** Description changed: Binary package hint: conduit - On the version included in Intrepid (0.3.14), the GUI appears completely - untranslated, although translations are present. + * Impact of the bug on users and justification for backporting the fix + to the stable release - I have tested both the Catalan (ca) and German (de) locales with the - same result, i.e. the UI always appears in English. + On the version included in Intrepid (0.3.14-0ubuntu1), the GUI appears + completely untranslated, although translations are present and correctly + installed in the system. The Catalan and German locales were tested + (with catalogs in /usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/conduit.mo and + /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/conduit.mo) with the same result: the + UI appears untranslated. - Both locales have got a binary message catalog: + This impedes users without or with a low knowledge of the English + language to properly use the application. - /usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/conduit.mo - /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/conduit.mo + * How the bug has been addressed in the development branch + + The bug has been fixed upstream (SVN trunk). The relevant bug number is + http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572825, and the relevant + commit is + http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/conduit/trunk/configure.ac?r1=1713&r2=1737 + + In the development branch, the package conduit (0.3.15-1ubuntu2) for + jaunty already contains the fix, not explicitly as a debian patch, but + implicitly in the original tarball. + + TEST CASE: + 1. Start a GNOME session in a locale other than English. Recommended locales, for which there is a complete or nearly complete translation of conduit available are ca, fr, es, it. + 2. Start the conduit application through Applications > Accessories > Conduit + 3. Verify that the application fails to use translations, i.e. all menus, options and dialogues are in English. + + * Discussion of the regression potential of the patch and how users + could get inadvertently affected. + + The patch, although minimally, modifies the build system of the package + (configure, configure.ac).
