gcalctool 5.32.0-0ubuntu3. When I launch it from terminal:

saeol@saeol-laptop:~$ gcalctool

(process:11105): Gtk-CRITICAL **: set_table: assertion `buffer->tag_table == NULL' failed
saeol@saeol-laptop:~$

and calc launch GUI normally (as i can see). Shall i upload new backtrace and other dbg files, or that message normal ?

I see a translation in rosetta of this app. Some strings translated... like that:

eng string: foo '%s' foo2
ru translation : rufoo "%s" rufoo2

Maybe that can cause errors?

P.S. i write a new version of translation
P.P.S. IMHO

zh_CN.png Edit (24.9 KiB, image/png)

This patch will make zh_CN locale not working, all numeric keys will be shown translated, so calculation cannot be performed.

Screenshot attached.

Confirm 5.32.0-0ubuntu4 won't cause problem in zh_CN locale, still need someone to verify if ru locale's crash still exist.
