IdoCalendarMenuItem shows "%OY" instead of year number in Persian locale (fa)

[Masoud Abkenar]

Look at the screenshot. Instead of displaying the current year number, it displays %OY.

How to reproduce:
- Go to "Language support" in the system setting
- Change the Ubuntu interface language to Persian (fa).
- Log out and log back in.
- Click on the date time indicator on the top panel to open the calendar.
- Look at the current year which should be displayed above the calendar table, i.e. above "Mon" and "Sun".

What should happen:
- You should see there the year number, e.g. 2013, 2014, etc.

What happens:
- You see this string: "%OY"

I don't know where this bug is come from, but I presume this bug is not
actually related to translation, however if it is from translation
please guide me to it, I don't know where can I find it.

[Hossein Noroozpour (hossein-noroozpour)]

Oh! thank u! I think, I find it.

Masoud, is this repeatable for you when you test this?

[Arya (arya766)]

Just reviewed & edited the fa translation package. Must be ok now. Please reinstall the package & if the bug was still there, it wouldn't be a translation bug, & should be reported to Devs. Thank you.

I still see the same %OY in Trusty.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue is a gtk one, see https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/po/fa.po#n1670

The string to fix on launchpad is https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/gtk+3.0/+pots/gtk-3.0/fa/300/+translate

[Masoud Abkenar (mabkenar)]

Sebastien, thanks a lot for actually finding th string. Is the trivial replacement of %OY with %Y (as has been already suggested by one of the translators) enough to fix the issue?

I don't have permission to change the translation, although I believe I am a member of fa translation team.

[Pouyan (pouyan)]

I just approved the change. I think it will be added to new release.
regards Pouyan

Thank you Pouyan :)

yes, that's enough, the bug should be fixed with the next language pack update
