Bugzilla – Bug 120064
Yast software installer does not show translated "Summary" and "Description" fields from rpm
Last modified: 2008-06-04 10:29:52 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).
Created attachment 51363 [details] KRpmview screenshot showing translated RPM summary and description This screeenshot shows that RPM description is translated - KRpmview shows it correctly.
Created attachment 51364 [details] Screenshot of Yast software installer showing not translated RPM description and summary This screenshot shows that Yast software installer does not use translated RPM summary and description. Elements of GUI are translated.
Created attachment 51365 [details] RPM with translated summary and description I have used for tests
Would be an enhancement for 10.1
AFAIK YaST takes the translations from its metadata, not from the packages itself. Michael?
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
@mls: Is there some way to get the translations into the solv file (in UTF-8!)?
(In reply to comment #7 from Christoph Thiel) > Yeah, bug 120064 is still an issue, have seen none package whose > description/summary would actually be translated 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
