My Favourite Internationalisation/Localisation Muddle-Bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50595

If you can sort out which are internationalisation problems and
which are localisation problems, you are doing well :) 

Seriously, it's an amazing tangle. The easy bit is that a string
not marked for translation is definitely an i18n bug. Despite the
huge list of "what it would be in our locale", I -think- it's all
an internationalisation bug.

Long ago, when we moved everything to bugzilla, there was a
bug against evolution about "You have translated this word this
way. That is only correct in Mexican Spanish. The word in Castilian
Spanish is different." That's a localisation bug. 

(And can I find that one...? No, of course not.)
