Migrate from Intltool to Gettext (11.46 KB, patch)

Description Iñigo Martínez 2017-09-25 17:14:17 UTC
Recent versions of Gettext are able to translate several formats that are used in GNOME applications, so there is really no need anymore to use intltool or GLib’s dated gettext glue.

Migrate from Intltool to Gettext

This patch migrates translations from intltool to gettext. It depends on meson build port patch as it uses meson's i18n module.

Thanks for pointing me the bug. It noticed it when I was just creating this bug, however I wasn't fully aware of the problem with japanese translations. I've been doing some tests with some different locales (ja_JP.utf8, zh_TW.utf8 and es_ES.utf8) and it seems to work properly. I have also taken some screenshots[0].

This patch applies only to `network-manager-applet` package and it depends on the meson port. It doesn't migrate autotools as I tried to avoid it in case it's removed someday. Any of these may be the reason why it is working properly.

That’s actually https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787382, unrelated to anything here.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. 
We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
