Ubiquity nb-no translation error

[Alexander Vinbæk Strand]

In the screenshot you can see the word DVD-ever but this is wrong. The right word is DVD-er (means DVD's on Norwegian)

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I can confirm this issue based on your screenshot. I've tracked down the translation in question and corrected it (https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/+source/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/+pots/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu-gnome/nb/20/+translate). The only question now which I don't know is whether there will be a new release with updated translations before the final release...

Thanks for spotting this. Feel free to stop by #ubuntu-no on irc if you're not there already. ;)

Thanks Alexander,

I'm about to test the daily images, so I'll confirm or triage shortly.

What's happening with this bug?

It's still wrong on the Ubuntu GNOME installer..

> What's happening with this bug?

Correcting the translation here on Launchpad was step one. I'm not super-familiar with the process, but when a new version of the package is uploaded, the latest translation changes are also included. I believe this happen from time to time, but would assume at least once per release cycle. As noted in you screenshot, this didn't seem to have happened in xenial (yet). So the missing step was that the translation hadn't been included.

I did some digging and found bug 1569232, which updated the translations and pushed a new version of the slideshow package. This was done in version 111, and the final version in Ubuntu 16.04 is 113 so it should be included.

I tested in a vm with an Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 image and took the attached screenshot which contains the corrected translation, alongside any other translation changes. So from what I can see this issue has been resolved in 16.04.

PS. Judging by the other bug report, it looks like translations for these packages should be updated from time to time. I'm afraid I don't know who to contact in cases where it doesn't happen.
