Bug 954357

The problems seems to be in the uk version of users.po, but I have not managed to spot exactly where. I'll research further.

Ancor:

642 	#. additional help text about password
643 	#: src/clients/inst_user_first.rb:467
644 	msgid ""
645 	"<p>If you intend to use this password for creating certificates,\n"
646 	"it has to be at least %s characters long.</p>"
647 	msgstr ""
648 	"<p>Якщо ви маєте намір використовувати цей пароль для створення сертифікатів,\n"
649 	"то він повинен мати довжину не меншу за %1 символів.</p>"

??

the english text has %s, the UK text uses %1

and there are more, like:

721 	#. summary label
722 	#: src/clients/inst_user_first.rb:628
723 	msgid "The password encryption method is %s."
724 	msgstr "Методом шифрування паролів є %1."

(this seems the one to be referenced in the yast2 log:

'malformed format string - %*[0-9]' and backtrace ["/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/fast_gettext-0.9.2/lib/fast_gettext/vendor/string.rb:70:in `%'", "/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/fast_gettext-0.9.2/lib/fast_gettext/vendor/string.rb:70:in `%'", "/mounts/mp_0001/usr/share/YaST2/clients/inst_user_first.rb:629:in

That was also my first though. But then I checked that the same happens in (at least) the Greek translation, but the Greek one works... or at least does not crash). So I concluded it must be something different.

The greek one (el) has this:

731 	#. summary label
732 	#: src/clients/inst_user_first.rb:628
733 	msgid "The password encryption method is %s."
734 	msgstr "Η μέθοδος κρυπτογράφησης συνθηματικού είναι %s."

so whereas there MIGHT be other instances where this issue is actually there, it's not that step in the installer

Silly me! I was looking at Estonian .po file (et) and checking the effect in Greek language (el). But turns out el!=et. :-)

In Estonian it's not broken just because the translation is marked as fuzzy (so not included in the .mo file)... a missing translation that is not that obvious when you are staring at a Greek screen and you see no English text. :-D

So, in the end, it's a bug in the uk/users.po, as expected from the very beginning. So reassigning to translations.

Ok, thanks for debugging.  It would work better, if the ruby xgettext extractor would add formatting markers as it does for other languages such as c or even ycp:

#, c-format

#, ycp-format

I'm not sure whether that's a general issue or whether our yast xgettext extractor just does not know about this.  Without such markers we are not (easily) able to validate the translations -- we usually do this with msgfmt.

Andriy, can you please the format strings in users.uk.po (in yast, trunk)?  At some palces, you now must use %s instead of %1.

I formated strings in users.uk.po and updated file users.uk.po committed in http://svn.opensuse.org/viewvc/opensuse-i18n/trunk/yast/uk/po/.

thanks, I submitted it to factory and will also publish a Leap update soon:

now I also filed:

Created submit request 79387 to SUSE:SLE-12-SP1:GA

I guess we need this update on openSUSE Leap.  Can you pick it up from ibs://SUSE:SLE-12-SP1:GA?

I forgot to close it.
