Subject: Strange behavior in using a spanish environment

Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:13:57 -0300

Package: adduser
Version: 3.108
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n

Seems like every time y add a user to a group, the program's output is
both in english and spanish. For example:

	Koala:/home/nacho# adduser nacho vboxusers
	Adding user `nacho' to group `vboxusers' ...
	Añadiendo al usuario nacho al grupo vboxusers
	Hecho.

And when I delete a user from a group, the output is in english but the 
last word in spanish. For example:

	Koala:/home/nacho# deluser nacho vboxusers
	Removing user `nacho' from group `vboxusers' ...
	Hecho.

TIA

extract from the translation file es.po:

#: ../adduser:337 ../adduser:582
#, fuzzy, perl-format
msgid "Adding user `%s' to group `%s' ...\n"
msgstr "Añadiendo al usuario %s al grupo %s...\n"

#: ../deluser:401
#, fuzzy, perl-format
msgid "Removing user `%s' from group `%s' ...\n"
msgstr "Sacando al usuario %s del grupo %s...\n"

It looks for me that the es.po file contains translated strings. I don't
know why gettext mixes up translated an un-translated text.

Hi Joerg,

It shouldn't work that way.

msgid is the original English sentence and msgstr is the translation.

The output message should depende on your local configuration.

Best regards,
César.

Yes, of course.  Nothing much has changed in the way we use gettext
recently, so I doubt it's that.  I thought what Joerg was trying to say
was that the spanish translation was fuzzy, which may have meant some
strings came through untranslated.  I don't know enough about the guts
of gettext to know if that's true or not, though.

How strange, the strings in the PO file are fuzzy, so they should not be
shown to the user (english should be shown instead). But, indeed, both are
shown. Maybe it's a bug in Perl's gettext implementation. This is not correct
behaviour.

Anyway, to fix the root cause and since this PO file is obsolete I'm going to
update it, fix all the fuzzies, and submit it to the BTS.

Regards

Javier
