Description Dan Winship 2008-04-02 13:39:40 UTC 
The state of Louisiana is consistently misspelled "Lousiana" in Locations.xml.

Attached patch fixes Locations.xml, and updates the .po files where appropriate to prevent needless fuzzification. That is:

  1. In cases where the .po previously translated "Lousiana" to "Lousiana",
     I updated both msgid and msgstr.

  2. In cases where the .po previously translated "Lousiana" to a string
     that matches the name of the corresponding non-English-wikipedia
     article linked from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana, I updated
     the msgid and left the msgstr untouched. (fr.po was an extra special
     case in that the translator managed to copy the misspelling while
     translating the name, so I fixed both msgid and msgstr.)

  3. In the remaining po files (mostly Indian languages), I didn't do anything,
     because I couldn't tell if they'd transliterated the right spelling or the
     wrong one, so the string ought to become fuzzy.

Then I tried to run "make update-po", but apparently the po-locations dir is
not make-update-po-able...

updated patch to fix Louisiana without breaking string freeze

ok, previous patch is no good because it breaks string freeze. this redoes it to update all of the msgid lines, while leaving the uncertain msgstr lines as they are; if this is accepted, I'll send mail to gnome-i18n-list alerting the relevant translations teams that they may have mis-transliterated the string

I've asked on gnome-i18n if we can commit.
Comment 5 Dan Winship 2008-05-29 15:27:50 UTC 
we should probably just commit this to trunk and forget about 2.22.x at this point
Comment 6 André Klapper 2008-05-29 16:29:00 UTC 
+1 - fix the original string in trunk and fix the en_* translations in stable
Comment 7 Vincent Untz 2008-05-29 16:41:08 UTC 
Yep, go for it, but it's probably better to not touch the translations (unless you can get approval on gnome-i18n).
Comment 8 Dan Winship 2008-05-29 17:47:17 UTC 
OK, committed the fix to just Locations.xml.in on trunk.
