Errors in translated Debconf templates

[ L10n ] [ Language list ] [ Ranking ] [ POT files ] [ Errors ] [ Hints for translators ]

You can find an alphabetical list of packages with errors in their translated Debconf templates, or the same list sorted by maintainers.

In order to save room, both lists contain keywords instead of meaningful messages, which are defined here. Some of these errors should be fixed by the translators, while others should be fixed by the maintainer.

Errors which are the responsibility of the translators

invalid-charset-name-in-po: Po files must have a valid charset in the Content-Type: field of the header. The charset is the choice of the translators and the po file should be fixed by the translators themself, unless the maintainers are absolutely sure of what they are doing.
wrong-charset: The charset specified in the Content-Type: field of the po header is not the same as the one used in the po file. The charset is the choice of the translators and the po file should be fixed by the translators themself, unless the maintainers are absolutely sure of what they are doing. These files are not at all usable, the maintainers should therefore ask the translators for fixed files.
invalid-po: The po file is not valid. The reasons can be numerous. The output of msgfmt should help the translators to fix their files. These files are not at all usable, the maintainers should therefore ask the translators for fixed files.

Errors which are the responsibility of the maintainers

unknown-language: A po file has an unknown language code. The basename of the file should be a valid language code. The headers should help to find which language it refers, otherwise it is pointless to include it in a package as nobody will use them.
missing-file-in-POTFILES.in: The debian/po/POTFILES.in refers to unexisting templates files. This error is often found after renaming or removing templates files. This is the responsibility of the maintainers to fix this file, to update the po files and to ask for updated translations. The translators should not work on these packages, as the templates.pot file is usually completely out of date.
not-up-to-date-templates.pot: The debian/po/templates.pot has not been synced with the templates files. The maintainers should fix their packages by adding debconf-updatepo to the clean target of the debian/rules. The translators should first launch debconf-updatepo if they work with the source package. The po and pot files on the website should be up to date.
not-up-to-date-po-file: The listed files have not been synced with the templates. The maintainers should fix their packages by adding debconf-updatepo to the clean target of the debian/rules. The translators should first launch debconf-updatepo if they work with the source package. The po files on the website should be up to date.
