Incorrect import of translations

Converting from a bug to a question, since it's a request rather than a bug report.

This question was also opened on launchpad-users mailinglist

Here is my response:

Павло Славинський , please get in touch with Ubuntu Ukrainian translators.
https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-uk

They can fix this problem.

I have contacted Serhij February 14, he answered that he would contact Michael Vogt to fix it (possible incorrect encoded attachment with the translation).

Thus the problem should be fixed by the following import from the upstream.

Ubuntu Ukrainian translators is very anarchic so it cannot be fixed by applying to this group (IMHO).

Hi yurchor and thanks for the update!

Sometimes Ubuntu developers are quite busy, and this is why Ubuntu translation teams are granted „commit” right for translations.

This problem can be solved by any member of Ubuntu Ukrainian translation team.

Yurchor, it looks like you are a member of Ubuntu Ukrainian translation team.

Can you please try to upload a correct translation file?

Kindest regards,
Adi

Hi Adi,

I am neither translation owner nor even Ubuntu user, but I can ask Serhij to upload his translation.

BTW it's very ordinary thing on LP. Some time ago developer (LT) vandalize my kpackagekit translation (I'm KDE Ukrainian coordinator), so I have to reupload it form KDE l10n. You need more QA for side uploads.

Best regards,
Yuri

In http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/synaptic/lucid/revision/88?start_revid=88#po/uk.po already fixed.
I've installed/reinstalled synaptic 0.63.1ubuntu1 uk translation is broken there and look like http://2img.org.ua/images/f84d1d3553d26ec3b27ebc5910bb606c.png.

Someone else can verify this?

Hi Banza,

The translation were only fixed recently and they did not reached the Langauge package updates.

To test the translations please make a download request for a MO Format file from here
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/synaptic/+pots/synaptic/uk/+export

Then replace the synaptic.mo file from /usr/share/locale-langpack/uk/LC_MESSAGES/ with the download file.

Start synaptic again and see if the problem is fixed.

Cheers

'????' gone. Thanks, problem fixed.

Hi Banza,

Was this solved by manualy downloading the MO file or the fix is done via system updates?

Manual replacement of synaptic.mo help to fix it. And now i've delete synaptic.mo then reinstall ukrainian language(uk) support and synaptic.mo(good) was recovered.
Now synaptic (uk lang) seems ok.

Hi Yuri,

I now understand that you are referring to bug 534915 [1]. First of all
thanks for reporting this. In the future, though, I'd like to ask you to
try to post different bug or different requests separately, and with as
much information as possible.

Having different issues mixed in the same request makes it very
difficult for those who want to solve them to track and understand them.

Thanks!

Regards,
David.
