GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 119280
Translation does not work for the "Starting %s" string
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The label text of the "Starting XXX" in the task list on the panel doens't get translated even though a translation exists in the messages catalogs. Some experimenting reveals that this probably is the result of a missing call to the textdomain() function before gettext() is called (defined to _() in the actual code) since I can get the message translated with the attached UglyPatch^tm. Someone with better understanding than me on where to add the proper textdomain() call should do that instead of just applying the patch.
Created attachment 18967 [details] [review] use dcgettext() instead of _() when setting the "Starting %s" label
Bumping severity to normal, this is a fairly visible string.
I can no longer reproduce this problem with gnome-desktop-2.4.0-1 from fedora core 1, and it seems to be fixed upstream as no patch is included in the src rpm related to this. If anyone can verify this I suppose this should be closed as FIXED
Please re-open if it turns out hasn't been fixed
