I use Amarok on Kubuntu 12.10. I correctly installed language-pack-kde-fr and kde-l10n-fr. All KDE is translated but unfortunately not Amarok. Reproducible: Always
This was due to the French translation not being read for release, this is hopefully will be fixed for the next release.
Ok, good to know.
Any hope to backport the translation to amarok 2.6 ? I don't understand why it's not present in 2.6 as the changes in the interface are not very large.
Amarok is nearly fully translated (97%): http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kde4/team/fr/extragear-multimedia/ It is up to distro makers to package it. You can download amarok.po file (see previous link), and create language file by yourself with the following command : msgfmt -o amarok.mo amarok.po The amarok.mo file should be copied in /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ or whereveer your distro put amarok.mo file. Hope that help/ Regards
