[Victor Thompson]

Currently the labels for Rain, Snow, and chance are not in the pot file and not available to be translated.

Can the “% chance” string be reworded? It is recognized by Launchpad as an argument (the “% c”) and doesn’t let me submit a translation for it. I know it’s a Launchpad bug, but it’s quicker that you workaround it than Launchpad fixing it.

Adolfo, are you sure? I see it in the translations: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/trunk/+pots/ubuntu-weather-app/es/14/+translate

[Adolfo Jayme (fitojb)]

Victor, try submitting a translation for that string and you’ll see the error I’m talking about.

[Adolfo Jayme (fitojb)]

OK, closing this as fixed since the missing strings are available for translation now and the bug about the problematic percent is reported separately over bug 1357742. Thanks for your work!

Please note that it's not a bug in Launchpad. The issue is that xgettext extracts the string and interprets it as a format string "%c":

#, c-format
msgid "% chance"
msgstr ""

Then Launchpad displays it and does error checking interpreting it as a format string, as marked in the .pot fie "#, c-format". I believe one way to work around this is to mark the original string as "%% chance" (see the double percentage mark), but I've not tried it myself.
