I used gnome-packagekit as an example, the same happens with kpackagekit. I'm not sure if this should be fixed at daemon or GUI level.

yumex behavior

Yumex behavior on the same system

I can confirm this also happens in my Rawhide instance

Okay, KPackageKit and gnome-packagekit both tell the dameon to run a transaction in a specific locale. This locale is then passed to yum as a LANG environment, and yum gets the results, translates them for us, and passes them back to the daemon, which passes them to the client.

To test this, if you're searching for powertop in the client tool, do:

LANG=pt_BR yum search powertop

and see what comes up. You'll find that specspo is very incomplete, and only covers a few hundred packages.

That was a good example because powertop is one of the packages covered by specspo and translated for pt_BR in F10. If I search for powertop, yum returns this:

[igor@amd5600 ~]$ yum search powertop
Plugins carregados: refresh-packagekit
============================== Matched: powertop ===============================
powertop.x86_64 : Monitor de consumo de energia


What is exactly right, because the package summary is translated.

But, if I search for the same package in gnome-packagekit I get the summary in English.

The screenshots I attached show a similar situation.

KpackageKit have the same problem ( tested on rawhide version )

Richard, here is what I see:

PK does indeed pass the LANG from the session to the environment of the yum backend. Somehow that is not enough to make things work like they do with the yum commandline:

 [root@planemask gnome-desktop]# LANG=pt_BR yum search powertop
Plugins carregados: dellsysidplugin2, presto, refresh-packagekit
============================== Matched: powertop ===============================
powertop.x86_64 : Monitor de consumo de energia


[root@planemask gnome-desktop]# LANG=pt_BR /usr/bin/python /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py search-details newest powertop

    yum: Setup the locale using yum.misc. Fixes rh#487614

Do you want me to build a F10 package, or can you test from git master?

I wasn't able to test it with git master yet. I guess there is some problem with people.freedesktop.org git right now. I will give it a try later. If you can build a F11 package it would be helpful too.

I just tested it from git master. Unfortunately I am still able to reproduce the bug. The translated descriptions are being used now, but only for installed packages, although they should be available for other ones too.

Richard is this still an issue as the previous comments describe or has it been fixed?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
