Description:
Evolution crashes with this error: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_internal: assertion `!(flags & G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME) || is_canonical (name)' failed. When started with LC_ALL=C, all seems to work ok. My system locale is set to Polish. The bug is mentioned in this forum thread:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1263148. Also gnome online accounts are affected by this - when adding account with Google, Facebook or Windows Live, it crashes.

evolution version 3.8.1-1
gnome-online-accounts 3.8.1-1


Steps to reproduce:
Set locale to polish
In online accounts click add, choose Google/start evolution
This task depends upon

The bug is in webkitgtk3, not Evolution.

Temporary fix: su -c 'rm -f /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/WebKitGTK-3.0.mo'

Permanent fix: Stab the face of whoever authored the 386th line of Source/WebKit/gtk/webkit/webkitviewportattributes.cpp in WebKit source code. (It erroneously marks a string for translation, which the overzealous and unsuspecting translator picked up.)

Oh, just noticed they also earned it for the 406th line in the same file. (Same problem.) Wonder if there is more.

Nice catch. property names should not get translated yes. Seems those two lines are the only ones that suffer this problem.

This bug has been there since the beginning, it was just waiting for someone to translate it and trigger the bug...
