update-manager's translation template is very likely not up to date again

I'm being told it's a bug in the auto-approver from the Launchpad 3.0 rollout, which caused the Ubuntu imports to be disabled, which in turn caused the new template of update-manager to be put on hold. If this is the case I will close this bug, we'll wait and see.

After having checked the imports queue, I can confirm that the template was imported before the imports were disabled in Launchpad. I've also checked the imported template against the one created on package build and they are identical.

This means that:
 a) the template is being correctly created upon build and
 b) that it is up to date in Launchpad.

It might be possible that the untranslated strings either come from other packages or have not been marked for translation in update-manager.

Tomasz, could you please point out to the strings not being translated in Polish?

This should give you a rough idea about what I mean:

Don't mind the "Settings..." button, I've noticed it's now available for translation again. The rest appear problematic though. Especially the small window with the progress bar and the main strings at the top of the main window.

@Tomasz:
I think that the small screenshot is taking the stringhs from aptdaemon, not update-manager. But I'm not 100% sure.

True, I've just gone through it. It would seem that the only issue is the two big strings at the top of the main window.

Here's more: http://imgur.com/8bRBe.png

Notice "selected" and "Download size" as well.

* "Distribution updates"
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/ca/281/+translate
The template in Launchpad is ok, the exported translation from the language-pack-pl package as well:

#: ../UpdateManager/Core/UpdateList.py:66
msgid "Distribution updates"
msgstr "Aktualizacje dystrybucji"

* "Your system is up-to-date"
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/pl/167/+translate
The template in Launchpad is ok, the exported translation from the language-pack-pl package as well:

#: ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeView.py:289 ../UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:482
msgid "Your system is up-to-date"
msgstr "System jest w pełni zaktualizowany"

* "The package information was last updated %s hour ago"
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/pl/237/+translate
The template in Launchpad is ok, the exported translation from the language-pack-pl package as well:

#: ../UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:468
#, python-format
msgid "The package information was last updated %s hour ago."
msgid_plural "The package information was last updated %s hours ago."
msgstr[0] "Informacje o pakietach zaktualizowano %s godzinę temu"
msgstr[1] "Informacje o pakietach zaktualizowano %s godziny temu."
msgstr[2] "Informacje o pakietach zaktualizowano %s godzin temu."

So it seems update-manager is not loading the strings in the last 3 cases. Could this be related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574520?

* "Updating cache"
This one seems to come from aptdaemon:
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/aptdaemon/+pots/aptdaemon/pl/34/+translate

* "Downloading packages"
I still haven't located this one, it doesn't seem to be in update-manager

From the latest screenshot:

"Software updates are available for this computer"
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/pl/242/+translate

#: ../UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:500
msgid "Software updates are available for this computer"
msgstr "Dostępne są aktualizacje oprogramowania"

"If you don't want to..."
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/pl/243/+translate

#: ../UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:501
msgid ""
"If you don't want to install them now, choose \"Update Manager\" from the "
"Administration menu later."
msgstr ""
"Można zainstalować je później, wybierając pozycję \"Menedżer aktualizacji\" "
"z menu Administracja."

Again, this shows that at least the strings are correctly imported (present in the Launchpad template and translated) and exported (present in the pl.po file from the language-pack-pl source package).

I guess this handful of strings should be enough to investigate the problem. The next steps could now be checking if the translations are also in the installed .mo file of the binary language-pack-pl package at /usr/share/locale-langpack/pl/LC_MESSAGES/update-manager.mo. If they are, update-manager is not loading them correctly (again, due to the number of packages hitting this lately, a guess would be http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574520)

I can confirm the problem. Its a bit mysterious, because when the app starts a:
    print _("Software updates are available for this computer")
will return a translated string.

But a bit later its untranslated. So something seems to meddle with gettext in between.

UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:
...
    self.install_backend = backend.backend_factory(self.window_main)
...
this line kills the i18n

It turns out that aptdaemon/enum.py contains:

gettext.textdomain("aptdaemon")

This gets included in the client and so the gettext domain goes wrong from that point on.

This is fixed, but its not accepted for beta so it will go in right after beta

This bug was fixed in the package aptdaemon - 0.10+bzr242-0ubuntu2

---------------
aptdaemon (0.10+bzr242-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/mvo-branch.patch:
    - updated to include fix for gettext fiddling (LP: #438077)
