GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 773650
gnome-shell bluetooth status string is incomplete
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:07:26 UTC
Created attachment 338750 [details] gnome-shell master pot file There is a later added string to translate which from bluetooth applet, #: js/ui/status/bluetooth.js:138 msgid "Off" msgstr "" and a already exist string from network-manager, #. Translators: %s is a network identifier #: js/ui/status/network.js:451 js/ui/status/network.js:1308 #, javascript-format msgid "%s Off" msgstr "" These two strings don't quite match, if the first one can be change to "Bluetooth Off", this would be better.
Forget to mention another status string from bluetooth applet, #: js/ui/status/bluetooth.js:140 msgid "On" msgstr ""
Created attachment 346984 [details] gnome-shell-panel bluetooth status string In this case，the string should be "Bluetooth Off".
For context, the string was changed in bug 756432.
Is the problem that the string is not unique? Or that it's lacking a context? Or that it's one more string you have to translate?
There are several status items coexist in the panel, other components are using "device_name + status" template for indication, only the bluetooth component is using only one word "status" string. My expectation is that using the same template in gnome-shell panel for status indications of all device.
*** Bug 785639 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Changing back to new because it looks like Bastien's comment got a reply, I reported a bug about the string inconsistency which was marked as duplicate "Using gnome-shell 3.24 on Ubuntu, turning off wifi and bluetooth the corresponding indicator menu items are labeled "wifi off" and "off" (and not "bluetooth off")"
Would a patch changing the bluetooth string be fine there or is it blocked on design input?
(In reply to Sebastien Bacher from comment #8) > Would a patch changing the bluetooth string be fine there or is it blocked > on design input? Needs design input. (In reply to Florian Müllner from comment #3) > For context, the string was changed in bug 756432. That was the bug for "Not In Use" -> "On". The "Off" string was added in bug 723848, as before we just wouldn't show the menu item when the device was off.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
