Bug 127773 – kaffeine-0.8-r1 doesn't respect the language-settings

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Daniel Rose 2006-03-27 11:37:56 UTC]

Allthough the German language-file has been built (the same way as with kaffeine-0.7.1) Kaffeine does not use it. Naturally I have set the locales on my system proberly and Kaffeine-0.7.1 appeared in German as expected, as well as every other KDE program I use. I don't know why Kaffeine-0.8 does not use the language file. Any Ideas?

[Comment 1 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-03-31 06:22:27 UTC]

never used it.  maybe the kaffeine folks can help?  or the #kde folks on freenode?

[Comment 2 Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) 2006-04-02 13:31:05 UTC]

same here. 0.7.1 appeared in german (I'm using de_DE@UTF-8), but 0.8 is in english. Seems to be a problem either in Kaffeine or the ebuild.

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-04-02 13:40:42 UTC]

Considering that the ebuild doesn't change anything wrt language handling, probably upstream fault. Can someone try to get in touch with the author?

[Comment 4 Daniel Rose 2006-04-04 07:22:47 UTC]

I also use de_DE.utf8(which I haven't postet yet, shame on me). I will file a bug report to the kaffeine authors.

[Comment 5 Daniel Rose 2006-04-04 11:31:27 UTC]

kaffeine-0.8.1 also affected.
Bug report is here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1464409&group_id=86937&atid=581406

new info: the 1st time setup wizard is in german, but the interface afterwards is in english. Try it. stop kaffeine, remove all kaffeine configs in ~/.kde (rename is enough) and then start kaffeine again.

Hi,

I stumbled about the same problem after upgrading from kde-3.5.3 to kde-3.5.4. Even a recompile of kaffeine didn't help.
What I can tell is that this problem also occurs with LANG="de_DE@wuro" as I avoid UTF-8 where I can.

damn typos. I meant LANG="de_DE@euro"

[Comment 9 Matteo Azzali (RETIRED) 2006-09-08 06:38:35 UTC]

I suspect this bug is restricted to "de" (german) language only.
My kaffeine (8.1-r1 in kde-3.5.4) is perfectly italianized.

I would suggest you to try to insert a clean de.po german file with just 
one or two senteces translated and check if it works ok, if this is the case
then the error is in the de.po file (wrong char set, wrong character or
similar issue).

No way, I have my system as es-ES.UTF8 and it is in english only!

[Comment 11 Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) 2006-09-08 10:17:15 UTC]

hmmm. I don't know when this happend, but now my kaffeine is fully localized (de_DE.UTF-8). Version is kaffeine-0.8.1-r1.

[Comment 12 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2006-09-11 13:17:24 UTC]

still no german language with kaffeine-0.8.2 :-(

[Comment 13 Matteo Azzali (RETIRED) 2006-09-13 04:10:15 UTC]

Ok, for my italian version I found that I needed to create a symlink:
/usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/kaffeine.mo pointing to
kaffeine-0.8.2.mo in the same directory. Please check if your issue is the
same so we can start working on a better ebuild.....

[Comment 14 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2006-09-13 04:20:17 UTC]

Hi,

you're awesome ;) That solved the language problem. Thought I'm currently on kaffeine-0.8.1 again as kaffeine-0.8.2 doesn't find the xine-engine anymore I have a german kaffeine again.

digging in po/Makefile.in it seems all fine, same instructions as koverartist
(that installs the .mo files fine), but somewhat it seems that the lines with
"$(DESTDIR)$(kde_locale)/$$base/LC_MESSAGES/$(PACKAGE).mo" the $(PACKAGE)
value is "packagename-packageversion" instead of just "packagename".

[Comment 16 Matteo Azzali (RETIRED) 2006-09-13 05:23:42 UTC]

Hum, the Makefile.in present in po/ directory seems to be completely unused..
(patched substituting $(PACKAGE) with kaffeine but nothing has changed)
Have to find what determines the name of the localization files, then.

[Comment 17 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-09-13 05:32:56 UTC]

Makefile.in is regenerated by the autotools support.

I'm on it, I'll try to find the cause.

[Comment 18 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-09-13 05:57:09 UTC]

Okay this is fixed now. The problem is that the configure.in.in does not set correctly the package name, and it takes the name of the directory for it. On a SVN version it will get "kaffeine", on the release, "kaffeine-${PV}". I moved the directory before building, and here it is fixed :)

[Comment 19 boris64 2007-04-14 09:52:31 UTC]

Hi guys, why is this bug set to "fixed"?
I just compiled kaffeine-0.8.4 and it still
doesn't respect my language settings.
