[Bug 1946347] Re: Translations are missing

[Pavel Borecki]

Thanks for pointing to this documentation, but if understood correctly,
fwupd.mo should be part of lang-pack-* package(s), right?

But looking in (for example):

https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/all/language-pack-cs-base/filelist
(language-pack-cs is empty package)

There is no such file as /usr/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/fwupd.mo

It seems, that translations are imported in Rosetta (Ubuntu translation system):
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd,
but not part of build process of lang-pack-* packages.

In mentioned documentation
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Internationalisation/Packaging
there are no hints regarding meson build system (which upstream fwupd is using) - maybe problem with integration there?

In any case, would it be possible to look at it please? It is really unfortunate, that Ubuntu users are prevented to benefit from translations, which in situation, when firmware updates are offered to inexperienced (and non-English speakers) trough Gnome Software / KDE Discover and they don't understand instructions, they get (and possibly will brick their devices).
Thanks for all your work on lvfs infrastructure (and growing list of vendors/devices, you managed to onboard) and fwupd tools - greatly appreciated! - but missing localization (which is done) is the last thing remaining to perfection :-)

Title:
  Translations are missing

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  if you compare list of files in Debian package:
  https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/amd64/fwupd/filelist

  and in Ubuntu package:
  https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/amd64/fwupd/filelist

  you will notice, that anything related to localization is missing, for
  example:

  /usr/share/locale/af/LC_MESSAGES/fwupd.mo

  it seems, that localization data are not part of any other fwupd
  related Ubuntu package, thus they are completely missing.

  Would it be possible to bring localization (which exists for long time
  and is very complete in upstream) to packaging please?

  Thanks
