Some strings in effects/adjustments not translatable

[Hendrik Schrieber]

The following strings are not translatable:

"Open images"
"Hue"
"Saturation"
"Lightness"

The last three are shown when clicking on »Hue/Saturation« in menu »Adjustments«.

Which version of Pinta are you using? There is no longer a string for "Open Images".

In addition to the saturation dialog, I went through all of the effects and found missing strings for:
- the Polar Inversion effect (Reflect/Warp/etc)
- blend modes for the Clouds effect
- Red/Green/Blue in the Posterize dialog

Just making a note of this for later - I think we could do a much better job with adding translations for effects and adjustments to messages.pot. Currently, the SimpleEffectDialog class does some magic to generate a user-friendly string from the EffectData property names (and for enum types). As a result, automated tools (such as our "make updatepot" command) don't recognize those strings as translatable, and we currently add them manually to po/messages.in. Since that file can easily get out of date, we run into issues like this one.

I think we should use the Caption attribute for all of the EffectData properties, and we could then modify the Makefile to automatically recognize those strings as translatable using the --keyword argument to xgettext (http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gettext/manual/html_node/xgettext-Invocation.html). We could probably have some similar attribute for enums to specify the strings as well.

I am using Version 1.1.1 in Ubuntu Precise which is a bit outdated.

The OpenImages-Widget is still in the source (trunk) though and this string is the title of that widget in 1.1.1.

@hennekn, string "Open Images" existed in Pinta 1.1 and was changed into "Images" in Pinta 1.2 after the following debate in reported bug 886512.

Also Pinta 1.1 was quite buggy. I suggest to upgrade Pinta to currently the latest stable version 1.4 by adding Pinta stable PPA. In Terminal type in bellow commands to upgrade:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

P.S. Pinta 1.5 stable is approaching in few days/weeks. This PPA will get updated with new 1.5 version when it is available.

Today I noticed that: "Hue", "Saturation" and "Lightness" are not translated from »Adjustments« menu »Hue/Saturation« and for my language 100% strings are translated. Searched the Launchpad and this three settings are really missing. Can you please add this settings.

I tried this on Pinta 1.5 on Ubuntu 14.04 installed from official stable PPA.

I've made some partial progress (https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/commit/311497c5430f1c754210237444e2440623752e76), so strings like Hue, Saturation, and Lightness are now translatable.

The only remaining issues I'm aware of are the combo boxes that appear for the Polar Inversion and Clouds effects
