Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm using whatever Precise is shipping by default, and by looking at the 
UI, I'd say it's Qt-based.

Looking at the code, I understand why it's happening: the 
'qt/checkbox-qt.ui' is missing from the po/POTFILES.in file.

So if we're going to be shipping the Qt-based UI, we should:

- Remove the '[type: gettext/glade] gtk/checkbox-gtk.ui' line, so that 
translators don't waste efforts translating a UI we're not shipping
- Add a line for the qt/checkbox-qt.ui file (*), so that intltool picks 
it up, extracts its strings, puts them in the .pot file and they can be 
updated in Launchpad.

Yeah, it seems existing translations from .py files are indeed loaded, 
but none of the Qt ones are.

Cheers,
David.

(*) Having played a bit with it, I'm not too sure how to best add 
qt/checkbox-qt.ui to po/POTFILES.in, as intltool does not seem to 
support Qt .ui files. I'm sure I've seen a workaround somewhere, perhaps 
marking it as a generic XML file, but after a quick test with 
'intltool-update -p -g checkbox', it didn't seem to extract the strings 
from the file.

Title:
  Most of the Checkbox UI is not translatable

Status in Ubuntu Translations:

Status in “checkbox” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I started reporting bug 951025, but I think that one is probably just
  part of a bigger bug.

  It seems that most if not all of the Checkbox UI is not translatable,
  or at least its translations are not exposed in Launchpad.

  I can think of several causes:

  - The checkbox.pot template is not up to date (this would explain translations not being in Launchpad)
  - The Checkbox UI strings not being marked for translation (this would explain translations not being in Launchpad)
  - The translation domain is not properly set in the code (this would explain translations not being loaded)

  I think the first thing to determine is why are the UI strings not in
  Launchpad.

  I'm marking this bug as Critical from the translations side, as
  Checkbox is an Ubuntu upstream app installed by default, and it needs
  to keep up to the promise of an OS available in every user's language.
