While trying to find a solution to bug #265161 , I tried to do the
following:
We have an original Select template with:
countrychooser/country-name-shortlist
__Choices: ${SHORLIST}, other
In all translations, ${SHORTLIST} is "translated" to
"${SHORTLIST_TRANSLATED}"
Thus, in the resulting templates file, we have:
Choices: ${SHORTLIST}, other
.../...
Choices-fr.UTF-8: ${SHORTLIST_TRANSLATED}, Autre
.../...
Choices-nl.UTF-8: ${SHORTLIST_TRANSLATED}, Andere
.../...
Then in the countrychooser postinst script, SHORTLIST is built with
the English values and SHORTLIST_TRANSLATED is built with translated
values in the currently used language.
(don't look in *current* postinst of trunk where only SHORLIST is
built and contains translated values)
SHORTLIST and SHORTLIST_TRANSLATED have always the same number of
choices.
Finally, in the script, I do:
db_subst countrychooser/country-name-shortlist SHORTLIST "${SHORTLIST}"
db_subst countrychooser/country-name-shortlist SHORTLIST_TRANSLATED
"${SHORTLIST_TRANSLATED}"
The original idea is showing to the user the translated values while
the *real* values are English values.
However, all I get showed are English values...:-(. THis means that
only SHORTLIST is substituted.
Do you think (mostly asked to Joey as our reference to debconf) that
such thing is possible?
