Translation update for 0.4.1.1

easystroke (0.4.1.1-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Add French and Japanese translations (LP: #355251)

Hi,

I would like these changes in too, but I'd like to test easystroke under these
languages first, to check that they don't crash the app. However, I'm having
trouble launching easystroke in any language other than English.

Setting LANG to any locale doesn't change the language in the GUI when I
launch it from the command line, does this work for you? If you can give
me a reliable way to launch in a different locale that would be great.

Thanks,

James

Hi James,

In order to test other languages, I usually create the corresponding
locales as follows (this is good enough for testing but it won't
translate stock items unless you install the language pack)

sudo localedef -i fr_FR -f UTF-8 fr_FR
sudo localedef -i ja_JP -f UTF-8 ja_JP
sudo localedef -i es_ES -f UTF-8 es_ES

And then start the application as "LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 easystroke" etc.

I've attached an updated .debdiff that contains a few more translation
updates and fixes a bug where easystroke would cause the server to use
100% CPU when a second instance was started. The new behavior is to not
start the second instance and simply show the configuration window
instead, which is more in line with what people expect.

Hi Tom

That's what I was trying, and I can't get the interface to show
in either French or Spanish, so I'm not confident to upload this
change for final.

I'll ask to see if someone else can validate it, otherwise you
can try for an SRU for jaunty.

Thanks,

James

Weird. If easystroke finds a subdirectory po/ in the current
directory, it will try to get the translations from there instead of
the default location ($(PREFIX)/share/locale/), maybe that's the
problem? I realize this is not the safest assumption, but it makes
testing a lot easier and it's the best I can get out of the gettext
interface.

Hi,

Sorry that we didn't get this in, it may be appropriate for jaunty-updates.

The problem appeared to be that I was running from an unpacked but unbuilt
source, so it found ./po/, but there were no .mo files in there. I'm happy
with the first patch, but haven't tested the second yet.

Have you done a stable release update before?

Thanks,

James

Sorry for the late reply.

I don't really think the changes in this bug report warrant an SRU. However, I've recently become aware of a few more serious bugs. Most of them are fixed in 0.4.3 already, but the fix for one [1] currently only lives in git. The plan is to release 0.4.4 within the next few days and get it into karmic first, and then hopefully get an SRU for jaunty a couple weeks down the line after the code has been tested more thoroughly.

This bug was fixed in the package easystroke - 0.4.9-0ubuntu1
