Public bug reported: Problem: Translations of strings that have duplicates appear untranslated in Ubuntu. This affects especially very visible strings and makes Rosetta unusable as a primary infrastructure for translating OpenOffice.org See bug #60570 for details.
Reason: Upstream has been using the msgid_comments (as described in http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/duplicates_duplicatestyle) for the POT templates for OpenOffice.org since about a year. Rosetta doesn't. One example, the "Open..." string from the main menu is msgid "~Open" in Rosetta, but msgid "_: GenericCommands.xcu#..GenericCommands.UserInterface.Commands..uno_Open." "Label.value.text\n" "~Open..." upstream. msgmerge is not able to merge the different strings together. Proposed fix: Create the templates for OOo in Rosetta using the --duplicates=msgid_comment option in oo2po. ** Affects: openoffice.org-l10n (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Templates in Rosetta ignore duplicates (Fix proposed) https://launchpad.net/bugs/67590 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
