Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
When opening the "about ubuntu" option in system menu, the page appears in English. However my system is localized into Spanish (Spain): es_ES
I have realized the file:
/usr/share/gnome/help/about-ubuntu/es_ES/about-ubuntu.xml
is in English. While the file:
/usr/share/gnome/help/about-ubuntu/es/about-ubuntu.xml
is correctly translated into Spanish.
Therefore, please replace the file /usr/share/gnome/help/about-ubuntu/es_ES/about-ubuntu.xml with a copy of /usr/share/gnome/help/about-ubuntu/es/about-ubuntu.xml

NEW DESCRIPTION
At https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/ubuntu-docs/+pots/about-ubuntu there are translations for both "es" and "es_ES". The former is well translated, the latter isn't. The result is that Spanish users, who should be reading the "es" version, instead get the "es_ES" version.
Launchpad shouldn't allow the translation of duplicate languages. |

We have to allow es_ES and similar locales sometimes so per-locale modifications can be made. Eg. gweather read the default location from a translation, so GNOME's weather-locations used to provide es_ES, es_MX, es_AR and similar with just the default weather location changed (not the best way to do it, but that's reality).
Still, it is marked as a hidden language in Launchpad, so it would not be shown in the list of languages unless somebody uploaded a PO file with that name or hacked URL to get to the relevant page. Basically, we can try removing the file from the database, but you'd (Ubuntu translators, and mdke for ubuntu-docs) also need to make sure it's not being updated any more. Maybe assign Ubuntu Spanish Translators with the job of maintaining es_ES as well (so not everybody can mess with it)? |
