Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1012502
server should never store fuzzy flag against a source document's textflows
Last modified: 2014-06-30 19:41:20 EDT
Description of problem: While doing RHEL7 Software Localization for Tier1 Applications in Zanata, I found that virt-manager whose translation status in Zanata is 100%, actually shows incomplete and 9 fuzzy entries when downloaded and checked by running msgfmt command. I downloaded the .po file, corrected the fuzzy entries, confirmed that the .po file is 100% translated by running msgfmt command and uploaded to Zanata. In Zanata, it showed 100% as it did previously but when downloaded and checked again via msgfmt, it again showed the .po file as incomplete and having 9 fuzzy entries. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to this link: https://translate.engineering.redhat.com/version-group/view/RHEL7 2. Login to your account 3. Go to virt-manager 4. Click on version 0.10.0 5. Click on 'as' 6. Download the .po file and check by running msgfmt command. Actual results: Translation status shows 100% in UI whereas after running msgfmt command on the downloaded .po file it shows incomplete and having 9 fuzzy entries. Expected results: Translation status should not show 100% in UI and show the real status along with the fuzzy entries as msgfmt shows for the downloaded .po file.
It's same issue for Gujarati (gu).
It sound like a rounding problem, since 9 messages out of 1705 is less than 1%.
This seems to be fixed already, for version 3.1.
The rounding problem was reported and fixed as Bug 741509. However, the real problem is not statistic, it is Zanata keep outputting those messages as fuzzy. No matter you save them as translated in either web translation editor, or upload the .po file with all fuzzy tag removed. Tested with Zanata version 3.1-SNAPSHOT (20131003-1234): Steps to reproduce: (pretty much the same with original bug report): 0. Download virt-manager.pot and virt-manager.fuzzy.po 1. Create a new project (virt-manager) and new version (test1) in server that runs 3.1-SNAPSHOT, project-type is gettext 2. Upload virt-manager.pot as source 3. Upload virt-manager.fuzzy.po as translation 4. Use web translation editor to save those fuzzy as translated. The translation is now 100% completed. 5. Download the translation file as virt-manager.po Expected: No fuzzy translation in virt-manager.po Actual: 9 fuzzy translation in virt-manager.po Reassigned.

Further tested with Zanata version 3.1-SNAPSHOT (20131004-0039), I found: 1. Other locales might have this problem. 2. It only happened if the fuzzy translations was uploaded, it does not happen if use WebUi to edit translation from empty, then save as fuzzy, then save as translated. 3. Change the fuzzy translations then save as translated does not help. 4. If upload po in GWT document list, the project-version wide statistics is sometime different from the document statistics, even when you have only one document. Regards,

It looks like the affected strings were uploaded with a "fuzzy" flag in the POT file. This flag was then copied to the PO file when downloading, just like the "python" flag on certain entries. We should not be storing the fuzzy flag against POT files. (They shouldn't even be there, as far as I can see.) As a workaround, you could try removing the fuzzy flag from the POT and uploading it again. After that, the spurious fuzzy flag should not be added when downloading the PO files.

Tested with Zanata version 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT (20131204-0037) When encounter a fuzzy source entry, the process stopped and showed following error message: Upload Failed! Caused by: Please remove fuzzy flags from document. First fuzzy flag was found on text flow ace54e180da734297e3e84ca5c6966d2 with content [Cancel the job?] The expected and the most convenient way is just ignore the fuzzy tag, but show warning. i.e. the upload/push should not stop. Reassigned.
I think it should stop, because it means the source file is broken. Otherwise the file will probably never be fixed.
> I think it should stop, because it means the source file is broken. > Otherwise the file will probably never be fixed. Indeed. I will verify this bug with Zanata version 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT (20131204-0037).
One thing: was the correct error message given to the user for both upload methods: web and client?
Closing VERIFIED bugs for Zanata server 3.3.2.
Seem like the both client and Web UI error messages themselves are correct. From client: [ERROR] Operation failed: Failed while pushing document: [Please remove fuzzy flags from document. First fuzzy flag was found on text flow ace54e180da734297e3e84ca5c6966d2 with content [Cancel the job?]] To retry from the last document, please set the following option(s): -Dzanata.fromDoc="virt-manager" From web UI: Upload Failed! Caused by: Please remove fuzzy flags from document. First fuzzy flag was found on text flow ace54e180da734297e3e84ca5c6966d2 with content [Cancel the job?] But you can help us fix it!
