bootmanager buttons - no translations [SOLVED]

[xanad]

Hi all,
Completing a translation I found myself faced with a problem, that I can not solve.
Some buttons are not translated. Inside the script of bootmanager, gettext is right. In /LC_MESSAGES, there is the translated file xdialog.mo. But they do not work ...
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.



ps: Other programs have the same problem.

Looks like that these are old Xdialogs that were never fully gettext.
In the extra SFS loading case for example look at ~line 195 of bootmanager it should have

Code: Select all

--ok-label "$(gettext 'OK')" 

same for --cancel-label. Unfortunately, Xdialog does not have --help-label so you can use a different approach providing an Xdialog.po/mo that should also cover OK and Cancel.

If you identify and correct all these instances pleeeease provide a patch for woof-CE since you'll have done all the work so we will not need to rediscover the wheel next time.

Hi mavrothal,

--ok-label \"$(gettext 'OK')\"

ok, it only works with OK and Cancel, not with Help, Add and Remove

dont work in Tahr, other path?

This is in the source code, so you'll need to recompile Xdialog.

You may want to check with L18L and/or Bert about the exact process and the paths for the Xdialog nls of builtins.

Nice.
However, every puppy I checked from Precise onwards reports Xdialog 2.3.1, like the attached pet ,
How is this different? Is it compiled differently (how)? Has a different source code (where is it)?

Alien version (Jun 2015) from slackware repo:

Good find.
But this is actually the same Xdialog from the source of 2007 that all puppies since then have!
What this Slackware package has is the .mo files for a number of languages including Italian. You can just add /usr/share/locale/it from the package to your language pet and it should work in any puppy without the rest of the stuff

Sorry, It does not work for me. Not so.

You are right!
I do not know where 666phil got/compiled Xdialog for Tahrpup64 (is not in the Ubuntu repos), but indeed it does not work.
However, if you compile Xdialog from source in Tahr and provide the mo files, works fine.
You may want to alert 666phil on that.
