The problem with the status bar is that it is freeform text, the user can type anything in it, so there is no way to translate it. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3620#issuecomment-1773785633 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

No but i tried with -c now and then i get the translated string. But does they mean that all users have to manually figure out how to get a fresh configuration when changes are made to the translation? Then if i switch between languages like if i want to test Geany in danish and afterwards in english it seems im going to see the same string in the status bar instead of different languages. I dont think i like that. The status bar string/language should change not stay the same. I noticed this in preferences. Maybe not a good idea to have text that are meant to be translated be part of a preference like that which is keept when the software/translation are updates and language is changed.  -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3620#issuecomment-1773768532 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

@scootergrisen did you use a fresh configuration? C.f. > It works for me, but note that this is the default value for a preference, so > it won't ever be updated on an existing installation. Try with `geany -c > /tmp/nonexistant`, you should see the translation. You should also be able to make the pref empty to use the default (it's in the *various prefs*) -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3620#issuecomment-1773755325 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

I downloaded and installed https://download.geany.org/geany-2.0_setup.exe again and that fixes missing translations like https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3621 but the status bar is still partly in english. `line: %l / %L col: %c sel: %s %w %t %mEOL: %M encoding: %e filetype: %f scope: %S` -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3620#issuecomment-1773719243 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

The Geany Windows installer has been replaced with updated translation files (binaries are untouched). @scootergrisen could you test the installer again? -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3620#issuecomment-1773418145 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

> @techee might be the macOS builds affected by this as well? I used meson for Geany itself (not usre if it suffers from the same problem) and autotools for plugins.

Ah funny, G-P behaves differently. There is no `update-gmo` target and the files seem to have been updated yesterday when building. This reminds me of the change to `autopoint` (#2938) which we did not yet do for G-P and so maybe the stale `*.gmo` problem is rather new. I think I will update the Geany Windows installer with the updated gmo files. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3620#issuecomment-1773201408 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Unfortunately, this is possible and after some testing even likely. But this raises more questions :(. First I deleted po/da.gmo, expecting that `make` or `make install` will regenerate it. But they didn't. Instead `make install` raised an error: ``` /usr/bin/install: cannot stat './da.gmo': No such file or directory installing ./da.gmo as /home/enrico/build/build_geany/share/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/geany.mo ``` but it continued to install everything else. After studying `po/Makefile` a bit, I noticed there is a target `update-gmo` which regenerates the `*.gmo' files. This target is only indirectly by `update-po`. This would explain why @b4n and me had some old files laying around and why we probably have distributed outdated language files on Windows already since a long time. I wonder if this is normal behavior or something uncommon in our use. If it is meant like this, I will update the Windows build process to enforce regenerating the gmo files (probably use a clean build clone). @techee might be the macOS builds affected by this as well? @scootergrisen if you want, you can try the attached `geany.mo` file and copy it to `C:\Program Files\Geany\share\locale\da\LC_MESSAGES` (or whereever you have Geany installed).

OK no, it works fine here, I just had a stale `da.gmo` in my local directory, but the content of the tarball is OK. @eht16 is it possible you didn't build the Windows binaries from a fresh clone, and had a stale thing as well? -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3620#issuecomment-1772781819 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

It works for me, but note that this is the default value for a preference, so it won't ever be updated on an existing installation. Try with `geany -c /tmp/nonexistant`, you should see the translation. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3620#issuecomment-1772759179 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
