dolphin.mo is not distributed in langpacks

[Laur Mõtus]

Binary package hint: dolphin

d3lphin in mostly translated to Estonian both upstream and the translations are also in Launchpad, but the translations are not actually distributed: dolphin.mo is missing in langpacks.

[Laur Mõtus (vprints)]

The translations are also just fine in feisty(i just didn't know before that there dolphin was included there).
So, it is a Gutsy problem.

Thanks for your bug report.
Not a ubuntu-meta problem, reassigning to language-pack-kde-et-base
Confirming that the problem is present for other languages too.
Since dolphin is a package in main, the mo file should be in language-pack-kde-<lang>-base

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

In Feisty the package was in universe and included the mo file itself.

The most likely reason is that dolphin does neither ship nor build a .pot file, so that LP cannot import the translations. Once that's done, they'll get to the langpacks automatically during the monthly updates (and the daily builds in the PPA).

Is this issue still valid for 8.10 RC or later?

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

In Intrepid Dolphin .pot files are imported as part of kdebase, so they are distributed. The quality may be not so good due to Rosetta bugs, but this bug is no longer applicable.
