Description of problem: The desktop menu entry for redhat-config-printer is not translated, as reported in #79218. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install es_ES locale 2. Login to desktop 3. Actual results: English menu item Expected results: Spanish translation Additional info: I could not find the desktop item for translation on elvis .
It's in printconf/printconf-gui.desktop.
Let me know what I need to do here.
Hi Tim, you could use the intltool* set to extract the .desktop strings and put them into the .po files for translation, or look through the strings in the .po files to see if translations for them already exist that you could c'n'p into the .desktop file.
Patch from bug #79745 was broken. Should be fixed in redhat-config-printer-0.6.42-1. Please confirm.
Oops, that was intended for a different bug.

Not sure how to use intltool*. Any examples I could look at elsewhere?
Created attachment 90662 [details] Patch to use intltool Hello, Usually, intltool is used together with autoconf; intltoolize is run from autogen.sh and the distributed tarball contains intltool-*.in, which are converted to intltool-* by configure. This means that the tarball is not dependent on whether does the user have intltool installed. This is not much of a concern for printconf ;-), so the attached patch just calls /usr/bin/intltool-*. It just converts the system to use intltool and makes the printconf-gui.desktop file translatable. After building the original package and package with this patch applied, there are no differences in *.py or *.mo files. (It also fixes a typo in the Makefile: verison -> version) * You'll need to add intltool to Buildrequires: in printconf.spec * This patch does not include the regenerated *.po{,t} files. After running make -C po update-po, you should get a new set which has all the strings the original files had, plus about 30 new strings. Two of them come from printconf-gui.desktop.in and should be translated (or merged from previous file, see below). The others are caused by the fact that *.py files contain _N() markers, which were not found using the previous xgettext invocation. It seems most of the markers should not be there (definitely the _N('') ) at all. * printconf-gui.desktop is generated from printconf-gui.desktop.in by intltool-merge. The old translations from printconf-gui.desktop were REMOVED and will have to be manually merged to newly generated *.po files. * This should also fix your libglade-xgettext problems, intltool supports *.glade natively. I have added gui/redhat-config-printer.glade in POTFILES and removed the commented-out rule for redhat-config-printer.glade.str.
Thanks a lot! Patch applied in redhat-config-printer-0.6.50-1.
