Using the plasma applet to update packages I found untranslated messages. Searching the system I found that these messages should come from plasma_applet_kdeobservatory.mo. Searching the svn repository for a file plasma_applet_kdeobservatory.pot I found this file is not present. So apparently at least this file is not presented for translation. The po file is present in kde-l10n-nl-16.08.0.tar.xz, but the last translation is from 2010, where the pot file is from 2014. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: The system should present this file for translation. Maybe other pot files are missing as well.
kdeobservatory hasn't existed in years. That pot should definitely not be used. What messages are missing and where? Please reopen this bug when you reply, thanks.
It may be a problem with the openSUSE distribution. I have the problem at least in the Tumbleweed version. I found the missing message in /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_kdeobservatory.mo, which comes with the package kde-l10n-nl-16.08.0-1.2.noarch. I inspected the build system where this package is build and found it comes from a tar file kde-l10n-nl-16.08.0.tar.xz. I assume this comes from the KDE project. I inspected that tar file and found the mentioned po file in it. So at least the bug is that this po file should not be included anymore. The question arises also, whether other files should be excluded there as well. To answer your question about the missing message or rather a message with a typo which has been fixed in the po file quite some time ago. I found that one in /usr/share/locale-bundle/nl/LC_MESSAGES/pkupdates.mo. Which comes from the package bundle-lang-kde-nl-13.2-30.1.noarch. I inspected the building system which generates this package, but this one is too complicated to find why this system is not using the more up-to-date po file. So I will first file a bug report in openSUSE about using not-up-to-date po files to generate this package.
Ok, thanks for reporting back.
I raised the issue downstream in openSUSE, but the answer from there is that it is unclear how the KDE project provides the newest versions of translations to downstream distributors. Could you enlighten me on that?
The file plasma_applet_kdeobservatory.po is still in kde-l10n-nl-16.08.0.tar.xz from the download site of kde.org. Should it be removed?
the giant translation bundles contain translations for all KDE software - including stuff that you happen to not be using. I don't understand what you think the problem is.

The problem is that plasma_applet_kdeobservatory is obsolete. So it should not end up in the giant bundle anymore.
Moving to the translations bug tracker. (we don't supply that translation file in Plasma)

Too old to keep it open.
