[Bug 1319257] Re: Additional drivers tab crashes if locale is sv and recommended driver available

 

A few notes to answer some of the questions:

- The original string is correctly marked for translation. The reason all arguments are marked for translation is so that languages that need to do so rearrange these arguments in a way that is readable for users.
- Mistranslation of one of the arguments is something gettext should have caught. I know gettext supports error checking using {} formatting strings (albeit since relatively recently), so I'm a bit puzzled as to why it didn't issue a warning in Launchpad. Perhaps LP is running on an Ubuntu version that does not yet include the latest gettext?

As for the fix:
- For Ubuntu 14.10 we're setting up translations and language packs, so it should be fixed automatically shortly
- For Ubuntu 14.04 we're now setting up a schedule [1] for language pack updates and should be fixed there shortly
- For Ubuntu 13.10, we'll need to release an on-demand language pack update.

Title:
  Additional drivers tab crashes if locale is sv and recommended driver
  available

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Additional drivers tab crashes on swedish locale if there are
  "recommended" drivers available. This is because the keyword/property
  "licence" mistakenly has been translated to "license" (note the "s").
  See bug #1268134 for further info

  This error has already been corrected in the translation on launchpad,
  but when can we expect it to be pushed out?
