Description of problem: Mike, according to our nice talk about smolt I'm attaching here the tiny patch to solve the issue we discovered this morning at LinuxTag. Please apply :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): smolt-0.9.8.1-1 How reproducible: Everytime, because smolt is expecting "j" while it's asking for "y/n".
Created attachment 155971 [details] Fix to solve this annoying issue
Created attachment 155972 [details] Fix for the same problem in Spanish translation
Please note, that Norwegian translation (nb) is also broken, but I don't know any native speaker out of the box. A solution would be to change the msgstr of msgid "y" simply from "j" to "yes": #: sendProfile.py:108 msgid "Send this information to the Smolt server? (y/n)" msgstr "" #: sendProfile.py:109 msgid "y" msgstr "j"
Oriya translation (or) is broken the same way, but I'm not using a UTF-8 system to be able to fix this in a sane way somehow. Easiest (but maybe wrong) would be to copy the value from the second translation to the first one... #: sendProfile.py:108 msgid "Send this information to the Smolt server? (y/n)" msgstr "Smolt ସେବକକ ଏହ ସଚନା ପଠାନତ? (y/n)" #: sendProfile.py:109 msgid "y" msgstr "ହ"
Okay, I've checked now all translations that are provided for smolt. Please also apply my fix for Spain and have a look to the two others...
I may just change it so that y is always accepted as well as whatever the local equivelant is supposed to be. is this a bad idea?
I agree with you. Hopefully there is no language where "y" means "no". Finally my figured out problems should be solved within the translation for a correct locale.
Ping?

Problem still persists in smolt-0.9.9-1.fc8.
Moving to target. We won't hold up the release for this.
Jesse, this bug has to be fixed anyway! It is a (very) easy fix and I already told Mike this one at F7 release which is now nearly 6 months ago!
I don't disagree that it should be fixed, that's why it's on the Target. However at the end of the day we wouldn't hold up the release of Fedora 8 for this issue. It just doesn't meet the criteria. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/ReleaseCriteria
Mike! Can you please fix this bug before F9?
Maybe the easiest way is to just change the translation on translations.fedoraproject.org..
Yes, that's what I was asking for. See the translation patches.
This was all been fixed a long time ago. Something is completely fubar with the current german translation which will likely have to be fixed by the german translator but the es translation is as it should be: ¿Enviar esta información al servidor Smolt? (s/n) The german po doesn't seem to be working at all right now. Robert, what version of smolt are you seeing german translations work at all? The latest version doesn't seem to be correct. smolt-1.0-2.fc7 is what I just tested with.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This does seem to be working now - Diese Informationen an den Smolt-Server senden? (j/n) j Scanning http://www.smolts.org/ for known errata.
