timezone translations fail to respect LINGUAS
Last modified: 2012-02-14 11:02:49 UTC
intltool-using applications are expected to honor the LINGUAS environment variable for translations when configuring and building from source. For example, if LINGUAS="en ru", then only the English and Russian versions of translated messages, schemas, etc. should be built. g-c-c's main translation build system in po/ does honor LINGUAS because it uses intltool's standard Makefile.in.in. However, panels/datetime/po-timezones/ uses a custom Makefile.am that completely ignores LINGUAS.
Created attachment 207516 [details] [review] proposed patch This patch adapts the logic from intltool's Makefile.in.in to ensure that the value of LINGUAS is respected in panels/datetime/po-timezones/ (Note that intltool's Makefile.in.in also considers the value of the obsolete ALL_LINGUAS variable, which in 2012 can IMHO be safely ignored.)
