There's a string in GTK whose msgid is "default:LTR", and you're supposed to set its msgstr to either "default:LTR" if your language is left-to-right or "default:RTL" if your language is right-to-left. Check that that string is translated correctly for ckb.

Feisty string freeze: new ubiquity strings
Hi,
I've added a few strings to ubiquity (Rosetta will display them under
the debian-installer package in Feisty) for my next upload. I felt that
this justified breaking the string freeze as the extra error handling in
this case fixes a large number of reported bugs - I've found around 30
instances of it so far, and haven't even got through everything.
If you want to get a head-start, the new strings are as follows:
#. Type: error
#. Description
#: ../ubiquity.templates:86001
msgid "Error while installing packages"
msgstr ""
#. Type: error
#. Description
#: ../ubiquity.templates:86001

msgstr ""
#. Type: error
#. Description
#. Type: error
#. Description
#: ../ubiquity.templates:86001 ../ubiquity.templates:87001
msgid ""
"This may be due to using an old installer image, or it may be due to a bug "
"in some of the packages listed above. More details may be found in /var/log/"
"syslog. The installer will try to continue anyway, but may fail at a later "
"point, and will not be able to install or remove other packages (possibly "
"including itself) from the installed system. You should first look for newer "
"versions of your installer image, or failing that report the problem to your "
"distributor."
msgstr ""

msgid "Error while removing packages"
msgstr ""
#. Type: error
#. Description
#: ../ubiquity.templates:87001
msgid "An error occurred while removing packages:"
msgstr ""
(The .templates file has a couple of ${...} substitutions that go after
the three strings above that end in colons; I've marked these
untranslatable.)

Who is > supposed to update the files from upstreams? the translators or sys admins > at rosetta? Neither. debian-installer is a special case; it is updated by means of the Ubuntu installer team merging changes from Debian, which we do at least every six months. However: while you have been working on d-i Amharic translations for some time (since November 2006), Amharic was only actually *activated* in d-i upstream on 8 January, which was after the point when we stopped automatically importing changes from Debian. Before that time, those translations weren't present in Debian installation CDs, and so they simply weren't available for us to update. While it might have been possible to add it if we'd found out about this earlier, at this point it's unfortunately likely to be rather invasive and a lot of work to merge all the newer versions of installer components from Debian to add Amharic support. Some of those new versions add unstable features that we don't want yet, so it would be very much a manual and labour-intensive process. There should be no problem in making this translation available in Ubuntu 8.10, and you're definitely doing the most convenient thing in translating d-i upstream (again, this is a special case due to lack of language packs for the installer).

Re: Translations from the debian-installer package
m/DistributionDefaultsAndBranding. I'm afraid I'm not interested in negotiating this workflow because I strongly believe that anything else would be worse (it would leave me in an untenable position when the strings change on both sides of the merge), but I am generally interested in language-specific improvements to the rebranding changes we need to make. However, can you explain to me, or perhaps more relevantly to the Debian Catalan translation team, why the existing Catalan text in Debian is wrong? It currently reads "Menú principal de l'instal·lador de Debian". Changing "de Debian" to "de l'Ubuntu" seems like a grammatical change that would be hard for me to apply consistently across the whole distribution, and is at odds with what I was told by one of your compatriots some time ago (Jordi Mallach). Could we please get Debian and Ubuntu to be consistent here so that I can simply apply this change consistently everywhere? If this is actually a standard grammatical transformation needed for proper nouns that begin with a vowel or something like that, then of course that's a different matter and we can simply adjust DistributionDefaultsAndBranding to explain that. I think it would be best if we continued this conversation by e-mail rather than in this bug report. As a whole, this is not a bug I am willing to fix, but I am willing to make specific manual adjustments for Jaunty (it is far too late for Intrepid; this would have had to have been done a week ago, and I am simply physically unable to get any changes of this nature through in time now) if we can agree on them.

I think this would be the wrong model. The Ubuntu installer is not supposed to have a separate upstream existence from the Debian installer (apart from the graphical installer component Ubiquity, that is, which isn't at issue here), and I think it would be a mistake to pretend that it does. For one thing, it would make the location of branches very confusing indeed. Instead, I would prefer that Launchpad Translations implement what I see as an important design principle in Launchpad (albeit one honoured more in the breach than the observance to date): In general, operations that can be performed on upstream projects should be able to be performed on distribution source packages as well. The lack of this equivalence in all sorts of places in Launchpad has long been a thorn in the Ubuntu team's side. This is something I've been working through with the Launchpad Code team recently too, so that we can have branches attached to distribution source packages as well as to upstream projects. I think, at minimum, we ought to be able to have certain privileges attached to translations of source packages for those who can upload them to the relevant distribution anyway. We probably also ought to be able to alter translation privileges on certain source packages, although I think this should be the exception rather than the rule. All that said, I don't think limiting the *people* who can commit to installer translations in Ubuntu is the right model. Instead, I think there should be a straightforward way to limit the set of *strings* offered for translation. The good news is that this does not necessarily have to involve significant changes to Launchpad. Currently, I generate a master set of POT and PO files for the installer which Launchpad Translations administrators then upload. We could split those files into three big lumps: one for the strings that come directly from Debian and should not generally be changed; one for the strings that require branding changes in Ubuntu; and one for the strings that are new in Ubuntu. Those could then be uploaded to separate templates in Launchpad, and translators could be given separate advice about what to translate. We could maintain the filtering for this on the Ubuntu side; I don't expect that it would be all that difficult.

Errors in Ubuntu debian-installer translations
Hi,
I received a report today of a mistake in the German translation of
debian-installer, which prompted me to check for other similar errors.
When translating the installer, it is very important to make sure that
text such as ${WORD} is preserved *exactly*. (Of course, you may
rearrange the text around it, but the installer looks for ${...} when
substituting in variables and it's very important that that text is
still there, with exactly the same variable name inside ${...}, or else
the result will be ugly.) See this page for more detail:
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n/ch07s04.html
I used a script written by the upstream d-i translation coordinators to
check for this, and to my dismay there are a very large number of
suspicious translations. Some of these may be inherited from mistakes
made by Debian translators, but from my quick glance through some of
them, a lot of them are mistakes made by Ubuntu translators. Here's the
output:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/d-i-translations/
As a matter of urgency for Ubuntu 9.04, please check whether your
language is listed at the URL above and correct any mistaken
translations. Feel free to contact me for help (IRC: cjwatson or the
#ubuntu-installer channel on irc.freenode.net). I am happy to correct
the strings for a language in Launchpad if its translators give me
permission to do so; I'm a translations administrator so technically
have the privileges, but would prefer translators to fix this
themselves.
Thanks,

How about working with the upstream team to convert the translation to .po files? I was under the impression that that was the new preferred method upstream anyway. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- ubuntu-translators mailing list ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators

It was fixed, but now it's come back. Could you please re-educate
whoever's approving this? :-)

most recent import into ubiquity, so it didn't cause any further
problems for users.
