Description Gil Forcada 2008-09-10 19:09:47 UTC
Hi,

Haven't seen any bug filled about this (thought my skills at searching in b.g.o sucks) if there's one, sorry!

We have translations of timezone data and countries in several modules, why we (translators) have to do the same in Evolution again? :(

Don't make us cry :'(
Comment 1 André Klapper 2008-09-10 20:53:04 UTC
dup of bug 352287?
Comment 2 Gil Forcada 2008-09-11 00:02:10 UTC
Yes, weather locations, but I also see timezones, so the more strings we pull off Evolution less pain for translators will be.

Any evolution dev around? :)
Comment 3 Gil Forcada 2009-01-14 00:43:35 UTC
Now that #352287 is fixed seems "the-same" to reuse the translations in libgweather to use the countries.

I'm looking at:
addressbook/gui/contact-editor/e-contact-editor-address.c

Anyone wants to make lots of translators happy? :D

This bug report is closely related to #559039.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

Milan, I won't undo your dup without your consent, but I really disagree with you. Bug 34996 refers to country names, and this bug is about timezone names. AFAIK, the iso-codes packages doesn't provide timezone names, as Clytie stated in

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304996#c24

I believe this is a duplicate of bug 559039, I don't know why didn't I mark as such in the past.

Oh, my fault, I misunderstood it, I'm sorry. I'm reopening it.

Maybe because the other was added later, so it should be marked as a duplicate of this.

Just a note that libgweather is a soft dependency, evolution(-data-server) can be built without it.

The timezone names being translated are provided by libical, another library, whose names might not match those in libgweather or isocodes or any other. The timezone names use slashes and underscores, because it's how they are provided by the libical. What the translator offers to the user depends on the translator, I do not see any limitation in this regard.
Comment 11 André Klapper 2021-05-19 12:28:16 UTC
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 (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/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
