Bug ID: 437740
Summary: Discover is missing many translation in application's
description
Product: Discover
Version: 5.21.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: tyson...@tysontan.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Discover is not showing a considerable amount of the translations for
application's description. I don't know about the situation of other languages,
but almost all Simplified Chinese translations have been missing, despite being
fully translated for years. As far as I know, none of the appdata/.desktop
translation after 2018 is being used in Discover (I personally re-translated
most of them since 2018).
For example, GIMP has all proper Chinese translation in its description, but
Krita has not. Breeze has Chinese description but it's stuck with an ancient
version.
Since all application icons and kde.org's application page
https://apps.kde.org/ is currently using the lastest appdata/.desktop
translation, I assume translation has been properly collected to KDE
localization SVN.
I suspect it is either Discpver not loading translations, or there is something
wrong in KDE's appstream/appdata/.desktop workflow that fails to pass our newer
translation to upstream.
Breeze in particular, never has the new translation for the appdata name
"Breeze" used in ANY KDE applications, including Plasma.
This is likely not an isolated issue just for Chinese locale. If you use other
languages, I recommend you look for appdata that translated after 2018 -- they
might still have not been used.
I have tested it under Kubuntu and Archlinux. The situation is similar.
