Bug 687311

Hi Karl O.

Please grab my quick and dirty try at fixing this from 

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Zaitor:/branches:/OBS_Maintained:/desktop-translations/openSUSE_11.4_standard/

Fileversion should be desktop-translations-11.4-8.17.1.noarch.rpm ( or higher)

Note that when writing this it is not published yet, so hold back until you see the right version is published.

----

The spec file does contain a rather notevorthy part about Norwegian Bokmål
If something similar is needed for nn is unknown.


%install
pushd po
for lang in *; do 
  if test "$lang" = "nb_no"; then
    continue
  fi
  if test -f $lang; then
	rm $lang
  else

I tried installing the file desktop-translations-11.4-8.18.1.noarch.rpm from your repository, but it still didn’t contain any translations for Norwegian Nynorsk.

I think. we first must add "nn" to https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/opensuse-i18n/branches/openSUSE-11_4-Branch/lcn (and to the trunk) and run the 50-tools/desktop-files-update.sh script.

Then we must call PREPARE_PACKAGE to re-package desktop-translations.tar.bz2 from the SVN.

I'm wondering whether we should add some more languages to our translation SVN (even if there is no active translator for those languages?)?

coolo, I want to add the 'nn' desktop translations to openSUSE 11.4.  Can you please change the URLs in https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/opensuse-i18n/branches/openSUSE-11_4-Branch/lcn/50-tools/desktop-files-update.urls accordingly?

don't recrawl. Take the nn files from factory and merge against 11.4's pot files. Everything else is insanity - even though it might not be perfect.

Now available for testing:

OBS: home:keichwa:branches:openSUSE:11.4:Update:Test/desktop-translations

And SR done:

osc sr  -m'add nn' home:keichwa:branches:openSUSE:11.4:Update:Test desktop-translations
created request id 67528

This was a sr to itself...  Next try:

osc sr -m'software update' home:keichwa:branches:openSUSE:11.4:Update:Test  desktop-translations openSUSE:11.4:Update:Test
created request id 67699

I see this bug is marked as ‘fixed’, but I can’t even find the file for testing. I have looked in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/keichwa:/branches:/openSUSE:/ but can’t find anything for openSUSE 11.4 here. Where do I find the file? (Sorry if this is a dumb question; I’m pretty new to openSUSE.)

My fault, I forgot to enable the 11.4 repo for publishing.  Now, here is the package (desktop-translations):

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/keichwa:/branches:/openSUSE:/11.4:/Update:/Test/openSUSE_11.4/noarch/

It contains /usr/share/locale/nn/LC_MESSAGES/desktop_translations.mo .

I'll release is together with bug 685148

I can confirm that the new RPM file fixes the bug. However, just installing it and logging out and in again, or even rebooting, didn’t help. I had to change the locale to another language and then change it back to Norwegian Nynorsk for the translations to show up.

Thanks for verification!

Switching locales is sometimes a experience.  The behavior you describe could be a different bug; maybe, it is just an implementation limitation.  If you think it is serious enough, please file a detailed bug about it, so developers will be able to reproduce it.

There is a cache that will only update if the .desktop files change, not if the .mo file changes. Possible to change, but rather ugly.

Is this cache *never* updated unless the .desktop files change? That would mean that it’s impossible to supply improved translation for .desktop files.

Where is this cache, and how can one manually update/recreate it?
