Comment 9 Keith Lacey 2005-08-25 15:30:40 UTC

Unable to find any string occurances of this in the translatable po files.
Possibly coming from a shared module - should this be resourced?

Comment 10 Arvin Schnell 2005-08-25 15:48:22 UTC

Most of those are varibale names but some should be translated.

Comment 11 Ladislav Slezák 2005-08-26 06:06:46 UTC

All information displayed in the sysconfig editor is directly read from the
sysconfig configuration files (variable and section names, descriptions).
Therefore it's not possible to translate the texts, yast doesn't have any
information about them, they are part of the respective packages not of the yast
module.

It would be possible to translate some generic names (like Hardware, Network,
System) but there can still be an unknown text (e.g. from a new or 3rd party
package) and to have mixed translated/untranslated texts is even worse in my
opinion.

The sysconfig editor is for experienced users so I don't suppose that the
untranslated messages could make a problem.

Sysconfig editor displays a note about this translation issue in the main window
just after start.
