Fixed In Version: anaconda-11.1.2.260-1
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The file with a list of strings that should be translated was old and didn't contain all strings marked in the code for translation. Consequence: Wrong translated messages were chosen in some places (e.g. the NFS repository dialog). Fix: A new file with a list of strings that should be translated has been generated and a Russian translation for some strings has been added. Result: The NFS repository dialog contains right strings for Russian language, the other languages need translations.

anaconda.po.patch - patches for files anaconda.pot and ru.po. Screenshots: sl59.nfs.en.png and sl59.nfs.ru.png (for russian installation)

Description of problem:

anaconda-11.1.2.259-1


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the system by NFS
2. If defined locale is not default, e.g. fr or ru, then
3. during NFS setup we get wrong messages
  
Actual results:
On the NFS Setup screen we get wrong message (garbage)

Expected results:
Correct message is expected

Additional info:
The reason is: in loader2/nfsinstall.c nfsServerPrompt string is used.
This string's defined in loader2/net.c. However, in anaconda.po
we have defined netServerPromts string. These strings are concided
upto four lines. In nfsinstall.c:59 the string nfsServerPrompt is used.
This string is identified with netServerPrompt from mo-file with TWO
%s directive for substituting strings. But only one string argument
is present in loader2/net.c. As result we have garbage in third string
on message window.

To fix this bug it's possible to add the nfsServerPrompt string
to anaconda.pot and its translation to <locale>.po files.

In attached tar-archives there three files: anaconda.po.patch,sl59.nfs.en.png, and sl59.nfs.ru.png
