Keyboard shortcuts in KDE menus (File, Edit, View, etc) untranslated

[Jonathan Thomas]

Binary package hint: language-pack-kde-es-base

This is with today's langpack updates. (Things in general are looking much better now, btw)

However, in any KDE application, the keyboard shortcuts in the various menu items of the application's menubar are untranslated.

For example, in Dolphin, go to the Ayuda menu. The "Que es esto?" menu item shows the menu shortcut in English. (Shift+F1)

For the record, these strings all appear as translated in the kdelibs4 po template from kde4libs.

[David Planella (dpm)]

They are also properly imported and exported from Launchpad and present in the mo file installed from language-pack-kde-ca (e.g. the "Shift" translation):

$ msgunfmt /usr/share/locale-langpack/ca/LC_MESSAGES/kdelibs4.mo | grep -C 2 '"Shift"'

msgctxt "keyboard-key-name"
msgid "Shift"
msgstr "Maj"

Could it be that somehow the msgctxt doesn't get picked up?

In actuality the translations for these items come from Qt itself, as they are standard Qt shortcut items.
Up until the other day our qt4-x11 wasn't generating translation templates for Qt at all. Harald Sitter fixed the package to generate the translation templates: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/4.5.2-0ubuntu6

I suppose this should be fixed next language-pack generation, as long as the template is approved and the upstream translations iare mported properly?

The pot is in the translation queue: https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/qt4-x11/+imports

Hi Jonathan, pot file in queue approved.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Thanks a bunch! :)
It looks like everything went ok: https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/qt4-x11/+pots/kdeqt/
Things should be fixed next lang-pack generation, then.

kdeqt.po only fixed a few shortcuts. I guess it only provides translations for Qt-standard shortcuts. But it still stands that these *should* be translated in kdelibs4.po...

Hmm, now it's all good. :)
