typo: Translation of Space-Key in systemsettings/hotkeys wrong (German)

[Mark]

Wrong translation of the Spacekey in systemsettings/hotkeys (German). It is translated as Weltraum, instead of Leertaste. Screenshot see at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181080

Which version of Kubuntu are you using? According to Rosetta the correct translation should have been imported from the KDE translations, but may have missed Kubuntu 8.10: https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/kde4libs/+pots/kdelibs4/de/1543/+translate

Is this still an issue in Kubuntu 9.04?

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

According to neversfelde it still is. :(

[Christian Mangold (neversfelde)]

It is still translated as "Weltraum" in latest jaunty.

This is not a bug in Launchpad from my understanding. Maybe there are problems with translation domains in the install? I am not familiar with what they should be, but at least looking at 'strace' output from running the application should tell you what MO file an app is reading a translation from.

Still, that'd be for Ubuntu guys to fix.

[Ralf Jung (ralfjung-e)]

Why was this declared invalid? This string is (as far as I know) part of Qt, not of KDE, and correctly translated in http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/de/messages/qt/kdeqt.po?revision=951206&view=markup :
#: gui/kernel/qkeysequence.cpp:373
msgctxt "QShortcut"
msgid "Space"
msgstr "Leertaste"
So it obviously has to be fixed in Ubuntu.

Launchpad (Rosetta) is a web platform for software translation. The bug is in the actual translation. How and why is it wrong is not for Launchpad developers to fix, but for actual Launchpad users who manage German translation of Ubuntu.

[Ralf Jung (ralfjung-e)]

Thanks for the quick answer :)
But where do I have to report translation bugs then? It has to be some Ubuntu place if the bug really got introduced downstream. I thought Launchpad is the place to report bugs in Ubuntu, be it crashes or misbehaving applications, faulty dependencies - or translation problems. I didn't want to report a bug in Launchpad (i.e. problems with the bug reporting system itself), but in an Ubuntu packet.

[Данило Шеган (danilo)]

It's already reported against "language-pack-kde-de-base (Ubuntu)" (if you look at the actual bug page, you can see it's even "Confirmed"). So, no need to worry, it's being tracked. :)

It might be useful to have that information in bug notification emails as well, though.

[Ralf Jung (ralfjung-e)]

I *did* look at the bug page (how else could I post comments?), and next to it being "confirmed", I saw it is also marked as "invalid", which meant to me it somehow did not get accepted as valid problem. Now I see that this is actually the status against two different packets - something I am not used to as all bug systems I used so far (mainly Bugzilla) have just one state for the bug as a whole,not one state per affected packet.

Thanks a lot for clarification! Next time I report something here I'll know :)

[Mark (mark-wege)]

The bug is stil present in Jaunty.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Is this bug still an issue in 9.10? There was a bug fixed for shortcut translations in application menus, so this may be fixed as well.

[Ralf Jung (ralfjung-e)]

No, with Kubuntu 9.10, it's fixed :)
