Description Sonyu Chen 2005-11-05 05:52:22 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.92)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.4 
OS:                Linux

When translating the status strings in the PO file, I found one strange thing. Translating some of "Offline", "Online", "Away", "Invisbile","Connecting" (commonly used string, not protocol specific) causes the select-status-in-some-protocol menu displays wrong translated strings.  Some are replaced by "Offline", and some are replaced by "Away."  But if I leave these common strings untranslated, the status strings in protocols are correct.  

To simplify the complexity, I make an experiment : I downloaded a new POT file from SVN, made necesarry changes, and only translated the five strings.  It yields:

Original        Displayed 
String          String (I type them in English here)    
==========      =============
(Yahoo)
01 Online    => Online
12 Invisible => Online
13 Offline   => Online
(MSN)
07 Invisible => untranslated Online
08 Offline   => untranslated Online

(Jabber)
02 Online    => Online
03 Away      => Online
07 Invisible => Online
08 Offline   => Online

(IRC)
01 Online    => Online
02 Away      => Online
03 Offline   => Online

(ICQ)
03 Away      => Online
07 Offline   => Online

(AIM)
01 Online    => Online
02 Away      => Away
03 Offline   => Offline

How do I solve this, thanks ^^

You forgot to specify in what language.
from the po file, i see this is Traditional Chinese

Bugs to zh_TW should be assigned to KDE I18N maintainers,
because the default assignee has left F/OSS community
several YEARS ago, and doesn't answer any report since then.

WRT comment #3: I've seen Jing-Jong Shyue contributing lately some translations, so he seems to be active again - and maybe could do something on that, too...

Comment 5 Franklin Weng 2007-07-06 02:32:09 UTC

Please reassign this bug to me.  I have been the coordinator of the zh_TW translation team since August 2006.

However I did not understand this bug very clearly.  The kopete's po file had been fully translated and updated.  Hope this problem has already solved.  If not, please give me a mail (you can use Chinese :D) describing the problem again, and I'll see what I can do.

So, if you do not see same phenomenon anymore, as described in the bug report, and reporter won't confirm either fixing or persisting, you may probably safely close the bug (after all, it's over 1,5 year old...)

Comment 7 Franklin Weng 2007-07-10 01:38:51 UTC

I think that this bug should have been fixed, but it seems that I don't have permissions to close this bug.  Maybe someone could help us with this.

Comment 8 Marek Laane 2007-07-10 23:51:29 UTC

Then closing as fixed...
