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 Bryan Kearney 2012-03-08 19:39:38 UTC 
the use of CamelCase and ALLCAPS cuases issues where translators do not translte the string, but QE opens up bugs against them. This bug Moves CamelCase to Camel Case and ALLCAPS to ALL-CAPS to try and resolve the issue.

Comment 5 John Sefler 2012-04-18 20:31:19 UTC 
Verifying Version...
[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.99.14-1.el6.x86_64

To verify this bug, I picked one of the translated rhsm.mo files and ran the following command looking at each of the msgid keys.

# msgunfmt /usr/share/locale/as/LC_MESSAGES/rhsm.mo | more

Within the output from that command I looked for cases of CamelCase and ALLCAPS.  

VERIFIED: I found no cases of two words combined in a format of ALLCAPS.


[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]#  msgunfmt /usr/share/locale/as/LC_MESSAGES/rhsm.mo | grep msgid | egrep [A-Z][a-z]+[A-Z]
msgid "Invalid Product List ScrolledWindow"
msgid "Unable to locate SystemId file. Is this system registered?"

FAILED/QA: "ScrolledWindow" and "SystemId" are the only CamelCase values found in the msgid keys.  However...

Running the following command you will find that some translators choose to translate "ScrolledWindow" and some translators choose not to translate. (the same is true for "SystemId"). 
[root@jsefler-r63-server ~]# for f in `rpm -ql subscription-manager | grep rhsm.mo`; do echo $f; msgunfmt $f | grep  ScrolledWindow; done;

In my opinion these are not bugs.  Instead they are concious decisions by the translators who choose what is appropriate to be translated in their language.


Here are other questionable keys that I found.  However they too are translated in some languages and not in other:

msgid "N/A"
msgid "SLA"
