Date format isn't good

[Olivier Febwin]

Date format isn't good in date indicator whereas the translation format is good https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/zesty/+source/indicator-datetime/+pots/indicator-datetime/fr/1/+translate

In french, it should be displayed "mer. 19 avril" ; not "mer. avril 19"

I think it miss this translation witch was present on xenial: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/indicator-datetime/+pots/indicator-datetime/fr/5/+translate

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I see now that this issue is true for Swedish as well, so the issue is not specific to French. Can it be that the translation template for indicator-datetime needs to be updated?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

In Xenial the translation template has 33 items, and in Zesty it only has 13. I suspect that this bug was caused by this commit:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-datetime/trunk.16.10/revision/476

The missing translation, which Olivier mentioned in the bug description, is a string in the file formatter-desktop.cpp. However, no strings from that file is included in the Zesty translation template.

The file po/POTFILES.in, which was dropped through the commit, looked like this:

src/formatter.cpp
src/formatter-desktop.cpp
src/menu.cpp
src/snap.cpp
src/utils.c

The Zesty translation template only has items from:

src/menu.cpp
src/snap.cpp

I think there is a need to create a proper translation template somehow to fix this bug.

@Sebastien: Any idea how to fix a proper POT file?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

looks like https://code.launchpad.net/~dobey/indicator-datetime/fix-gsettings/+merge/317144 might fix it if somebody wants to give it a try

duplicate of bug #1664346

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the other bug restores some of the sources you listed but not all so need to check if the commit is enough, it looks like it would fix the bug with the format described here

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Marking this bug as a duplicate, since there is an 'almost solution' available for the other bug.

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

@Sebastien: The POT file in that MP seems to cover it. Especially the strings from formatter-desktop.cpp are included. So the commit ought to be enough to fix this bug.
