aptdaemon needs translations export from Launchpad

[Andrej Znidarsic]

Hello !

When in software center or update manager one tries to authenticate, he is presented with the following dialog window:

As you can see the bold text in not translated. After discussion on #ubuntu-translations it seems that the .policy files have not been exported. The image above is for the slovenian language.

I just encountered this bug. Is there a work around or a fix yet?

Thanks.

I'm attaching the exported translations from Launchpad, so that it is easier to fix this bug an make an SRU.

If anyone would like to have a go at creating a package including these translations for an SRU, here's the general procedure:

Also note that addressing bug 663150 might save us from these situations in the future.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

For some reason I can not "nominate for release", launchpad OOPSes if I click on that.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted aptdaemon into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Is that version 0.31+bzr50?
I installed it a few minutes ago, but the string "To install or remove software, you need to authenticate." is still in English within Traditional Chinese after reboot.

We have translated it on 2010-08-26. Maybe the translation has not updated.

[Andrej Znidarsic (andrejznidarsic)]

Hello !
I have tested 0.31+bzr506-0ubuntu4 and the string in question is now correctly translated into Slovenian.
Thanks !

[Cheng-Chia Tseng (zerng07)]

I attach a screenshot which shows 0.31+bzr506-0ubuntu4 installed but the string is still English.

[Gabor Kelemen (kelemeng)]

The new version works for me too.

Hi Cheng-Chia Tseng,

Is this still a problem?

Looking at the PO file included in the package, it seems that the string
is indeed translated, so it should show up translated in the interface
as well:

#: ../data/org.debian.apt.policy.in.h:24
msgid "To install or remove software, you need to authenticate."
msgstr "若要安裝或移除軟體，您需要通過認證。"

If that is the case, would you mind changing the status to "Fix
Released"?

Thanks!

[Cheng-Chia Tseng (zerng07)]

I also used msgunfmt to convert the aptdaemon.mo in /usr/share/locale-langpack/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES to do a recheck, the string has TRANSLATED indeed while it still shows the English string. Quite odd, though.

[Gabor Kelemen (kelemeng)]

I just installed Chinese locale, and tried to install something from software-center, and I see the problem too - while it works in Hungarian!

Attached is a screenshot of the problem, with the result of:
$ grep -A30 "To install or remove software" /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.debian.apt.policy
(at least the end of it) - seems that the string is translated for all three Chinese locale.

Thanks Gabor and Cheng-Chia Tseng for the testing.

So it seems that translations were correctly exported, but are not
loaded for Traditional Chinese.

In any case, that confirms at least that we can close this bug, which
was concerned with exporting the translations from Launchpad, which
seems to have happened - although translations for Traditional Chinese
are not loaded.

Cheng-Chia Tseng, would you mind opening a separate bug for that and
adding a comment with a link to it, so we can follow it up?

Thanks!

@ Gabor Kelemen: Would you kindly do me a favor to file another bug for Chinese locale? I am being busy lately (a examination hosted next week on my school), though I will file another bug some days later after that.
