dpmgood morning all08:06
trijntjeIs there something we can do to get some more atention to this bug?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/86982410:10
ubot4Launchpad bug 869824 in launchpad "Doing a search in the ddtp-ubuntu project's translations templates times out (affects: 5) (dups: 2) (heat: 35)" [Critical,Triaged]10:10
iceroottrijntje: maybe on #launchpad10:28
iceroottrijntje: also i have good results in putting the team on CC of that bug10:28
iceroottrijntje: i added the launchpad-maintainers on cc10:29
trijntjeiceroot: ok, thanks10:30
trijntjeI don't want to nag them too much, since they are also doing their best. But I also really want that bug fixed :P10:31
iceroottrijntje: imo its not bad to put someone on cc10:51
iceroottrijntje: i am doing that on every bug i create, i look for the maintainers and put them on cc so they will get notified, if they dont want that they can remove themselve again10:51
trijntjeiceroot: thats a good idea, I actually thought lp would do that automatically10:55
iceroottrijntje: sometimes it does that but mostly you have to do it by yourself10:56
trijntjeill remember that for futur bug reports, thanks. Now lets wait and see what happens ;)11:04
iceroottrijntje: good luck :)11:05
sagaciso if I change a string today, when can will I see if in the daily builds, estimating, days/weeks/months/etc13:48
kelemengaborsagaci: in theory, there are now new langpacks being created twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays: https://dev.launchpad.net/Translations/LanguagePackSchedule13:53
kelemengaborin fact, only the exports were generated until now and not the actual binaries13:54
sagaciso once they're in a langpack, you'll see them in the distribution...?13:54
kelemengaborbut dpm said yesterday that he will see into it13:54
kelemengaborin precise, yes13:54
dpmkelemengabor, I'm on it, I'm on it :)13:55
kelemengabordpm: tell sagaci, not me :)13:55
dpm:-)13:55
sagacithanks, I was just changing the format for the date/time for en_AU and just was wondering how long it'd take for the change to eventuate13:56
icerooti found 2 missing translated items in the package "evolution" how to find out if there is just a missing translation or if the source-code does not have translation-flags for the menu-items, so its an upstream bug14:14
icerootimo there was some launchpad-magic14:14
kelemengaboriceroot: first, I'd check if it is present in the LP template14:19
kelemengaborso, I'd open https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+lang/hu?batch=30014:19
kelemengaborsearch for evolution14:20
kelemengaborand also evolution-data-server14:20
kelemengaborand check if those templates do not contain it14:20
icerootkelemengabor: i will do it now14:21
icerootkelemengabor: the templates are created from ubuntu-users? or are they coming from the upstream-project?14:22
kelemengaborthey are from the source packaged by Ubuntu14:24
kelemengaborso these include the strings added by Ubuntu-specific patches14:24
kelemengaborat least in theory, they should14:24
sagaciis there a way to get hard stats on how many strings you've contributed to the ubuntu packages.. I mean there's karma, but it deprecates over time14:25
icerootkelemengabor: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/evolution-exchange/+pots/evolution-exchange/de/158/+translate  that translation is missing in my evolution-exchange14:25
icerootthere it is still called "Permissions..."14:25
sagacidepreciates, I mean14:25
icerootas it seems its 2 years old there but does not make the way into evolution-exchange14:25
kelemengaboriceroot: now this is where it starts being interesting :)14:26
kelemengaborwhat happens, if you issue14:26
icerootkelemengabor: sorry dont know what you mean14:27
kelemengaborgettext -d evolution-exchange-3.2 "Permissions..."14:27
kelemengaborI'm about to explain :)14:27
kelemengaborso, if the translation is in LP, it should be in the package too14:27
icerootkelemengabor: i get the correct german translation14:27
kelemengaborthe above command asks gettext if it can see the string in the domain of the package14:28
icerootkelemengabor: ah, i only get the correct translation for evolution-exchange-3.2 not for evolution-exchange14:28
icerootand the package ubuntu is using is evolution-exchange, not evolution-exchange-3.214:29
kelemengaborthat's okay - evolution templates are versioned14:29
icerootah ok14:29
kelemengabormost are not, but evolution is, and it changes with each release14:29
icerootkelemengabor: http://alpha-unix.de/~iceroot/ubuntu/evolution-missing-translation.png its not14:30
kelemengaborfor longer strings, or for strings using ngettext, you can also use msgunfmt /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/foo.mo | grep "whatever"14:30
icerootii  evolution-exchange                      3.2.1-0ubuntu214:31
kelemengaborokay, so the translation is there, but not showing up, this means usually that there is a bug in the source code14:31
icerootkelemengabor: i will open a LP bug about that and but german translation team on CC14:32
kelemengaborgood, so there is no version mismatch between the package and the template14:32
icerootkelemengabor: any other teams that should be put on cc for that issue?14:32
kelemengabora bug definitely, but only against the ubuntu-translations project14:33
icerootkelemengabor: ok14:33
kelemengabormy guess is that this is a source code problem and not a translation one14:33
icerootso a evolution-exchange-issue14:33
kelemengabornow, it will be time to see that source14:33
kelemengaboriceroot: and please include screenshots14:34
icerooti will pull the source-package, grep for "Berechtigungen" and if it is there i will create a bug against evoltuion-exchange and also make that upstream14:34
icerootpo/de.po:msgstr "Berechtigungen …"14:35
icerootso its in the package, then i will do a bug against evolution-exchange and also put that bug upstream.14:35
icerootkelemengabor: thanks for the help14:35
kelemengaboriceroot: do you see more untranslated strings, for example when you select those menu entries?14:40
icerootkelemengabor: yes (same screenshot)14:40
icerootkelemengabor: all others are fine (i checked the complete evoltion menus)14:40
kelemengaborokay, thanks14:40
kelemengaborthis reduces the number of suspects to one :)14:44
iceroothttps://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution-exchange/+bug/91126914:44
ubot4Launchpad bug 911269 in evolution-exchange (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "evolution-exchange is ignoring already translated menu-items (Permissions..., Berechtigungen...) (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]14:44
kelemengaboriceroot: if you change to the calendar or tasks view, you should see these entries too14:45
kelemengaborare they translated then?14:45
icerootkelemengabor: no, still "Permissions..."14:45
icerooti will append that on the bug14:45
kelemengaborgood :)14:46
kelemengaborI think I know what's going on14:46
kelemengaborwill need some time to test a patch14:46
icerootkelemengabor: no need to hurry, its not a big problem but i like to report such things directly so i dont forget that14:47
kelemengaborplease do so :)14:48
icerootits also upstream on the gnome-project https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66718514:48
ubot4Gnome bug 667185 in Connector "evolution-exchange is ignoring already translated menu-items (Permissions..., Berechtigungen...)" [Normal,Unconfirmed]14:48
icerootso the normal way if i found something like that again is to look if it is already in the launchpad-template, if it is translated there its a bug in the package, if it is not translated its up to me to put the german translation into it14:49
kelemengaboriceroot: roughly yes14:55
icerootkelemengabor: if i translate something in launchpad, does that goes automaticly into the next ubuntu-release or the next sec-update? does it also automaticly goes upstream15:01
kelemengaboryes, no, no15:02
kelemengaborin details:15:02
kelemengabortranslations made in Precise should go there automatically15:02
icerootok but stable-releases are not afftected by that15:03
icerootare they affected by that when the package is updated for another reason?15:03
kelemengabortranslations made in stable releases should go through testing, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/LanguagePackUpdatesQA15:03
kelemengaborand translations made in ubuntu should be downloaded and manually submitted to upstream15:04
icerootthanks for the info, i will do some reading, maybe i can also work on some QA on that topic15:04
icerootkelemengabor: so if i translate something in launchpad i should also mail the upstream-maintainer about that (or the correct language team instead of the maintainer)15:04
kelemengaboryes15:05
iceroothm15:05
icerootcan i get a *.po from launchpad? so i can easily diff it after my work and also maybe fetch work from some other users too15:05
icerootso i can diff the upstream *.po with the ubuntu *.po15:06
kelemengaborsure, there is a link above the translatable strings: "Download translation"15:07
icerootkelemengabor: great, now i have a great amount of new infos and i will do some work on that, thank you very much for your usefull help15:07
kelemengaboryou are welcome :)15:07
kelemengaboriceroot: one more question, if you have some time to test evo-exchange15:29
kelemengaborif you try to set up a new MS Exchange account, can you see untranslated strings?15:31
kelemengaborlike on the Receiving Mail page?15:31
kelemengaborbecause I do, and my gut feeling is that we have a much bigger problem here than a few untranslated menu entries15:34
icerootkelemengabor: i have setup an exchange account (using owa) what page/item do you exactly mean?18:48
icerootkelemengabor: if i go to settings for my exchange account the tab "exchange settings" is completty english18:50
icerootor better, the headings are german, the rest is english, e.g. "nicht im Büro" (out of office) the heading is german, the complete translation is english18:51
kelemengaboriceroot: thanks for the information, could you make a few screenshots?18:55
kelemengaborand I meant the new account wizard under Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts->Add18:59
kelemengaborand its Receiving Email tab18:59
icerootkelemengabor: that wizard is complety translated here on precise19:01
kelemengaboreven when you select the MS Exchange type?19:02
icerootlet me recheck19:02
kelemengaborhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~kelemeng/pix/msexchange.png19:05
kelemengaboranything like this?19:05
trijntjeI noticed compiz is no longer high in the templates, and upstream has been a mess for a long time. Has there been any change on that recently, as far as translations go?19:07
icerootkelemengabor: http://alpha-unix.de/~iceroot/ubuntu/evoultion-screenshots/19:07
icerootkelemengabor: yes, the one you posted is the same for me with the english text19:07
icerootalso some other screenshots with issues about exchange19:08
kelemengaboriceroot: thanks, looks like we found a really ugly bug here19:11
icerootcan you paste that on the gnome-bugtracker?19:13
icerootand maybe give me a short overview about the bug/reason?19:13
kelemengaborsure19:13

icerootkelemengabor: the thunderbird bug is not fixed, they did something strange on ther bugtracker19:15
icerooti guess all mailclients are bugged in translations :)19:15
kelemengaborI mean they set it fixed in upstream. it will take a little while until it trickles down to us, but that's ok19:16
icerootkelemengabor: but i cant find the fix in upstream19:17
icerootbut i have already comment on that bug if someone can give me a hint about that19:17
icerootkelemengabor: have to do some sleeping, if you need further infos just leave a message here19:21
