Deja-Dup not fully translated into Simplified Chinese

[Kent Baxley]

Version: deja-dup 20.0-0ubuntu3

Description: Deja-dup is not fully translated into Simplified Chinese. Many of the main buttons are still in English (see attached photo)

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install Ubuntu 11.10 using Simplified Chinese as the default language.
2) Start up deja-dup

Actual Results:
Deja Dup is not fully translated into Chinese...see attached photos. There are many parts that are translated, but the main 2 buttons to do backups and restores are still in English.

Expected results:
More translations need to be done on deja-dup.

[Kent Baxley (kentb)]

Example Photo...this was brought up by some users that were testing the Chinese environment on Ubuntu. Note that the backup button is not translated "Most recent Backup", "Folders to Back Up", etc are not translated.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Kent, I agree that the translation is not complete. It is something I would dearly love to see finished. But as an open source project, I can't afford to pay for a translation, so I'm depending upon the kindness of strangers.

To work on the translation, you can visit https://translations.launchpad.net/deja-dup/20 (upstream) or https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/deja-dup/+pots/deja-dup (ubuntu)

I'm going to mark this bug invalid, since it's a known problem, but not an engineering one. The progress of this bug is best tracked on that translation pages above.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Ken, please don't change the status without an explanation. Bugs aren't how translations are tracked, they are tracked through the translations page: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/deja-dup/+pots/deja-dup

Screenshot of what the initial setup screen looks like on a Chinese Desktop. The main two buttons not being translated is what is causing users to complain.

[Kent Baxley (kentb)]

Sorry, Michael. I didn't see your previous comments until now. My apologies.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

No worries!

Kent, I notice that you are a member of the OEM Services team? I believe the existing Simplified Chinese translation was commissioned by Kyle for an OEM project. But if you know any Chinese users that would be willing to help out, please point them to the translation pages! :)

[David Planella (dpm)]

Hi Kent,

In general it is best to file missing translations bugs against the ubuntu-translations project in Launchpad. You can either file them directly against it [1] or open an additional bug task (click on the "Also affects project" link) in an existing bug.

There it will be looked at and triaged by a community of volunteers knowledgeable in translations.

I get notified for any bugs in the ubuntu-translations project, but if the bug is time-critical for an OEM project, feel free to ping me or Kyle Nitzsche additionally.

Thanks!

Hello,

I have worked on the translations and now its completeness is over 90%, please check whether you need to push a translation update to solve this outstanding issue.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Aron, thank you so much!

Thanks a lot Aron!

No need to do any changes, these translations will be distributed to
users in the next language pack update. Here is the preliminary schedule
for these updates [1].

[Kyle Nitzsche (knitzsche)]

NOTE to Translators:
This project is translated in the launchpad upstream project: https://translations.launchpad.net/deja-dup/20/+lang/zh_CN

[Kyle Nitzsche (knitzsche)]

After translations of help and GUI are complete, the deja dup pkg needs to be uploaded to Ubuntu, therefore deja dup task > confirmed.

This should happen in time for the "Second language pack update cycle" here if at all possible: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/OneiricLanguagePackReleaseSchedule

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Please note that we got fresh language packs including help in oneiric-proposed yesterday.

[Kent Baxley (kentb)]

Latest updates look a lot better on deja-dup. On the backup settings window, everything appears to be translated now.

There appears to be one more thing left to translate, and it is one of the buttons on the initial setup screen (see attached photo)

That particular string is already translated in Launchpad:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/deja-dup/+pots/deja-dup/zh_CN/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=previous+backup

We recently released a new batch of language pack updates, but the
Simplified Chinese ones were not yet released, as they haven't been tested.

Could someone from the Simplified Chinese team or a Simplified Chinese
speaker at OEM:

* Test the language packs currently in the oneiric-proposed repository
following the simple instructions below. Remember to add the language to
the table.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/LanguagePackUpdatesQA

Once that is done, we can release the language pack to oneiric-updates
for all users, which will get this particular string and other
translations done since the last language pack update.

Thanks.

Finally I find some time to test the language packs. It looks fine. I
have signed that page so we can push the update to -updates.

While testing this update, I found onboard had an upstream release
bump via SRU, so many of the translations were lost. We should plan to
publish another update with new translations imported to language
packs.

Hello Kevin,

Please don't assign the oem task to Ubuntu Simplified Chinese Translators, reasons:
1) You should read the full conversation of this bug before doing any assignment.
2) (If you have read everything, then you will find) The bug has been fixed on translator's part, so this assignment is not appropriate.
3) OEM is not a very high priority item for the community contributors, and there is already a ubuntu-translations task for the team which we have already responded and acted.
4) Please don't flood the team members' mailboxes by simply clicking on the web interface because every of your action will result into an email sent to all members of the team.

Therefore I'm removing the assignment.

Thanks for your cooperation.

[James M. Leddy (jm-leddy)]

Kent,

Would you please check to see if this is fixed in the 12.04 images?

[Kent Baxley (kentb)]

James,

This looks good in 12.04. Everything from what I can tell looks to be translated into Simplified Chinese where it is supposed to be.

Thanks!

[Chris Van Hoof (vanhoof)]

Thanks Kent -- I have updated the tasks to reflect your feedback.
