Some PA strings are not translated in the Gnome Sound Properties window

[kelemeng]

There are some user visible strings in the Gnome Sound Preferences window, that are from PA and altough they are translated in PA's po file, they do not show up translated: http://people.ubuntu.com/~kelemeng/pix/soundprefs.png

These are the device descriptions shown in the Hardware, Input and Output tabs, in the Choose a device... fields and in the dropdown lists.

Attached patch fixes this problem: http://people.ubuntu.com/~kelemeng/pix/soundprefs-fixed.png

Simple patch to call gettext on array elements

Mark two strings for translation, these are visible there too

Hi there.

Thanks loads for the translation work. It's much appreciated. If you get the chance, can you submit them via the Transiflex service. This is how translations are handled and dished out to the community in PA so as to avoid duplication and streamline the process etc!

If you are not able to do this, then please let us know and someone will do it manually for you.

Replying to coling:

I'm not able to submit code patches via Transifex, because it was invented for handling translations, not source code. So yes, please push them manually :).

Cool, no worries. It may take a while as I'll need to work out how to merge in the latest transiflex stuff reliably first then apply your patch then push both out... not done that before, but I'll prod the folk that do so I can learn :D

In theory, Transifex is fully automatic, so you don't have to do anything with it. If you commit new strings to the repository, Transifex updates it's copy of the repository and generates updated po files for us, also when we update them, it commits the files to the upstream repository, so you don't have to worry about it. This is why many developers like and use it :).

But: this problem has nothing to do with translation files. The problem is that strings are translated in the po files, but the program does not pick them up. First patch fixes this, see also: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Special-cases

The second is just some more strings that are forgotten to mark for translation (the Input and Output words on my first screenshot after "Analog Stereo") - I was just lazy to open another ticket.

I'm just now quite sure where the transiflex branch master-tx currently stands vs. master. I know it needs a merge, but I've not done that yet.... Anyway, I should have read your patches first before assuming they were plain translations :) Will try and take a look soon :D

Gah, s/now/not/... pah! Go-go-gadget opposite-meaning-typo

Applied in stable-queue. This will be part of the next release.
