Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: language-pack-kde-fr-base
* Config : Kubuntu 9.04
* Symptoms :
- Everything is fine when the languages are set to FR / EN : all is correcty
translated into French.
- When setting the languages as FR / DE / EN in KDE (French first), a few
German words appear where French was correct before!
- At second sight, only French words identical to English words are set to
German!!
I'll take kmail as an example although the problem is in many places :
&Message (same word in French as in English) becomes &Nachricht
&Urgent becomes &Dringend
&Options becomes &Optionen
* Some clues
The translation is in kmail.mo, which is found in package
language-pack-kde-fr-base (version 1:9.04+20090413.1
). This .mo does NOT contain the French translations of theses words (so it is
logical that German appears)!
The source kmail.po exists in the SOURCE packages of
- language-pack-kde-fr-base (seems to come from Launchpad, and does NOT contain
the problematic words)
- kde-l10n-fr (seems to come from upstream, and contains the words identical in
French and English).
I'll add:
- Same problem found with French/Chinese/English setup
- I can't test anymore, but I'd bet the problem was there in KDE 3.5 in ubuntu
8.04 (random German words here and there)
- So this does not seem to be a problem of coherence between Launchpad and
upstream, but more internally of Ubuntu.
- Problem is confirmed by the kde-fr translation team, but the problem does not
lie in KDE itself...
Thanx!
