2018-04-30 19:11:04 Gunnar Hjalmarsson description $ tail -n1 /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Characters.desktop X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=$PACKAGE_NAME dh_translations is confused by files in the source package belonging to the old build system. configure.ac contains this line: GETTEXT_PACKAGE=$PACKAGE_NAME and dh_translations happily uses it to do its things. The gnome-characters source package should apparently be cleaned up, but I think that dh_translations should also be changed to not accept a domain starting with '$'. [Impact] The version of dh_translations, which was present when gnome-characters was last uploaded, resulted in a .desktop file with the wrong gettext domain, so the name of the application in e.g. the Activities overview is always shown in English. Meson support has been added to dh_translations since, so a no-change rebuild is sufficient to fix the issue. [Test Case] On a system with some other language but English: * Install the gnome-characters .deb package -> find that its name is "Characters". * Install the rebuilt version of gnome-characters * Relogin -> find that its name is the translation of "Characters" [Regression Potential] None.
