Description Kjartan Maraas 2003-08-31 07:52:09 EDT

Description of problem:

When running switchdesk with Norwegian locale I still get the english strings. I
think the problem could be in switchdesk/src/switchdesk-gnome.c where config.h
should be the very first include instead of being placed down with the intl.h
include.

Also attaching a norwegian translation for the .desktop file.

Also, should the .desktop file be utf8 encoded?

Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2003-08-31 09:28:19 EDT

Attaching a tested patch for switchdesk-gnome.c - the KDE variant doesn't work
here and I don't know KDE's i18n framework well enough to look into it.

Comment 6 Kjartan Maraas 2003-08-31 09:36:51 EDT

After looking at the strace output when running the KDE variant it seems as if
it's looking in the wrong place for the message catalog. switchdesk-kde is
looking in /usr/share/locale/no_NO.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES when it's really in
/usr/share/locale/no/LC_MESSAGES

Patch fixing the Qt frontend.

Patch fixing the Qt frontend (not tested with USE_KDE2):
* switchdesk was looking for "messages.mo" instead of "switchdesk.mo"
* The translations were assumed to be in Latin-1

TODO: use intltool for .desktop translation, if someone cares enough.

Comment 8 Kjartan Maraas 2003-08-31 10:11:04 EDT

Attaching a screenshot that shows the text is overlapped with the logo.

Comment 11 Ngo Than 2004-02-03 16:27:03 EST

it's fixed in 4.0.0, which is available in rawhide

Comment 12 Miloslav Trmac 2004-04-07 09:40:03 EDT

OK, please push it to elvis.redhat.com (including updated .po files)
so that it can be translated.

Thanks.

Comment 13 Ngo Than 2004-04-07 09:47:59 EDT

It's already on elvis a month ago! Could you please check it from CVS
again.

Comment 14 Miloslav Trmac 2004-04-07 10:12:38 EDT

Yes, the code is there, but the .po files are not updated.
The glade file has revisions dated 2004/02/15 and 2004/04/06,
but (grep -h POT-Creation-Date *|sort -u) shows the files
were updated last time on 2004/02/01, some of them even
2003/01/02.

The way it currently works (I don't like it that much either)
is that developers should manually run (make -C po update-po)
and push the results to elvis.

Comment 15 Ngo Than 2004-04-07 11:11:56 EDT

ok, i have done the po files update and already commited the changes
into CVS. Could you please check again. Thanks

Comment 16 Miloslav Trmac 2004-04-07 11:34:34 EDT

Looks fine, thanks a lot!
