Translation defects

[dmartina]

Companion for #1370, to include i18n defective code.

[dmartina]

argument_main_table[] in args.c: Array of strings, marked, but not translated in runtime.

[dmartina]

...and next arrays in args.c with command line help. Also, I can't find it, but "Usage:" is not translated.

[slavazanko]

Replying to dmartina:

argument_main_table[] in args.c: Array of strings, marked, but not translated in runtime.

It's very strange. We tested it on ru_RU.UTF-8, ru_RU.KOI8-R (glib versions 2,6 2.14, 2.20). In all cases we seen fully-translated help output.

Please, provide info about your envirovement.

You can see part of the text in English, part in Spanish...

It doesn't make sense if you see it fully translated. Maybe some part of Glib is missing? Which part of the code is actually doing these translations? Where did "Usage:" go?

[dmartina]

Prototype: this works!

$>mc --help_terminal

Without the patch above displays in English and with this patch displays in Spanish. Are you completely sure the russian translation and locales were behaving properly???

[slavazanko]

Okay, what I do:

1) Adapt my build-script for your envirovement:

configure.mc:

#!/bin/sh

top_srcdir=$(pwd)
BUILD_ROOT=${top_srcdir}/build_root

rm -fR $BUILD_ROOT; mkdir -p $BUILD_ROOT

pushd $BUILD_ROOT

export LANG='es_ES.UTF-8'
export CFLAGS='-DMC_USERCONF_DIR=\".mc2\"'

LDFLAGS=-s ../configure \
    --prefix=${BUILD_ROOT}/INSTALL_ROOT \
    --with-samba \
    --with-x \
    --with-included-text \
    --enable-mcserver \
    --enable-charset \
    --enable-extcharset \
    --enable-vfs-mcfs \
    --with-gpm-mouse \
    --with-included-gettext \
    --enable-vfs-undelfs \
    --enable-mcserver

    make && make install
popd

This script placed in ${src} directory and will called automatically by ./autogen.sh script. Next:

2) export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
3) cd BUILD_ROOT/INSTALL_ROOT/bin
4) mc --help

Uso:
  mc [OPCIÓN…] [+número] [DIRECTORIO] [SEGUNDO_DIRECTORIO]

Si detecta algún fallo puede comunicarlo a mc-devel@gnome.org
incluyendo la descripción obtenida con `mc -V'.

As I asked translate.google.com, this is Spanish text... :)

Some my info:

$ gettext --version
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.17
...<skip GNU header>
$ pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0
2.16.6

I'm don't reproduce this bug :( Is someone have this bug? (exclude dmartina ;).

And I seen concept-patch. As for me, I don't see difference between current 'master' and 'master' with patch. But if this really helps to you, I'll rework patch.

[dmartina]

Hmmm, amazing... I have same gettext and glib versions (Ubuntu 8.04).

The "usage" x "uso" is not translated for me and I think this is just glib stuf, so perhaps the glib in my distribution lacks some sort of l10n for Spanish... Never mind and let it be if nobody else has this problem. It's not so serious, anyway.

[slavazanko]

Okay, I'll rework your concept-patch for fully translate cmd-options help via own wrapper. But I don't have ability to check this patch :) Needs you participate in votes for this ticket...

[slavazanko]

Created branch 1579_options_help_translate

initial changeset:fdd8e65ed15e55b363cbf701c01d686203337d16

Review, please.

[dmartina]

Some more lines are translated, some remain in English. I would lower priority and change Milestone.

Try to

git pull

and compile again. I added new commit:

• d855b390855adef511ba46ab9f79ad1142e432e0: Added call of g_option_context_set_translate_func() for glib >= 2.12

[dmartina]

No changes.

[slavazanko]

Hm... Looks like untranslated glib-only messages.

Do you have file with Spanish translate for glib? Like:

$ ls -l /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/glib*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38924 Мар 16  2009 /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/glib20.mo

And, next question: is glib on your computer installed from distro-repo, or glib yourself-compiled?

No. It's not there and I couldn't find anything similar with "locate".

And, next question: is glib on your computer installed from distro-repo, or glib yourself-compiled?

It's Ubuntu's:

[slavazanko]

I really don't know what do next. :(

Is you have gnome-terminal or any other glib-based application?
Is you see help as well or partially untranslated?
Is this trouble just in mc?

As you may see in src/args.c, we fully trust to glib in options help output (bedore this branch)/ And we translate own i18n stuff as possible... but some messages glib will compute inside, we don't change this process... :(

[slavazanko]

Branch in this ticket don't change any i18n-related strings, therefore I was move ticket to '4.7.0' milestone. If someone have any ideas(patches) - welcome, may be ticket will included into pre4 milestone.

[dmartina]

I do 100% agree. It seems my (Ubuntu) glib is incomplete. As soon as I get a more reliable reference I will come back to this, but for now it is OK to park it.

[slavazanko]

dmartina, please, say about your current situation with your glib installation. Is trouble solved? Is you have any ideas about?

May be, try to manually compile&install glib and check bug again...

[dmartina]

I'm now in front of an Ubuntu 9.10 and I tried "gimp --help"; guess what I got? It seems to be that ubuntu doesn't have glib locales, so I wouldn't care anymore. If you get them, fair enough. And cross fngers for next 10.04 release.

[slavazanko]

:) Okay, is reason for close this ticket here?
