Extension doesn't work when language is set to en_GB.utf8

[Mario Kemper (Romario)]

I've used your extension for a long time (german system language) and it worked great.

Because of testing purposes I've switched to English and your extension isn't working anymore. The Menu entry is missing and there is an empty entry in the tools section of the menubar (see attached screenshot for a detailed view).
Additionally there are some JavaScript links/functions that stopped working as well:

Visit: http://nachrichten.t-online.de/c/17/27/07/40/17270740.html and try to open the thumbnail showing Mr. Sarkozy for example ;-)

When i deactivate your extension or switch back to german, everything works just fine.

Thanks for your help in advance.

found bug

I will probably release a fixed version of "ubuntuusers Menu" tomorow.

Because the "bug" (it's not really one) is connected with EasyMenu I will give you some more informations:
If you use tooltips you have to translate them into all used languages. Otherwise the extension doesn't work properly.

Example (used languages: English, German]:
<tooltiptext locale="de-DE">German text</tooltiptext>
   -> Extension doesn't work when language is set to en_GB.utf8

<tooltiptext locale="en-US">English text</tooltiptext>
   -> Extension doesn't work when language is set to de_DE.utf8

<tooltiptext locale="de-DE">German text</tooltiptext>
<tooltiptext locale="en-US">English text</tooltiptext>
   -> Extension works when language is set to en_GB.utf8 or de_DE.utf8

Best regards,
JaiBee

Thanks for the quick reply.
So really is not a "strict" EasyMenu bug because at the moment there
isn't a check if a string is present in all the locale used, is in the
todo list...

I have corrected a little bug in the tutorial page of easymenu (
http://easymenu.googlepages.com/tutorial ) and better explained this
poin the tooltiptext tag description:

[OPTIONAL TAG] The localized menu/item tooltiptext to be shown with the
relative locale. This tag is optional but if used, one tag for each
locale must be provided. This tag can be child of many different tags,
but his meaning is always the same.

In any case I will reply now to the LP bug and set the status for the
EasyMenu side of the bug.

Thanks for the report,

Ooops, I have replied to the bug email instead of JaiBee directly, sorry for the mistake.

Fortunately the content is the same, I set the status in EasyMenu as Won't Fix (at this time) because in order to do this check an entire section of the program must be completely revisited. Hoping to do this in future release.

[JaiBee (jaibee)]

I have released the fixed version: 0.1.7 (see links on https://launchpad.net/ubuntuusers-menu).

Thank you Mario for the report and Volans for the response. I knew that it was not a real bug in EasyMenu by the way ;-)

Best regards,
JaiBee
