Polish translation is hosed

[kuba@…]

In 1.2.x, one used to be able to specify image size in percent of column
width, percent of page width, and so on.

Right now, the only available choice is "Scale%".

The bounding box reading is hosed as well -- it doesn't read any meaningful
bounding box.

This is RedHat 8.0 w/ latest updates, Kayvan's .src.rpm libxforms 1.0 and
lyx-1.3.1 compiled locally.

Um, the width menu is right where it has been for ages, nothing
has changed there.

As for bounding box ... I doubt it ever worked. I'd rather remove it completely.

[kuba@…]

You can only select scale% image size option, the relative sizes are gone.

[levon]

what about LANG=en_US ?

[kuba@…]

UGH. With LANG=en_US and LANG=de_DE (maybe others, I didn't test) everything
is fine. So this is LANG=pl specific.

How would a translation break it?

Anyway, there must be something broken in Polish translation because I get
things like "Opening Document Opening Document %1" in the status bar
(obviously, I get it in Polish -- translated here just for clarity) instead of
"Opening Document blah.lyx".

Ugly...

[kuba@…]

Additionally, on the left side of figure floats, instead of translated "Figure
#" I get "%1".

There must be something fishy there -- in many places there is a "%1" in place
of parts of translation. Two examples:

"%1" in place of "Figure #"
"Otwieranie dokumentu Otwieranie dokumentu %1" in place of "Otwieranie
dokumentu blah.lyx"

[levon]

simply, the translation is out of date. You'll likely see
error messages on the console from boost.

Hotfixes to the pl.po file are very welcome !!

Otherwise, we will have to remove pl.po I suppose.

Here is the message I just sent to the maintainer. I think the
%1$s==>%1 is the main reason for the brokenness. Did you see others?

Subject: About LyX polish translation

Hello Tomasz,

It has been reported here

#1002

that the polish translation of LyX is broken in a way that makes
the use of the program mostly impossible. A typical example of bad
translation is

#: src/BufferView_pimpl.C:892
#, c-format
msgid "Inserting document %1$s..."
msgstr "Wstawianie dokumentu %1"

Note that the %1$s (special notation for boost::format) is changed to
%1 in the translation. Is there a reason for that?

Can you fix the translation in a reasonably short delay? Otherwise we
will have to disable pl.po for 1.3.2.

Fixed in 1.3.2cvs

[levon]

what about mainline ? It's still broken afaics, and occassionally blocks some
testing I need t odo

[michael.gerz@…]

If it's still broken, we must re-open the bug :-(

[levon]

JMarc (I think) copied over the .po and the trunk is fine now afaics.

cd po
make install
cd ../src
LANG=pl_PL ./lyx
