Version: 0.9.3 (using KDE 4.4.5) OS: Linux When using Parley with a German locale, it fails to activate the Google images script. The error message is: ----------------------------- Ein Skript kann nicht aktiviert werden und ist deaktiviert worden. Dies bedeutet wahrscheinlich, dass das Skript Fehler enthält oder, dass die benötigten Pakete nicht installiert sind. /usr/share/kde4/apps/parley/plugins/google_images.py Details Fehler in Datei /usr/share/kde4/apps/parley/plugins/google_images.py bei Zeile 250: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) Rückverfolgung: File "/usr/share/kde4/apps/parley/plugins/google_images.py", line 250, in <module> action1.statusTip = str(i18n("Fetches an image for the selected translation")) ----------------------------- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Start Parley on a system running with a German locale Actual Results: Parley fails to activate the Google images script. Expected Results: Parley starts without any error message
Confirmes in 4.6.2 (Kubuntu 10.10) and recent trunk + branch compiled from sources. Reason are the 'umlauts' in the german translation of "Fetches an image for the selected translation" - "Lädt ein Bild für die ausgewählte Übersetzung herunter". Changing action1.statusTip = str(i18n("Fetches an image for the selected translation")) to action1.statusTip = unicode(i18n("Fetches an image for the selected translation"),"latin1") in google_images.py I get rid of that error.
I had the same problem (in my case with Spanish locale) and your suggestion worked, so now I can enable the Google Images script. However, the script doesn't work. It appears a window in which I can write the word I want to look up, but when I push "Search", nothing happens.
Moved to the 'scripts' component
