Public bug reported:
Testing the latest Jaunty daily-live CD (20090324) I can see that the
.desktop files doesn't honour the X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain option, so the
applications shows incorrectly translated into Spanish.
For example, take a look at the "Printing" application (inside
System->Administration). Its .desktop file is /usr/share/applications
/system-config-printer.desktop, which contains (among other lines):
Name[es]=Imprimiendo
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=system-config-printer
("Imprimiendo" is an incorrect translation of "Printing")
and the corresponding .mo file is present:
/usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/system-config-printer.mo
which contains the correct translation for "Printing" (which is
"Impresoras", in Spanish):
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/system-
config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/552/+translate
However, the "Printing" application is shown as "Imprimiendo" instead of
"Impresoras". Obviously, GNOME is not using the .mo files when showing
an applications menu entry.
Please, take care of this problem, because it invalidates the work of
many translators.
