Banshee shows untranslated due to an wrongly-named .mo file

[Ricardo Pérez López]

Banshee shows fully untranslated in my Spanish Natty because the compiled-translations .mo file is called "banshee-1.mo" instead of "banshee.mo". To resolve this issue, I simply do:

  $ sudo mv /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/banshee-1.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/banshee.mo

I don't know if this is a Launchpad Translations related bug or a Banshee bug, but it's a rather big translations issue with a fairly easy fix.

Reproduced in Japanese.

$ find /usr/share/locale-langpack/ -name banshee*
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_CA/LC_MESSAGES/banshee-1.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_AU/LC_MESSAGES/banshee-1.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/ja/LC_MESSAGES/banshee-1.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/banshee-1.mo

And worked to rename from "banshee-1.mo" to "banshee.mo".

Also Banshee fully untranslated in Russian in Natty.

The same situation for Transmission fully untranslated in Russian Natty. See bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/760083

Thanks Ricardo for the heads up.

Yes, I can confirm this. What happened was that Banshee used to use the
banshee-1 translation domain, and the banshee-1.mo file was shipped in
language packs accordingly.

However, at some point the domain in banshee changed from banshee-1 to
banshee. I just noticed it last week and I changed it in Launchpad, so
that the next language pack after beta-2 contains banshee.mo

Regards,
David.

On Natty Beta 2 with fresh updates, Banshee 2.0 appears completely untranslated (I'm using French). So this report should not be marked as invalid.

[Bertrand Lorentz (bertrand-lorentz)]

mlaverdiere,
This report is marked invalid for the banshee package because the problem wasn't in that package, but in the language pack which is a separate package.
That's why it's also marked as affecting "Ubuntu Translations" and is fixed there.

Hi, the fix will be released once a new language pack is available, please be a bit more patient, it will come before the final release.

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

I can confirm this issue is now fixed for Spanish with the latest updates. Thanks!

[Oier Mees (oier)]

In basque the issue persists, eventhough I just runned update-manager.

[Oier Mees (oier)]

it works since yesterdays updates, many thanks!
