Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Hedda Peters 2012-10-10 01:08:22 UTC
Description of problem:
The following string cannot be translated properly, because the use of variables:

"A label was not provided during %s creation; therefore, a label of '%s' was automatically assigned. If you would like a different label, please delete the %s and recreate it with the desired label."

"...delete the %s and recreate it..."  Depeding on what %s will be replaced with, there are several possible translations for "the" and "it" in many languages.

Better would be to have this string translated several times with all possible values for %s visible to translators.

Comment 4 Mike McCune 2012-11-07 16:23:47 UTC
%s is a user entered value that will not be translated.  We can investigate how to put better variables in our strings but you will see lots of cases where we do variable substitution based on user-input data.

getting rid of 6.0.0 version since that doesn't exist

Comment 7 Bryan Kearney 2013-12-16 14:23:23 UTC
Closing all i18n bus due to ne architecture. The goal is still a localized UI and CLI, but we will do this via a new round of testing.
