Description of problem: I'm using gnome-packagekit in Finnish. It seems like the menu item translations appear in one build and go missing again in another. Right now the following .desktop files have no translations at all: gpk-application.desktop gpk-log.desktop gpk-prefs.desktop I know it may be difficult to trace what's happening in builds where .desktop translations go missing, but in my opinion this is an important thing to get fixed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-2.28.3-0.1.20091211git.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Sometimes ?? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build gnome-packagekit Actual results: Some .desktop files are completely missing translations Expected results: All .desktop files should include the translations provided in .po files.
This problem seems to be either arch-specific or then it just really happens randomly on different builds. In x86_64 the only .desktop file missing translations is gpk-log.desktop.
I tested this with mock on my local system, x86_64 had translations in all .desktop files, i686 had one .desktop file with no translations.
On Fedora 13 x86_64 all menu items are translated as of yesterday's Rawhide. Either it's just good luck that everything worked or something has been fixed between F12 and F13.
Just making a note that this is not fixed in F13, the new gpk packages still have some .desktop file translations missing.
I asked about this on the devel list, Kevin Kofler suggested disabling parallel build: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-February/131186.html Richard, could you try building gnome-packagekit without %{?_smp_mflags} at least for a while? I can of course do some tests with mock locally, but doing multiple builds and checking the .desktop files is quite tedious (or would involve writing scripts to do that...)

I can confirm gnome-packagekit-2.28.3-0.1.20091211git.fc12.i686 has missing .desktop translations, but everything is ok on x86_84 build.
It seems like the newest gpk build for F13, gnome-packagekit-2.29.91-3.fc13, has translations in all .desktop file in both x86_64 and i686. Let's keep this bug open for a while and see if it was just good luck again...
gnome-packagekit-2.30.0-2.fc13.i686 seems to be missing the translation for the 'Software Updates' menu item. I hope Richard has the time to test a few builds without smp_mflags soon.
I've been told the newest docbook-utils fixes this properly.
I'm reopening this: It's now the time for translator to review translations for Fedora 14 and I noticed "Add/Remove Software" and "Software Updates" are not translated in F14 Alpha + updates. This is gnome-packagekit-2.31.6-2.fc14.x86_64. In /usr/share/applications/gpk-application.dektop and gpk-prefs.desktop there are no translations at all.
I tried building the 2.32 branch of gnome-packagekit from git locally on F13. Without a -j switch to make it seems like the menu item translations are generated correctly. If I add a -j 3 switch to make, there's always a problem of some sort with the translations.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
