Subject: debian-installer: georgian text mode fails to render all characters

Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 11:22:30 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

openQA just noticed that the rendering of certain characters just changed,
highlighting the fact that the rendering was already broken.

For example the prompt for the hostname:

msgid "Please enter the hostname for this system."
msgstr "გთხოვთ შეიყვანოთ კომპიუტერის სახელი."

gets displayed as something like:

   გთ_ოვთ შეი_ვანოთ კომპიუტერის სა_ელი."

so it looks like it's failing to deal with at least these characeters:

  https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+10EE
and
  https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+10E7

In the past the _'s would have appeared as blanks, whereas now they are inverted
and show as blue squares (which is an improvement, since this makes it obvious
that something's wrong, and also caused openQA to notice the change)

The old look can be seen here:

  https://openqa.debian.net/tests/69846#step/hostname/1

The new look here:

  https://openqa.debian.net/tests/69954#step/hostname/2

and I'll attach screenshots of the same (for when the links rot)

Cheers, Phil.

Hi Phil,

thanks for bringing this up.

To be more precise here:
- this only affects the text installer; rendering in graphical installer seems fine;
- Georgian started to be available for the text installer in debian 10, and some
  research showed, that this issue is there from that beginning (debian 10).

Since noone noticed this for years, maybe we can go with a workaround to
disable Georgian for the text installer (if noone finds the real solution
for this).

As a workaround, I have now disabled Georgian in the text installer for now:

The solution is simply to add the required characters in
debian-installer/build/needed-characters/ka.utf:

https://d-i.debian.org/doc/i18n-guide/ch03s06.html

I'm surprised that this was missed. Was

not followed?

Apparently not :-(

So, we need a Georgian translator, providing us a file with all non-ascii 
characters needed for the Georgian language.

Can anyone help us, please?


Thanks

With the attached script you can generate a list of all characters that 
are used in the translations. That can be used to determine the minimal 
set of required characters.

We already do that in the debian installer, but that is not enough to be
reasonably sure that this covers all questions that might happen during
installation, since questions could be asked by any udeb. That's why we
rather request for a an explicit file from actual translators.

I agree. But the work for the translators can be reduced by 
automatically parsing the work they have already done (i.e. the 
translations).
That would leave only some characters that have not been used in any 
translated text, but might be present i.e. on the keyboard.
@Translators: It that something you might want to use?

If those additional characters would be listed in a second line in the 
file, it would even allow for friction-less merges.
(I.e. the first line would be autogenerated from the provided 
translations and the second line would be a list of additional characters)

In order not to miss any translated text, I've updated the script to 
parse all .udeb files that are present on the installation medium and 
extract the template from them. This ensures that all questions that 
might happen during installation will be could.
Or... are additional udebs downloaded on demand?

# How to run this script:
# 1) cd path_of_git_workdirectory_of_debian-installer
# 2) find mount_point_of_installer_image -name "*.udeb" | awk -e '{ 
print "dpkg-deb --control ", $1; print "if [ -e DEBIAN/templates ]; then 
cat DEBIAN/templates >> collect; fi"; print "rm -fr DEBIAN" }' | sh
# 3) python3 chars_v2.py
# Carefully evaluate the proposed modifications in build/needed-characters

Roland: thanks for this tool. It may be useful at some point, however in
this case I chose a different approach.

I have now generated such file from 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_language

Tests have proven to fix the problem.

Ah ok I misread what you meant. Yes that can be a good base, which can
then be proofread by translators.

It seems from the list.gz files that udebs are on the first iso, and
from the debian-cd exclude files that the only udebs which are not there
are the ones which are already included in the d-i initrd.

I doesn't seem that your current script looks at the udebs included in
the initrd?

For a translator, it's just a matter of 1 minute, to write down the 
alphabet for his language, I guess.

But anyway, we can still use your script, if we cannot get such info from
translator (if there is no active translator, for example).

The ka.utf you attached is conspicuously (nearly) identical to what I grabbed
from Wikipedia, so: good work!!!

Note the 'nearly'... :-)
In the translations the following code points are used, which are not in 
your list yet:

10f2 (Georgian Letter Hie), used in 'retriever/media/loadnow' and 
'partman-auto-raid/notenoughparts'
201c (Left Double Quotation Mark) 16x used
201d (Right Double Quotation Mark) 38x used
201e (Double Low-9 Quotation Mark) 56x used
21b5 (Downwards Arrow With Corner Leftwards), used in 
'partman-md/deleteverify' and 'mdcfg/deleteverify'

Note that 10f1 (Georgian Letter He) and 10f3-10fe are not used in any 
translated text.

The last four code points will be included by other languages, so it's 
probably not important to have them missing in ka.utf.

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus

PS: The strings with the missing letters were found be enabling lines 36 
and 37 of the script.

I have a local build of a live image that downloads all udebs but did 
not remove any udeb (due to a bug, soon to be fixed), so I have looked 
at a total of 386 udeb files (which includes the udebs in the initrd)

I'll take a closer look, because 
http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 
appears to mention 393 udeb files, so I'm missing 7.

With kind regards,
Roland

And found: I was comparing bookworm with sid...

The ones that are extra in sid are:
+depthcharge-tools-installer
+libdns-export1110
+libirs-export161
+libisccc-export161
+libisccfg-export163
+libisc-export1105
+squid-deb-proxy-client-udeb

I noticed, that I had Hie (10f2) missing in my file compared to yours.
However, I checked if it's used in Georgian translation, and my result was,
that it's not used.
I cannot explain what went wrong with that search, but checking again today 
shows, that it's indeed used, as you say.

So I will add it to ka.utf now.
Thanks for the heads up!
