Description Krzysztof Lichota 2005-10-04 07:45:29 UTC

This is report for Suse 9.3, but there is no such component in Bugzilla, so I  
am reporting it here.  
  
There is a possibility to add translated version of Summary and Description of  
rpm package. I have created such translated RPM and tried to install it.  
KRpmView showed summary and description translated, as expected, but Yast  
software installer showed summary and description in English (although locale 
is correct and Yast GUI is translated).

KRpmview screenshot showing translated RPM summary and description

This screeenshot shows that RPM description is translated - KRpmview shows it
correctly.

This screenshot shows that Yast software installer does not use translated RPM
summary and description. Elements of GUI are translated.

Would be an enhancement for 10.1

Comment 5 Jiri Srain 2005-10-04 11:00:15 UTC

AFAIK YaST takes the translations from its metadata, not from the packages 
itself. Michael?

Comment 6 Michael Andres 2005-10-04 11:06:59 UTC

For available packages from the metadata, but in this case (installed package
only) from the RpmDB. I'll have a look at it.

< bubli> Yeah, bug 120064 is still an issue, have seen none package whose 
         description/summary would actually be translated

Comment 8 Michael Andres 2008-04-25 13:46:46 UTC

@mls: Is there some way to get the translations into the solv file (in UTF-8!)?

Note: This bug is about texts derived directly from the rpm database only.
Beta1 has no translations, because the parser script does not yet parocess the 
packages.lang files. Thus translations are missing in the .solv file.

Seems fixed in beta3
