Untranslated items in Bazaar Explorer coming from QBzr and Bazaar itself

[Dedeco]

Using Portuguese translated interface (but the chosen language does not interfere with the problem), I have seen a few different places with english strings. I could not find them all again, but one big example is:

The button "All", for running arbitrary bazaar commands, opens a dialog wich is almost completelly untranslated (untranslateable?). Further, the help for the commands are also untranslated.

I could not find these strings in https://translations.launchpad.net/bzr-explorer..., and neither where I should look for them. An user who tries to follow the menu "Help -> Translate this program" cannot do it!

There are several problems:

* Help comes from bzr itself, not from Bazaar Explorer. We should load translated strings from bzr itself on startup now, as bzr has its own support for i18n internally. But that will require explorer to check that bzr itself has corresponding support. Not a big deal, just one additional check for it.

* Explorer uses QBzr dialogs to do most of the dirty work, so you need to have translation files available for QBzr as well.

* Help -> Translate program corresponds to the main Explorer window, but there are also translatable strings in QBzr project, and in bzr itself. You can find those translatable strings at https://translations.launchpad.net/qbzr and https://translations.launchpad.net/bzr correspondingly.

And the last, please show me screenshot of All commands dialog as you can see it so I can understand what do you mean by "a dialog wich is almost completelly untranslated (untranslateable?)."

I could guess that bazzar explorer would "inherit" some strings from others. But I think a better solution for the "Help -> Translate this" could be made, so the average user who just wants to give a better translation to some strings he just passed by, can do it more easily.

Attached screenshot, with untranslated things in red.

(by "accident", I caught a few more outside the dialog...)

Also you can check whether you have translations for commands dialog, by
launching it directly from command line with following command:

bzr qrun

If you see the interface translated differently than if you click on All
commands, I'd like to see screenshots.

Right, on your screenshot all strings in English come from QBzr.

OK, I've checked on my computer, and I can confirm all those strings are not translated to Portuguese in QBzr project. You may want to translate them. Some of them are translated to pt_BR though, but not to pure pt.

$ bzr qrun

Opens the same dialog.

The facts that

- bzr-explorer is fully translated (~471 strings)

(except for ONE missing string: "Parent delta" from lib/view_workingtree.py:58 lib/view_workingtree.py:61, and I don't know what this is; I wanted to, so I could translate it to make the 100% :) )

- qbzr is barely 25% translated (from ~578 strings)

- bzr is 17% translated (from ~2343 strings)

would not make someone change the destiny of those who click on "Help -> Translate this program"?

Maybe there can be a note or a link on https://translations.launchpad.net/bzr-explorer to point to bzr and qbzr translations. Or another option...

I will translate some strings, but with a slow pace. And I am not too much familiar with bazaar or version control systems.
