Help with strange error in smolt.master-smoon.messages.po

[Rui Gouveia]

Hi,

In the file smolt.master-smoon.messages.po, in the line:

#: hardware/templates/deviceclass.html:19
#, python-format
msgid "% hosts detected ${type}"
msgstr "% máquinas detectadas ${type}"

I get this error:

$ msgfmt -c smolt.master-smoon.messages.po
smolt.master-smoon.messages.po:44: 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format 
string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character 
'm' is not a valid conversion specifier.

I already tried:

msgstr "máquinas detectadas ${type}"
and
msgstr "máquinas detectadas"

with no results.

Right now the strings is fuzzy (it's the last one).

Does anybody understands what's going on?


Thank You

I haven't had a chance to dig into it, but maybe it's because the
original string should be:

"%s hosts detected ${type}"

The "%s" indicates a string format.  With no character after the "%"
the gettext library is confused.

Seems to be a bug in the source code.
In python 2.6, the {} markup was introduced. The % was used previously.
It seems somebody forgotten to delete the % when updating the source code.

Anyway, the package smolt-server-1.2-4.2.fc11.noarch.rpm has the string
/usr/share/smolt/smoon/hardware/templates/deviceclass.html:        <th
valign="top" width="25%">${_("% hosts detected ")}
${type}</th>

which means the .pot file is outdated, the string  "%s hosts detected
${type}" will never be used.

The actual string would also confuse gettext library.

kind regards

Thanks for this info Domingo -- I am not yet up on all the 2.6 changes
so I'm happy someone else around here knows what he's talking
about. :-)

However, its kind of strange that quite a few languages show 100% translation 
completion and evidently the .po files have made through the msgfmt error 
checks. I got the same error with the bn_IN file (currently with 3 untranslated 
entries). When I downloaded the completed pt_BR.po and ran the msgfmt check.. it 
passed. What am I missing here? Gettext version in use for this particular test 
was 0.16.1.

Thanks

I got the same error with the gu-IN file, Right now i kept strings as it 
is thats
why it is showing 100% translations in the gu-IN file.
Please look into it, There might be problem in the source code

Thanks,

I understand that the original string means "percentage of hosts
detected". If that's it, maybe the translation should be "%% máquinas
detectadas", since to write '%' on screen the percentage character
must be escaped. Anyway, it looks like a bug in the original string.
Alternativeley, remove the #,python-format tag.

Regards!
