Modules not translatable

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hello all,

It looks like a verification should be made on all Compiz modules to verify if they are translatable.

I would like to help to translate Ezoom, show mouse, negative and color filter for example.

Best regards.

Indeed, for instance, "Enhanced Zoom Desktop" (the name of the ezoom plugin) appears in fr.po, but it is not translated on the ccsm panel, while others are, for instance "Opacity, Brightness and Saturation" (the name of the obs plugin)

Dear all,

What I can do to help you to figure out this issue ? I'm in process of translating Compiz for downstream repository but how can I push my change upstream ?

Best regards.

Hello,

The files for these plugins are indeed missing in POTFILES.in. I have pushed then i18n-plugins-a11y branch that adds just them, and i18n-plugins which just adds the missing .xml.in files for all plugins (not sure why they were not added for all plugins already)
