Description Noa Resare 2003-08-05 21:17:52 UTC

Description of problem:

the word "Starting" in for example "Starting Evolution" in the tasklist on the
panel is still not translated in Swedish locale.

I reported this in the previous beta cycle and hp marked it as fixed, but I
never saw the fix and rhl9 shipped with it untranslated. Bugzilla seems to have
been cleened from RESOLVED/FIXED entries.

I have tried to find where the string is set (have looked at gnome-panel,
startup-notification and metacity) but haven't found it. With a pointer in the
right direction I can find out why the string isn't translated myself.

The mix of languages when for example "WebblÃ¤saren Mozilla" is localized but not
"Starting" is frustratingly unprofessional, especially when most of the other
translation is extermely good.

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2003-08-05 21:42:35 UTC

The string is in the "gnome-desktop" package.

Be sure it's translated upstream, get a new tarball of gnome-desktop 2.2.x 
released, then let me know and I'll download and build it.

Comment 2 Christian Rose 2003-08-06 12:17:57 UTC

This message has been translated upstream since 2002-11-27:
http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=gnome-desktop%2Fpo/sv.po&rev=gnome-2-2&root=/cvs/gnome

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2003-08-06 14:25:52 UTC

So I have gnome-desktop 2.2.2 in rawhide; if there's no translation with that, 
presumably the tarball was made before that date?
Or else there's some other problem with gnome-desktop...

Comment 4 Noa Resare 2003-08-06 15:46:11 UTC

The translation was there all the time. 

It seems like a textdomain() call is missing somewhere, because if I replace
_("Starting %s") with dcgettext(GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "Starting %s", LC_MESSAGES) the
translation works as intended.

Comment 5 Havoc Pennington 2003-08-06 18:34:40 UTC

I don't see the problem offhand. Should be sure this issue is opened on 
bugzilla.gnome.org as well.

Comment 6 Noa Resare 2003-08-06 18:57:51 UTC

I have file this on bugzilla.gnome.org as <a

Ooops, wrong link. Try this instead:

Comment 8 Noa Resare 2003-12-20 18:58:36 UTC

This works as expected in fc1
