Subject: [BUG][e2fsprogs] e2fsck: e2fsck reports ext3 message when checking ext4 filesystem

Hi,

I use "e2fsck" to repair the damaged ext4 device.

The message was followings.

------
# ./e2fsck /dev/sdb3
e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
Superblock has an invalid ext3 journal (inode 8).
Clear<y>?
---

Why e2fsck tells me "ext3"? It looks the message was wrong
or e2fsck doesn't recognize ext4 correctly.

Thanks！
Miao Xie

Because it is hardcoded :-(

#. @-expanded: superblock has an invalid ext3 journal (inode %i).\n

#, c-format

I see.
I think e2fsck should tell the correct information, so
this problem must be fixed.

Thanks.

someone submitted a patch to fix this bug. I tested it and the test was pass.
But I found the translation is not updated.

Thanks!
