systemsettings won't load the desktop_kde-systemsettings.mo translation in Edgy

Bug #63325 reported by Martin Böhm on 2006-10-01

Bug Description

In Kubuntu Edgy the Systemsettings application fails to load (at least the Czech) translations located in desktop_kde-systemsettings.mo . The only translations that are visible are the "hard-coded" translations in /usr/share/desktop-directories/ . Sadly those are often incorrect and aren't over-written by the ones in desktop_kde-systemsettings.mo.

I attached the file /usr/share/desktop-directories/kde-settings-keyboardmouse.directory . Notice the "Name[cs]=Uživatelé a skupiny" line. This translation actually means "Users and groups" and it is incorrect. It is correctly translated in Rosetta, though.

I can confirm this as happening as well in Edgy. Some of the icons are in English, some are in the language you set it to, then some are just missing all together it seems. Here is a URL of my screenshot:

Hopefully this helps and gets fixed soon for those that are in need of it all being translated properly.

I was unaware that screenshots should be done as attachments so I'm now adding the screenshot as an attachment.

This is actually three general problems in kdelibs with the langpack-desktopfiles-kde spec.

1) it looks up the wrong string, value when it should look up key=value
2) some apps set their own catalogue in klocale and this needs to be ignored
3) langpack translations should override those already in .desktop files

further strings from guidance are not translated because of http://launchpad.net/bugs/67614
