Description Burkhard Lück 2019-11-22 05:27:37 UTC

SUMMARY

Only a few strings in the gui probably coming from Qt are translated, most strings are not translated in german with a complete translation of the catalog.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KBibtex

OBSERVED RESULT
Many untranslated strings

EXPECTED RESULT
A fully translated gui

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Ubuntu 19.04
KBibTeX Version 0.8.1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: Qt 5.12.2 (kompiliert gegen 5.12.2)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

See also https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414375, the proposed patch should fix this issue als well, but that is not tested.
I guess all other versions of kbibtext up to master are also affected

Comment 1 Thomas Fischer 2019-11-25 18:14:31 UTC

Strange that you observe so many untranslated strings. There are people working on translations for many languages and I have not received any other such reports in recent years.

However, I made a change to the translation system in KBibTeX triggered by bug 414375 in commit 84c5042c79d14667c5d9cd6 for 'master' branch. That may fix the problem for you. Please test and confirm.

Comment 2 Burkhard Lück 2019-11-26 05:13:00 UTC

Ubuntu 19.04 Disco KBibTeX Version 0.8.1
no translations in ubuntu packages
https://download.kde.org/stable/KBibTeX/0.8.1/kbibtex-0.8.1.tar.xz has translations
-> ubuntu packaging error

up to date neon with KBibTeX Version 0.10.50 - fully translated

Fixing a crash that apparently is connected to a failed translation
of a string as reported in bug 414375.

Burkhard Lück <lueck@hube-lueck.de> provided a patch to CMakeLists.txt
which should fix this problem.

In addition to Burkhard's patch, a GUI issue was fixed so that empty
strings are not attempted to be translated leading to placeholder
messages shown instead of just nothing.

This commit is a backport from master's commit 84c5042c79d14667c5d9cd.
