The wireless and photo applications are not translated into Simplified Chinese in Ubuntu 11.10

[Kent Baxley]

In the installer, if the user chooses Simplified Chinese as their language, the steps that allow the user to connect to a wireless network and take their photo are not translated into Chinese. This may be confusing for those users that don't understand English. This also happens in the oem-config portions of the installer if the user was powering up the machine for the first time.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install Ubuntu 11.10. Ensure Simplified Chinese is used as the default language.

Actual Results:
The wireless and picture-taking steps are not fully translated into Chinese (see attached photos).

Expected Results:
These should be translated to Chinese.

The wireless tools translation was fixed by this commit:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/revision/5072

The other is still valid.

[David Planella (dpm)]

As Gabor is mentioning:

Wireless tools
--------------

- The dialog was made translatable in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/revision/5072
- The commit happened 1 day before release, and it seems translations were not included
- Some of the messages are translatable, and translated, some of them are not exposed in Launchpad for translation
  1. "I don't want to connect to a wi-fi network right now" - Translated [1]
  2. "Connect to this network" - Not exposed in Launchpad for translation
  3. "Password:" - Not exposed in Launchpad for translation
  4. "Display password" - Not exposed in Launchpad for translation

What needs to happen to fix this bug:
- Generate a new translation template (.pot file) for ubiquity-debconf, including messages 2, 3 and 4
- Let translators do their work
- Fetch translations from Launchpad and commit them to Ubiquity's Oneiric branch
- Prepare a new Ubiquity package with these translations and an SRU request for Oneiric
- Do the SRU

Picture dialog
--------------

Kent, Kevin. Thanks a lot for the detailed bug description and the screenshot. However, it makes it a lot easier to track bugs if a bug per issue is reported, rather than having a batch of i18n per bug. Would you mind filing a new bug for the picture-taking dialog's untranslatable strings?

In the meantime, for what I can see:

- None of the strings in this dialog are translatable and exposed in Launchpad

What needs to happen to fix this bug:
- Mark the strings as translatable in Ubiquity
- Generate a new translation template (.pot file) for ubiquity-debconf, including messages 2, 3 and 4
- Let translators do their work
- Fetch translations from Launchpad and commit them to Ubiquity's Oneiric branch
- Prepare a new Ubiquity package with these translations and an SRU request for Oneiric
- Do the SRU

Thanks!

gtkwidgets.py in ubiquity has:

"
        # TODO i18n
        l = Gtk.Label('Take a photo:')
...
        # TODO i18n
        l = Gtk.Label('Or choose an existing picture:')"

I'll just fix the webcam issue as part of this bug, although David is correct in general that it's better not to batch these things up.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.9.17

ubiquity (2.9.17) precise; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Don't display "Ready when you are..." when the installer isn't actually
    waiting for user actions.
  * When waiting for user actions, just hide the progress bar and associated
    widgets rather than displaying "Ready when you are...", to avoid
    confusion associated with a progress bar being displayed when the system
    is in fact waiting for user input (LP: #670409, #925427).
  * Mark file descriptors used for communication with parted_server
    FD_CLOEXEC.
  * Restore finish-install's title after installing the oem-config frontend
    (LP: #925155).
  * Avoid duplicate call to osextras.find_on_path('check-language-support').
  * Stop filtering warnings from the apt module which are no longer emitted.
  * PEP-8 import ordering.
  * Make the "Choose a picture" page translatable (LP: #892384).
  * Make the "run all pending GTK events" function accessible from
    ubiquity.gtkwidgets, and use it in the test suite. This makes the test
    suite about four seconds faster.
  * Fix sys.path mishandling in test suite.
  * Mark WPA2-only access points as secure.
  * Add initial tests for wireless page.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: choose-mirror 2.39ubuntu3,
    netcfg 1.68ubuntu11.

  * ubiquity/gtk_ui.py: in the crash handler also call apport directly if in
    the maybe-ubiquity mode (LP: #901381)
