Description John Sefler 2014-02-04 19:13:07 UTC

Description of problem:

For words that we do NOT want translated like "subscription-manager", "python-rhsm", "Red Hat". etc, we should start using string substitution so that they do NOT get translated within a string that is marked for translation.

In otherwords, a msgid extracted for translation like this...
"Do you have the subscription-manager-migration-data package installed?"

should really look like this...
"Do you have the %s package installed?"

This will help avoid bugs like these....

Comment 5 John Sefler 2014-08-25 21:38:22 UTC

Testing version....
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.12.13-1.git.3.58ef205.el6.x86_64


[root@jsefler-6 ~]# msgunfmt --no-wrap /usr/share/locale/ta_IN/LC_MESSAGES/rhsm.mo | grep -A1 -i "subscription-manager"
msgid "This system is not yet registered. Try 'subscription-manager register --help' for more information."
msgstr "இந்த கணினி இன்னும் பதிவு செய்யப்படவில்லை. மேலும் தகவலுக்கு 'subscription-manager register --help'-ஐ பார்க்கவும்."

--
msgid "View and configure subscription-manager plugins"
msgstr "சந்தா-நிர்வாகி செருகுநிரல்களைக் கண்டு அமைவாக்கம் செய்யவும்"
--
msgid "subscription-manager is disabled when running inside a container. Please refer to your host system for subscription management.\n"
msgstr "ஒரு கன்டெய்னருக்குள் இயங்கும் போது சந்தா நிர்வாகி முடக்கப்படும். சந்தா நிர்வாகத்திற்கு உங்கள் வழங்கி கணினியைப் பார்க்கவும்.\n"
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# 



FAILED: All three msgid strings above fail to use string substitution to prevent unwanted translations of "subscription-manager".

Will leave the strings as is. We will continue to rely on the translators to not translate command line words.
