The ubuntuone-client needs to create a POT template on build

Thank you for the bug report David. I'm assigning to one of our developers so they can address this. Thank you, Joshua

Here is the updated POT file. Sorry for the bug. I should have guessed it would happen when I fixed the menus bug. Thanks.

I was about to import the new template, but I've noticed that the strings referred to in bug 449269 are not in the template.

It seems that these strings are not extracted from bin/ubuntuone-client-applet:

                        P_("Ubuntu One finished updating %(total)d file.",
                           "Ubuntu One finished updating %(total)d files.",
                           self.__total) % { 'total' : self.__total })

The problems seems to be here:

P_ = gettext.ngettext

Either intltool or xgettext does not recognise P_ for extraction, although using:

ngettext = gettext.ngettext
ngettext("Ubuntu One finished updating %(total)d ...

or directly using gettext.ngettext("Ubuntu One finished updating %(total)d ... both seem to work (i.e. strings are extracted and put into the template).

As spoken with Rodney, I've filed a separate bug (bug 456578) for ngettext-marked strings not being picked up on extraction. I will not upload the template manually, but rather wait for this to be fixed properly in the package, which most probably happen after release (i.e. for Lucid).

Accepted ubuntuone-client into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

did 'apt-get source ubuntuone-client' from -proposed

in the source folder

'./configure'

noted that the po/POTFILES rules and contents are acted on

'make dist'

noted that the tarball created includes the requisite files.

Meant to indicate that my earlier test results meant "success"

Hi Rick,

The bug has been fixed, but just for the record, this was about the template not being generated by the .deb package on build, not about the source tarball creating a template. Here's how a package can be tested for compliance with Launchpad Translations (i.e. whether it creates a template or not):

Thanks for looking into this!
