Package: apt Version: 0.7.10 Severity: normal In apt-0.7.* series many .po messages are marked as fuzzy. Such messages are not loaded by gettext libraries, and instead only English versions of messages are used. This results in visual package tools (like synaptic and update-manager) displaying inconsistent messages - partially translated and partially in English.
Example: #: apt-pkg/depcache.cc:172 apt-pkg/depcache.cc:191 apt-pkg/depcache.cc:195 #, fuzzy msgid "Reading state information" This status text is visible after many routine package-related activities (installing, upgrading, etc.) In fact, running the following command in the /po directory of the apt source tree gives me this: for f in apt-0.7.10/po/*.po; do echo -n "${f} "; grep fuzzy ${f} | wc -l; done apt-0.7.10/po/ar.po 22 apt-0.7.10/po/bg.po 31 apt-0.7.10/po/bs.po 29 apt-0.7.10/po/ca.po 31 apt-0.7.10/po/cs.po 31 apt-0.7.10/po/cy.po 139 apt-0.7.10/po/da.po 17 apt-0.7.10/po/de.po 31 apt-0.7.10/po/dz.po 31 apt-0.7.10/po/el.po 40 apt-0.7.10/po/en_GB.po 30 apt-0.7.10/po/es.po 17 apt-0.7.10/po/eu.po 14 apt-0.7.10/po/fi.po 30 apt-0.7.10/po/fr.po 2 apt-0.7.10/po/gl.po 13 apt-0.7.10/po/he.po 19 apt-0.7.10/po/hu.po 27 apt-0.7.10/po/it.po 30 apt-0.7.10/po/ja.po 2 apt-0.7.10/po/km.po 31 apt-0.7.10/po/ko.po 13 apt-0.7.10/po/ku.po 51 apt-0.7.10/po/mr.po 50 apt-0.7.10/po/nb.po 8 apt-0.7.10/po/ne.po 33 apt-0.7.10/po/nl.po 31 apt-0.7.10/po/nn.po 58 apt-0.7.10/po/pl.po 36 apt-0.7.10/po/pt_BR.po 30 apt-0.7.10/po/pt.po 28 apt-0.7.10/po/ro.po 31 apt-0.7.10/po/ru.po 30 apt-0.7.10/po/sk.po 30 apt-0.7.10/po/sl.po 58 apt-0.7.10/po/sv.po 13 apt-0.7.10/po/th.po 14 apt-0.7.10/po/tl.po 30 apt-0.7.10/po/uk.po 59 apt-0.7.10/po/vi.po 2 apt-0.7.10/po/zh_CN.po 2 apt-0.7.10/po/zh_TW.po 30 In previous versions (apt-0.6.*) there was no such a big problem. However, in apt-0.7.* many new strings were introduced, and their contents were created automatically as fuzzy. I believe the translation teams should be given a remainder and opportunity to translate the new .po files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
