I tested your translation method and it works well on my systems (gusty), thanks.
It would be nice to have something like this enabled by default in the menu package to allow for easy transition. We cannot hope having all packages conforming to the same menu structure any time soon. Although I prefer the new menu structure and I support your translation which is looking forward, it is a bit confusing. Package maintainers referring to current debian policy (3.7.2.2, /usr/share/doc/debian- policy/menu-policy.txt.gz) will continue to use the old structure while seeing their package appearing at other places in the menu. This can be confusing. It is not critical as the menu will remain coherent (thanks to translations), but it could slow down adoption of the new menu structure. Possible solutions are : - upgrade to a newer debian policy including the new structure (if it exists) - add a special notice for menu transition in /usr/share/doc/debian-policy - rewrite the translations the other way round (e.g. from "Applications" to "Apps"). Users of the new structure are more likely to be aware of the translation for transition purpose. This one would solve the confusion problem, but would not help the transition to the new menu structure, so I personnaly prefer Cesare's solution. -- Gimp menu does not conform to Debian policy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
