GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 754928
Broken .ui translations
Last modified: 2015-09-14 03:27:03 UTC
Recent changes to .ui files converted all translatable="yes" to translatable="1". The latter is not recognized by any tools, so translations are not getting picked up.
what tools are we talking about ? The parser that defines the GtkBuilder file format is ... GtkBuilder, which has always accepted y, Y, true, True, 1 and some other variations.
./make-pot produces a POT file without most of the .ui files' strings included, both on my computer and on damned-lies: https://l10n.gnome.org/POT/gtk+.master/gtk+.master.pl.po
