Untranslated strings in ubufox

i am happy to accept translation contributions for ubufox. If you want to contribute ping me in #ubuntu-mozillateam IRC channel on irc.freenode.net or drop a note here.

Attached is a translation of the locale/en-US directory for Finnish (fi). However, I didn't find the following strings in there:
"installer" (after "Adobe Flash Player" text)
"Install additional software?"
"Do you want to install the package XXX"

I think the directory should be locale/fi-FI instead. However, even if using that and building + installing the resulting new ubufox package, I still don't see any stuff translated in the locale directory (Launchpad link strings in Help menu, Ubufox extension description in Extensions dialog or "Choose a plugin for media type").

Ah, well, I also found that the properties file should use escaped unicode, so using that now. I tried changing the en-US dir with the now-attached fi-FI dir, which worked and I got those strings translated!

But if I don't overwrite the en-US directory, I can't seem to get the translations working even though fi-FI locale is also installed by the deb package. Is the locale being set correctly?

Adding:

locale ubufox fi-FI locale/fi-FI/

to chrome.manifest helped! Thanks, asac. Modified file attached.

Here are the both as a patch.

i committed this to my local branch. We will at least do one ubufox upload; this bug will be fixed in there.

Russian translation of
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubufox/ubufox_0.4~beta1.orig.tar.gz

There is updated chrome.manifest (you will have to merge it with yours 'cause there is also fi-FI translation which I did not download) and locale\ru-RU folder.
Let me know if you update the source and need translations of new strings or if something goes wrong.

Could hardy (at least) have an upload where the Finnish and Russian translations would be included? Of course gutsy-updates (via gutsy-proposed) would be welcome too, but not absolutely necessary.

please apply this patch too

Here's updated Finnish translation as a patch against current bzr. No translation has yet been included in the ubufox main development tree.

Putting back to "Confirmed", since the locales are not included in the bzr yet.

It would be nice if this was translatable via Launchpad...

The content of the .dtd and .properties files is quite strange... Is there only 4 strings (entities) to translate? and why "Hello World !" (sounds like a programming exercise ;-) ) in the .properties file?

ok, ubufox 0.5~beta2-0ubuntu1 contains the translations for fi-FI and ru-RU (which i could merge from a bzr branch).

i oversaw the hungarian translation though. can someone create a branch based on https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~asac/ubufox/main for that?

Thanks,
 - Alexander

I added fr-FR and fr-CA translations to bzr branch https://code.launchpad.net/~saivann/ubufox/fr-FR-fr-CA

All translations inside this bug report are now in the main branch of ubufox except the hungarian but I will take care of this personally. Setting status to Fix Committed. I will send a email to all ubuntu translation mailing list for the missing translations. Thanks for your contribution!

Hi. Thanks, but reopening: could you update the Finnish translation with the one in my comment from 2008-02-12. The current merged one was from a branch that had it in October, lacking URLs and thus breaking showing home page.

Timo Jyrinki : Thanks, I will make sure that your latest translation is merged soon.

Hi!

I just got the notice from the mailing lists.

Here are the translated files for basque (eu-ES).

Regards

Mikl Pascual Aldabaldetraku : Thank you very much, your translations will be merged into ubufox.

I noticed that you did not change

file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html
for
file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales/index-eu.html

I changed it for you. Please tell me if for any reason I should set back these URLs to the generic english one.

Oh
You're right. I missed that.

Thanks for pointing it out.

To make it easier, here's the Finnish (fi-FI) translation diff against current bzr main branch.

(also deleted obsolete 3 attachments)

Timo Jyrinki : Thanks you. I'm waiting to have more translations before I create a new branch and contact Alexander Sack to merge these branches.

Hi,

here is cs-CZ ubuntu.dtd

and here ubufox.properties cs-CZ

Thank your very much. I replaced

file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html
by
file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales/index-cs_CZ.html

to use the correct welcome page. Thanks!
