All this has now been fixed upstream. You can disregard the previous patches I've polluted this bug report with. The attached patch is a concatenation of the applicable upstream commits. It includes:
* Translations are no longer merged into the .policy files * 'gettext-domain="systemd"' added to the .policy files * The ninja() call in debian/rules (so far only in Debian git) now extracts strings also from the .policy files. I suppose that this patch should better be committed to Debian. (And no need any longer from a systemd POV to consider a change of the policykit-1 packaging.) ** Patch added: "upstream-translation-fixes.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1707898/+attachment/5058025/+files/upstream-translation-fixes.patch ** No longer affects: policykit-1 (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1707898 Title: systemd translations are not synced with upstream To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/systemd/+bug/1707898/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
