The ~timo-jyrinki/example-content/folder_i18n branch changes the Examples link into an examples.desktop file, which is of type Link and points to the folder. It uses gettext to get translations on-the-fly from langpacks, therefore fixing the bug #45489 for the case of after- installation for every Ubuntu user's home folder. The link on the Live- CD desktop probably comes from elsewhere.
At the same time, some of the content was moved around. The python usage here is a bit of an overkill, but it was the way I (thought I) knew how to make this work. The only hack needed was for installing the .desktop file under /etc while still using cdbs defaults otherwise. It's lintian clean and tested with pbuilder, and seems to work fine. I'm attaching a screenshot to the bug report of a situation where the examples.desktop is installed in /etc/skel (without translations), .mo files are in locale directories, a new user has been created and it has been logged in for the first time. I didn't use Icon=Folder, since it's actually after the ordinary folders and the icon in my opinion confused the user. So it's just the default link icon, which I'd prefer over also a folder icon with a link arrow on it since it looks wrong in the alphabetical order if it looks like a folder but is after other folders in the list. -- "Examples" folder link on Live CD desktop cannot be translated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
