[Bug 358283] Re: Untranslatable update notification

 

> However, I could not find out how the notification is installed

That's explained in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InteractiveUpgradeHooks :
ship it in /usr/share/packagename and have the postinst copy it to
/var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/.

I suppose update-notifier invokes gettext at runtime, and the "_"
markers are just to enable .pot file building. Subscribing mvo to
confirm, but it should work fine as it is. Doesn't it?

> * Variable substitution in .desktop.in files

This does not generally work as far as I know. You have to hardcode the
domain name there (or use cdbs' langpack.mk which adds the field for
you). However, the domain name shouldn't change, so if you just hardcode
it it should be just fine.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

After yesterday's updates, today I got this update notification:

Record your encryption passphrase

To encrypt your home directory or "Private" folder, a strong passphrase has been autogenerated. Usually your directory is unlocked with your user password, but if you ever need to manually recover this directory, you will need this passphrase. Please print or write it down and store it in a safe location.
You can run the "ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase" command now to do this. Enter your user password at the "Passphrase" prompt.

This is from the /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-record-passphrase file, but neither this file, nor the package is translatable.
