Yes David.
On further investigation, I think there are some packaging issues around
"Assistive Tools" that prevent this topic from being dislayed localized
in Maverick.
In short, I think the Ubuntu gnome language packs do not install the
localized Assistive Tools content, which is a gnome-user-guide topic.
Here's how it looks to me.
Yelp looks for localized content here:
/usr/share/gnome/help/TOPIC/LANG/
In Ubuntu, there are links installed there that point to the following location:
/usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/TOPIC/LANG
So yelp tries to open files where it expects them but actually ends up
opening files that exist in another location because of the links.
A closer look. First I'l show a topic that works, then show this topic,
which is broken, for comparisoon.
The TOPIC that works is 'newtoubuntu' and the LANG is zh_CN.
The newtoubuntu LINK is installed by ubuntu-docs package:
$ ls -alh /usr/share/gnome/help/newtoubuntu/zh_CN/newtoubuntu.xml lrwxrwxrwx 1
root root 64 2010-12-14 14:26
/usr/share/gnome/help/newtoubuntu/zh_CN/newtoubuntu.xml ->
/usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/newtoubuntu/zh_CN/newtoubuntu.xml
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/gnome/help/newtoubuntu/zh_CN/newtoubuntu.xml
ubuntu-docs: /usr/share/gnome/help/newtoubuntu/zh_CN/newtoubuntu.xml
The newtoubuntu LINK TARGET is installed by language-pack-gnome-zh-hans-
base:
$ ls -alh /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/newtoubuntu/zh_CN/newtoubuntu.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49K 2010-09-20 04:59
/usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/newtoubuntu/zh_CN/newtoubuntu.xml
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/newtoubuntu/zh_CN/newtoubuntu.xml
language-pack-gnome-zh-hans-base:
/usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/newtoubuntu/zh_CN/newtoubuntu.xml
This works. That is, one sees localized "New to Ubuntu" on the front
page of the Ubuntu Help Center displayed in yelp.
Now lets look at broken TOPIC gnome-access-guide ("Assisitive Tools").
The gnome-access-guide LINK is installed by gnome-user-guide-zh package:
$ ls -alh
/usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-access-guide/zh_CN/gnome-access-guide.xmllrwxrwxrwx
1 root root 78 2010-12-16 14:45
/usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-access-guide/zh_CN/gnome-access-guide.xml ->
/usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/gnome-access-guide/zh_CN/gnome-access-guide.xml
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-access-guide/zh_CN/gnome-access-guide.xml
gnome-user-guide-zh:
/usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-access-guide/zh_CN/gnome-access-guide.xml
The gnome-access-guide LINK TARGET is not installed by ANY package:
$ dpkg -S
/usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/gnome-access-guide/zh_CN/gnome-access-guide.xml
dpkg:
/usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/gnome-access-guide/zh_CN/gnome-access-guide.xml
not found.
$ cd /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/gnome-access-guide/zh_CN/
bash: cd: /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/gnome-access-guide/zh_CN/: No such
file or directory
$ cd /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/gnome-access-guide/
bash: cd: /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/gnome-access-guide/: No such file or
directory
$ cd /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/
Even though I have what would seem to be the right lang packs installed:
$ apt-cache policy language-pack-gnome-zh
language-pack-gnome-zh:
Installed: 1:10.04+20091218

IN SUMMARY: the lang packs are not installing the localized gnome content for
at least this topic.
