oierHi, I have a question about suggestions in Launchpad09:23
oierit seems that when you modify a translation, Launchpad suggests both terms(the old no more existing translation and the modified one) in other packages09:23
oierfor example in https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/kde-workspace/+pots/kwin-effects/eu/10/+translate there are several suggestions from Ibai Oihanguren made in the same package, but that string(https://translations.launchpad.net/docky/2.1/+pots/docky/eu/166/+translate) has only one translation there09:25
oieris it a bug on Launchpad?09:28
oierby the the the link on the suggestions page is also wrong because it link to string nÂș 174 in docky-core eventhough it is actually the 16609:34
dpmI believe the wrong suggestion number is a known bug09:38
dpmand the other one happens because old translations are hidden from the template where they were superseded, but they are still on the database and show up as global suggestions in all other templates09:38
oierand can't they be deleted?09:39
dpmafaik, they can't09:39
oierthe problem is that when you correct the translation and the uncorrected one gets suggestes, this one can propagate through other packages09:41
oierif the at the beginning a was translated as b, but then corrected to c. People who translate other packages will get b and c as suggestions and maybe chose the uncorrect option09:43
oiershould we fill a bug for this?09:56
dpmoier, I think there is one already, but it might be a good idea to file one if there isn't10:00
dpmwell, two bugs, one for each issue10:01
oieragainst Launchpad?10:02
dpmoier, yes10:08
head_victimdpm: when you get a chance, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+question/170787 - tl;dr version is the translation team owner appears absent, an active contributor (hall of famer - sagaci) wants to take up the challenge of rejuvenating the team. Is there anything else we need to do or show?10:11
dpmhead_victim, could you add your +1 on sagaci taking over the team? Just adding a reply to the question will do10:14
dpmthen I'll assign it to the LP admins to make the change10:14
head_victimdpm: no worries, wasn't sure if that was appropriate so I'll make it so.10:14
dpmhead_victim, yeah, is just a sanity check, to ensure other members of the team agree10:15
dpmand that there is record of it10:15
dpmhead_victim, let me know as soon as you've had the chance to reply, and then I'll assign the support request to the admins10:16
head_victimWriting it now10:16
head_victimComment added, let me know if that's appropriate or more detail is required.10:19
dpmhead_victim, that should be all, thanks. It may take a day or two, but the admins will now take care of transferring sagaci the ownership10:24
head_victimdpm: thanks, a day or two will be more than quick enough.10:24
dpmexcellent :)10:24
head_victimhe's really taken on a lot of work on that translations so it's good reward10:24
dpmthat's awesome10:25
dpmlooking forward to hear more from the Australian team!10:25
dpmkelemengabor, do you happen to know where the "Recovery Console" and "User Defined Session" strings can be translated? They appear on the login screen, if one tries to choose a login session10:26
kelemengabordpm: yep, there is even a bug with a bitrotting patch about it10:26
kelemengaborbug #542068 is it10:27
ubot4Launchpad bug 542068 in gnome-session (Ubuntu) (and 2 other projects) "Missing translations for "xterm failsafe session" (affects: 1)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54206810:27
kelemengaborso, the strings are not translatable, but they could be made so10:27
dpmlooking at the bug now...10:28
dpmkelemengabor, do you happen to know how the handling of those strings with lightdm has changed?10:31
kelemengaborno - aren't they still in gdm?10:31
dpmI'm not sure if we're using gdm at all. My hope is that lightdm uses them directly and thus we have a better chance of getting someone to look at merging the change to lightdm10:33
dpmit seems to still be gdm which installs those files10:35
kelemengaborindeed:10:36
kelemengabor$ dpkg -S /usr/share/xsessions/xterm.desktop10:36
kelemengaborgdm: /usr/share/xsessions/xterm.desktop10:36
head_victimdpm: sagaci is actually looking at driving a localised iso here as well ;)11:11
dpmbrilliant :)11:11
head_victimI'm going to try and gee up the artistic people in the team for desktops and stuff like that. Get everyone involved.11:11
kelemengaboreeek... bug 512395 became wontfix in LO :(15:36
ubot4Launchpad bug 512395 in openoffice.org (Ubuntu) (and 2 other projects) "Libreoffices .desktop files do not contain translation domain info (affects: 4) (dups: 1) (heat: 9)" [Wishlist,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/51239515:36
dpmkelemengabor, in openoffice, the task is still open for libreoffice, luckily15:53
kelemengabordpm: okay, then I calm down :)16:19
kelemengabordpm: one more question, why are the iso-codes domains exposed in Ubuntu translations, if we write on the16:21
kelemengaborhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline page:16:21
kelemengaborISO Codes: Please translate upstream, we will only sync from Debian and won't use the translations from Launchpad directly.16:21
kelemengaborI just don't see the point :(16:21
dpmkelemengabor, let me come back to you in a few mins, on a call right now16:26
kelemengaboralso, about bug #542068: gdm was moved to universe recently, so we might just give up hope for this16:41

dpmbummer!17:19
dpmlet's talk about it tomorrow, I need to go now. I'll do some more prodding on #ubuntu-devel17:20
jsjgruber_xchatFor a python/glade package using distutils-extra, what command should I use to generate an updated .pot file? Someone said to use python setup.build_i18n  -p  but that doesn't seem to be valid by itself. Alone or with the -m option do seem to work, but I don't know if I should use one of those.19:46
