l10n: Translations need to be updated

[clefebvre]

LP translations can't be downloaded right now.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1998037 https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1998616

This needs to be fixed or a workaround needs to be found before STABLE.

Progress

Edit: There's no sign of Launchpad getting fixed, so we're going to have to get these manually somehow. Here's a list of templates remaining:

Maybe Linux Mint translation should start using other translation platforms like Transifex or Weblate...

[clefebvre]

The community of translators on LP is doing a fantastic job.

[hugok79]

Yes it is. I translate the Portuguese language https://translations.launchpad.net/linuxmint/latest/+lang/pt But I also translate mate and xfce at Transifex. Which is why I mentioned this alternative to Launchpad.

Please also correct the spelling mistake in the German translation, which has crept in since at least Mint 21. In the display settings "Bildschirmscalierung" should be written "Bildschirmskalierung" with "k". See second image in the following issue: https://github.com/linuxmint/mint21.1-beta/issues/33. Thanks.

[clefebvre]

Timeshift has no new msgids since Mint 21 so this one is OK.

[clefebvre]

Same for xed, xviewer, xreader.

[clefebvre]

OK, we've got translations for cinnamon-session and cinnamon-screensaver...

The only remaining templates we can't download translations for yet are:

• cinnamon
• cinnamon-control-center
• nemo

I'm going to try and force a regeneration of their PO files in Launchpad by modifying the POT and their internal path. We can then hopefully get them via Bzr.

I tried downloading them even with just a few languages (down to just 3) and even that fails :(

[hugok79]

I can download those 3 .po or .mo files from Launchpad... Can I help in any way?

[clefebvre]

Where do you get them from @hugok79 ? Can you give me a link?

[hugok79]

From Launchpad. The .po files: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/639798768/cinnamon_cinnamon-pt.po https://launchpadlibrarian.net/639798769/cinnamon-control-center_cinnamon-control-center-pt.po https://launchpadlibrarian.net/639798770/nemo_nemo-pt.po

The .mo files: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/639798861/pt_LC_MESSAGES_cinnamon.mo https://launchpadlibrarian.net/639798865/pt_LC_MESSAGES_cinnamon-control-center.mo https://launchpadlibrarian.net/639798875/pt_LC_MESSAGES_nemo.mo

Or if you want I can forward you the emails I received from Launchpad to your email, if you want

[clefebvre]

Ah ok, I understand. No that works for me too... I can download individual languages one by one. This would be super tedious though. I'm going to try the bzr method.

[clefebvre]

OK, it looks like it worked, I think we're going to be OK.

[jakoblm]

Looks good. Thanks. Only one German translation was overlooked: In Nemo, "Path Bar" and "Location Entry" should be translated into German. See also picture 4 in the following issue: https://github.com/linuxmint/mint21.1-beta/issues/33.
