In Inkscape 0.45.1 some menu entries are not accessible. They show a message like Verb "DialogDisplay" unbekannt (Google for "inkscape verb unknown" for related source code) I assume, the German substitue string for those entries are missing. What makes it worse is, that those entries are inactive, so I just can't use them unless i find out what keyboard shortcut they have. However, I guess it is not a problem of the 0.45.1 release. I had the same thing in the previous versions and always hoped it will go away with the next release... So maybe there is something wrong with updating the language files? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge any inkscape release (in German, maybe other languages) 2. start inkscape 3. open a file menu and be not amused Actual Results: some menu entries are not active (grey) and don't show the propper label/text Expected Results: show proper labels and perform actions on click started on konsole gives me this output: Unable to find: DialogNamedview Unable to find: DialogDisplay Unable to find: FileCloseView Unable to find: DialogsClonetiler Unable to find: EditTile Unable to find: EditUnTile Unable to find: FilePrevDesktop Unable to find: FileNextDesktop Unable to find: DialogItem Unable to find: SelectionGridTile Unable to find: ObjectToCurve Unable to find: SelectionOutline Unable to find: Dialogtext
The translations are broken and this needs to be reported upstream, not to Gentoo. It works perfectly fine w/ locales set to English. http://www.inkscape.org/report_bugs.php
