Bug ID: 420891
Summary: Application descriptions don’t fall back to other
languages (or English) when translations are missing
Product: Discover
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover

Screenshot showing Discover with missing translations
SUMMARY
When the appdata for an application is only partially translated, i.e. some
strings are translated and some are not, the non-translated strings are simply
hidden, instead of being shown in the fall-back language (e.g. English). This
make the description of the application very confusing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set your language preferences in KDE to Norwegian Nynorsk (nn).
2. Start Discover.
3. Search for KGeography.
OBSERVED RESULT
The application descriptions only shows the text ‘Funksjonar:’ (translation of
‘Features:’), nothing else (see screenshot).
EXPECTED RESULT
The strings that are translated into ‘nn’ in the appdata file should be shown
translated while the other strings (here: description of KGeography and list of
features) should be shown in a fall-back language (the second, third etc.
preferred language, or ultimately English), just like it does for normal UI
strings in application.
