GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 523147
"space" keyname is not marked for translation
Last modified: 2008-03-19 05:54:25 UTC
On the orca-list, Attila mentioned that he would still hear the English word "space" with key echo in a Hungarian locale even after he had done a 100% translation of the Hungarian po file for Orca. With some debugging, it turns out that key echo will send on the key event string to speech if it cannot find a pronunciation in keynames.py. There is no translation for "space" in keynames.py, so it is being passed on to speech as is.
Created attachment 107526 [details] [review] Patch to add _("space") to keynames.py This patch adds the following lines to keynames.py: +# Translators: this is the spoken word for the space character +# +__keynames["space"] = _("space") + Since _("space") is already used in chnames.py and default.py, this should not count as a string freeze break for GNOME 2.20.x. The comment for translators also comes from chnames.py and default.py so as not to introduce a new translation comment. Attila, can you please test?
Of course Will, thank you the patch.
I am tested your patch, working fine with orca 2.22-1 pre version and orca-2.23-pre version.
Thanks for testing! Committed to both trunk and gnome-2-22 branch.
Will, I would like thank you you fix this bug. Attila
