Keyboard indicator translations are not shipped

[Igor Zubarev]

The keyboard indicator is completely to several languages on the upstream project at https://translations.launchpad.net/indicator-keyboard/trunk

However, these translations are not being shipped as we need the source package to generate a .pot file that is imported into Launchpad to include the translations in the language packs.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

The language indicator is indicator-keyboard and is new in saucy.

[William Hua (attente)]

Yes, indicator-keyboard currently has few translations. Please feel free to contribute translations here: https://translations.launchpad.net/indicator-keyboard/trunk.

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

But why isn't this package available for translation under launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy as all the other packages?

[David Planella (dpm)]

It seems that while the upstream package is set up for translations, the source package at https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/indicator-keyboard isn't. This is due to the package not generating a .pot file during build.

William,

- Could you look into getting the package to generate a .pot file as the rest of the desktop packages? seb128 should be able to point out to how it's done.
- Could you set the export branch to the trunk branch in https://translations.launchpad.net/indicator-keyboard/trunk/+translations-settings ?

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm a bit confused, but how is it possible that the .pot file isn't being built? If that were the case, wouldn't we be unable to upload translations in the first place?

[William Hua (attente)]

Ok, I've enabled the export branch to point to the indicator-keyboard trunk. For the .pot file, it seems to already be generated on build. The .pot file doesn't need to exist in the final package for the translations to work, right?

[David Planella (dpm)]

Thanks William,

that's correct, the package does not need to ship a .pot file, it just
needs to have the rule to build it (is it dh_translations?). Then I think
it's pkgbinarymangler that then creates the translations tarball, which is
ultimately imported into Launchpad.

However, either this is not working or the rule to create the .pot file on
build is not working or not being called.

You can test this locally building the package and enabling
pkgbinarymangler to strip translations to see if the translations tarball
is being created and if it contains a .pot file.

If that works, next time you do an upload you should see the .pot file
listed here:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/indicator-keyboard/+imports

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
David.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue is again https://bugs.launchpad.net/langpack-o-matic/+bug/1201485 (which is fix commited, needs to be deployed)

I did a manual upload of the indicator to workaround it

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-keyboard - 0.0.0+13.10.20130924.2-0ubuntu3

---------------
indicator-keyboard (0.0.0+13.10.20130924.2-0ubuntu3) saucy; urgency=low

  * Updated POTFILES.skip, seems to be required as well.
