The "Password:" string can't be translated

It can't be translated because is not in the Rosetta's template.

The string is not included in gksu. it is part of libgksuui1.0

you have to translate this package

This is neither a bug of rosetta nor gksu. The string is part of libgksuui1.0. You have to translate this package.

Thanks,

Sebastian

Sorry, but I disagree. The libgksuui1.0 package is fully translated. Looking at:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/libgksuui1.0/+pots/libgksuui1.0/es/+translate

you can see that "Password:" is translated to "Contraseña".

And looking at the libgksuui1.0.mo file, you can see that the translation is applied and installed in my system:

ricardo@yuggoth:~ $ strings -e S /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/libgksuui1.0.mo | grep "Contraseña"
Contraseña:

However, the gksu still shows "Password:" instead of "Contraseña:"

Reopened the bug and assigned to libgksuui1.0

By the way thanks for your patience. I am investigating this now.

Finally found the correct library that provides the string.

Thanks a lot Ricardo. I will send a notification to all translators since we are going to do a string change in gksu. So I can also use this chance to inform the translators about the need to translate this library package, too.

gksu is a very splitted piece of software.

It is the libgksu1.2 library

You're welcome :)

By the way, the libgksu1.2 library is translated into Spanish in Rosetta:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/libgksu1.2/+pots/libgksu1.2/es/+translate?offset=10

"Password: " is translated to "Contraseña: ". But the translation is not in the libgksu1.2.mo file:

ricardo@yuggoth:~/ISO $ strings -e S /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/libgksu1.2.mo | grep "Contraseña:"
ricardo@yuggoth:~/ISO $

Probably it's because the langpack is out to date. Maybe we need to wait until langpacks upgrades, in order to see if the ("Password:" => "Contraseña:") translation enters into the .mo file.
