Another popup weirdness: when I click on copy or select all, the dialog keeps opened. In other apps, it closes.

The action labels are translated with i18n.dtr('ubuntu-ui-toolkit', "…") (see https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/Ubuntu/Web/UbuntuWebView02.qml#L174).
I wonder why the translations from the UITK are not being picked up correctly.

This is bug #1556764.

This is not just the text selection in the browser, the selection actions in QML TextFields are also untranslated. This suggests the issue is in the toolkit.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

On my device, the following command has an empty output:

    phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/usr/share$ find . -name ubuntu-ui-toolkit.mo

so it looks like the UITK isn’t installing its translations any longer, that would be a recent regression.

[Víctor R. Ruiz (vrruiz)]

Right, I saw over the weekend that other apps have the same problem.

Found the issue and working on a fix. As per my #ubuntu-touch discussion with pitti, it seems that the pkg domains in langpack-o-matic are handled invalidly. The reason it worked before (for ubuntu-ui-toolkit) was actually because of the earlier bug with merging tarballs. When we didn't merge the mapping files properly in the past, there was only one domain in the pkg_domain variable - the ubuntu-ui-toolkit. Now that there's more than one (since ubuntu-ui-toolkit has ubuntu-ui-toolkit and ubuntu-ui-toolkit-gallery), l-o-m actually only takes the last one it finds into consideration (so ubuntu-ui-toolkit-gallery).

With this fix (and using the new potemplate stats) we should get much more translations than before.
