Untranslateable strings in systemsettings

[Jannick Kuhr]

Binary package hint: kde-systemsettings

kde-systemsettings in Feisty has two menu buttons called "General" and "Advanced". Both appear in english although kde-systemsettings is already completly translated. Probably these two strings located in [1] are just not ready for i18n.

It would be nice to see this issue fixed, since it should not be very difficult :)

Since this issue persists in Gutsy, I contacted Ben Meyer - who is the maintainer of kde-systemsettings in the "About" dialog - but he told me that he doesn't maintain kde-systemsettings anymore. Do we know if there is someone else working on kde-systemsettings? Could we fix this issue ourself?

It should not be difficult to fix it and would make the app look much more professional.

Cheers, Jannick

I can confirm this bug. I'm unable to find the strings in .po files (it should be &Advanced an &General) and all the strings located in system-settings.menu are untranslated on my Gutsy. I think there's also some i18n issues in kde-guidance..

I am constantly bugging Jonathan (Riddell) about it , he has it in his TODO. He's a busy man, though - I cannot promise when it will get fixed.

Hmm, when I checked this the last time the strings had been in the systemsettings.po file. But I can check this once again.

OT:
Perhaps it would be resonable to file some kind of Kubuntu-i18n Meta-Bug (if launchpad supports this). Without being nasty I have to confess that probably all programs created by Kubuntu itself are affected from more or less severe i18n issues.

I know about:
- Adept
- Guidance
- Software Properties (as part of Guidance)
- Restricted Manager (no i18n at all on kde)
- Apport (same as Restriced Manager)
- Systemsettings
- Knetworkmanager (some untranslateable extension)

Ought to be fixed through the inclusion in official KDE.

Jannick, about that meta bug:
0) no clue how valid this issues still are
1) you can use "also affects distribution" to make the bug affect more than one package
2) if you file one please assign it directly to me so I can take the appropriate actions
