compiz core & plugins not localized

[kawaji]

Binary package hint: compiz-core

Packages : compiz-core & compiz-plugins (1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6)

a core.xml file and .xml files included in the compiz-plugins package don't have translations for english strings.
therefore not localized on CCSM.

I found another user had reported the same problem on 19th March.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compizconfig-settings-manager/+bug/203853
but, have not been addressed at all.

I hope the maintainer of compiz-core & compiz-plugins packages notice this issue.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply.

compiz-core & compiz-plugins deb packages for Intrepid and Jaunty (0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1 / 0.7.8-0ubuntu9) still have the same problem.

translations are missing from XML files included in those binary packages ( i.e. core.xml , annotate.xml , fade.xml ,move.xml, rotate.xml.....etc.).
because almost all msgid & msgstr lines in .po files of their source packages are marked as obsolete.

Compiz-Config-Settings-Manager(CCSM) only displays contents of those xml.files.

translations in .po files are wiritten into **.xml.in files when you compile source files to make a binary package.

BTW, openSUSE 11.0 & 11.1 RC1 had the same problem, and I reported it to Jigish Gohil a.k.a. CyberOrg.
He made a patch to fix it for compiz packages in openSUSE 11.1 and 11.1 was released with fully localized compiz.
http://bugs.opencompositing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1081#c2
http://bugs.opencompositing.org/attachment.cgi?id=561&action=edit
the patch is just to unmark obsoleted lines in .po files.

Hi,

I have updated compiz from official repository of jaunty jackalope,
and found the problem was fixed with compiz-plugins 0.7.9+git20090211-0ubuntu4.

Thank you,

Thank you very much for your testing effort, kawaji. I am closing this bug due to your last comment regarding this being fixed in Jaunty. If you think the package from Jaunty should be backported to Intrepid follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages. Thanks again.
