RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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....

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.
