GTranslators UI is not created completely

[Marcus Habermehl]

If I'm starting GTranslator I get a lot of warnings and critical messages from GLib and the shown UI is incomplete. Some menus and the whole editor (or translating) component is missing (see attachment).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Pirouette Cacahuète (lissyx)]

I have the same, with gtranslator from Ubuntu repositories and after building from Gnome's git.

[Pirouette Cacahuète (lissyx)]

FYI, the gtranslator 2.95.1-1 in Debian Sid works well.

[Pirouette Cacahuète (lissyx)]

Opening a guest session, running replacing unity with Openbox (via openbox --replace &), I still reproduce the issue (quantal, amd64).

[Pirouette Cacahuète (lissyx)]

Fixed for me with latest 2.91.6 release just built from git. Do not forget to rm -rf ~/.config/gtranslator/ before running the newly built gtranslator.

[Marcus Habermehl (bmh1980de)]

Building from 2.91.6 release works here, too. But the menu bar looks incomplete. I don't know if its intent that there is no 'Help' menu or not.

[Christian Kirbach (christian-kirbach-e)]

The help menu was converted to a GMenu, which shows up in the top bar of the Gnome Shell. I guess Ubuntu Unity does not have it implemented, so the menu does nto show there.

[Christian Kirbach (christian-kirbach-e)]

I can confirm the missing messages list. Probably due to the changes in glade, there were some gtranslator bugs.
Gtranslator is totally unusable as it is in its current version.

may I suggest to push an upgrade for the latest version?

[Jalakas (jalakas)]

I can confirm this bug. Does someone have idea how to fix this?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gtranslator - 2.91.6-0ubuntu1
