"Extract" Italian mistranslation

[Xargon]

Ubuntu 23.04, when right clicking on an archive the entry "Extract" is translated as "Estratto", but it's wrong, "Estratto" means that is already extracted, and not that I want to command to extract it.

A proper translation should be "Estrai".

However personally I would translate it as "Estrai qui" (Extract here), otherwise, with "Estrai" I expect that a popup asking me a path will appear as there is no location specified.

"Estrai", yes, but where?

I would have guessed it's this string:

but the Italian translation has been "Estrai" since 2021.

From where do you right click?

Here is it

Which file manager tool do you use? I can't see that in your screenshot.

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Please run these commands in terminal, and let us know the result:

echo $(LANGUAGE=it gettext -d nautilus 'Extract')
echo $(LANGUAGE=it gettext -d nautilus 'Extract to…')

[Xargon (xargonwan)]

Weird...

echo $(LANGUAGE=it gettext -d nautilus 'Extract')
echo $(LANGUAGE=it gettext -d nautilus 'Extract to…')
Estrai
Estrai in…

BONUS:
echo $(LANGUAGE=it gettext -d nautilus 'Estratto')
Estratto

So are you using something else but nautilus?

That's pointless. gettext only translates original (English) strings.

[Xargon (xargonwan)]

No, it's the default "File" or "Nautilus" that is shipped with Ubuntu 23.04.

Moreover I found another mistranslation: "Aperto con..." should be "Apri con..." ("Open with...").

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Ok, I figured it out. Important to use the exact original strings...

$ echo $(LANGUAGE=it gettext -d nautilus '_Extract')
_Estratto
$ echo $(LANGUAGE=it gettext -d nautilus 'Open _With…')
Aperto _con…

But both those translations have already been corrected in the 23.10 development version:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/mantic/+source/nautilus/+pots/nautilus/it?search=_Extract

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/mantic/+source/nautilus/+pots/nautilus/it?search=Open+_With

And the issue isn't important enough for a stable release update of 23.04. So I closed this bug as "Fix Released".

Thanks for your efforts, when is 23.10 due date?
