Bug Description

When I run exaile in zh_CN locale, many strings in UI are still in English, but the files on launchpad are obviously translated.
I did some check and found that your PO template are lacking the underscores, for example "_Collection" in Edit menu are reflected to "Collection" in PO template, so the translations won't make sense for end users. I hope you can check and fix this so that translators' work can take effect.

Cannot confirm this. Your example: https://translations.launchpad.net/exaile/0.3.x/+pots/exaile/zh_CN/342/+translate
As you can see, there is a underscore.

Oh, this example is not suitable perhaps, but I attached a screenshot for my exaile installed from PPA.

This is shoot when I run it with zh_CN locale, with some strings translated but preference totally not.

I can confirm that. The preferences window is not properly translated, even
with a full locale, on a Xubuntu 9.10 system with Exaile 0.3.0.1 installed.

Still cannot confirm. Admittedly some strings are not translated simply because they are not. But some are "Use alpha transparency (if supported)" for example is not displayed in Chinese even though there is a translation. Odd.

Aside from that the preferences dialog is almost fully translated if I launch Exaile in a Chinese environment.

But I really have no other idea about how to let you know the fact on my system, I am running Exaile of the version in Karmic repository, I see it is the same as in exaile-developers' PPA. They are not localized truly.

Mathias, are translations working for German?

Everything fine for me. But I should mention that I am running Exaile directly from trunk and thus needed to explicitely point both gettext as well as gtk.glade to the local po directory.

hasn't changed.
