Description Simos Xenitellis 2005-03-24 02:51:16 UTC 
gweather does not parse properly Locations.xml and consequently does not pick up
the translations from the leaf nodes of the XML tree.

This has been verified with at least four languages (see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2005-March/thread.html#00357).

The users have tried it with Ubuntu Linux (Hoary preview) which includes GNOME 2.10.

To test, enable a language for your system (it does not come by default), using
the package manager and adding the packages from the "translations" group.
Cities such as "London", "Athens" do not appear translated.

This can be better demonstrated with "New York". New York is a state and city.
In the Preferences of gweather where you choose the city, locate New York. You
will notice that as a state name, it's translated, however the same
message/string is shown untranslated when used as a city name.

I and another translator also see this problem, so looks like a global bug
regardless of locale.
Comment 2 Simos Xenitellis 2005-04-05 22:50:36 UTC 
Any chance this issue being solved in the following two to three weeks?

Having the city names in the local language is a nice eye-candy tool for the
localisation folks and distros start pushing their GNOME 2.10 distros out of the
door. 

Ubuntu releases tomorrow, though it's not so bad as for the language packs, one
needs a network connection, so an updated gnome-applets package can come latter.
SuSE ships DVD in mid-April, Fedora 4 comes in June...
Comment 3 Danielle Madeley 2005-04-06 03:36:00 UTC 
Simos, can you please recheck this with g-a 2.10.1 (now available in Hoary). The
new XML parser should fix these problems. It is meant to.
Comment 4 Simos Xenitellis 2005-04-06 17:08:53 UTC 
Just updated Hoary and verified that g-a was updated to 2.10.1.
Launched the applet (gweather) and I could see the cities in Greek.
Therefore, I consider that this bug report is resolved and I am closing it.

Thanks for resolving the issue promptly!
Comment 5 Vincent van Adrighem 2005-04-07 15:50:09 UTC 
I second that. Dutch is working in 2.10.1 (ubuntu)
