Bug 142458 – pwmanager-1.2.4 ebuild: i18n doesn't work

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian Roeder 2006-08-01 12:21:05 UTC]

[ebuild   R   ] kde-misc/pwmanager-1.2.4  USE="arts xinerama -debug -smartcard" LINGUAS="de -ca -da -el -es -et -fr -hu -it -lt -nl -pl -ro -sv" 0 kB

This should give me a German pwmanager - but it doesn't :( I checked the German .po file in the i18n tarball and it seems complete. Since there is not ONE single word in pwmanager translated into German it seems to me that the ebuild handling of LINGUAS / i18n is somehow wrong.

Could this be fixed, pls? Let me know if you need more infos.

Maybe set your locales correctly? LANG="en_US.UTF-8" would help much w/ German translation.

[Comment 2 Sebastian Roeder 2006-08-01 13:52:18 UTC]

I am not sure whether I got your point Jacob - of cause my whole system for the everyday user (unlike root) is German. And it works for all apps (KDE, GTK, OpenOffice etc.). Only pwmanager doesn't get a translated UI, that why I assume it's a fault in the pwmanager ebuild ...

sero@whiterabbit ~ $ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

So why do you want me to set my locale to en_US when I complain about missing German i18n?

Me? Excuse me, but when you post emerge --info where you have LANG="en_US.UTF-8" set (read what you've posted) and complain that something doesn't speak German, it looks pretty much like PEBKAC.

[Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-08-01 14:15:58 UTC]

LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8

means you'll get stuff in en_US.UTF-8 I'm afraid.

[Comment 5 Sebastian Roeder 2006-08-01 15:53:13 UTC]

OK then this was a missunderstanding (I didn't ment to be offending) and yes I didn't noticed the confusing LANG in emerge --info. This is because I prefer an English environment for root and set the German LANG in my everyday users ~/.xprofile. The LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 is just for Error messages, cause they often become very crytic once (badly) translated from English to German.

I hope this convinces you that this time it's not PEBKAC ...

AFAIK there's something called irony.

[Comment 7 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2007-04-01 16:24:40 UTC]

The introduction of $KDE_S and its overriding of $S in the kde.eclass is the source of the breakage. Ugly feature in the first place, but since it exists...

Fixed with 1.2.4-r1.
