Comment # 24 on bug 952855 from Erwan GEORGET

Ok... it seem that I was able to find the cause of this bug.

GNOME apps seem to search their translation in the
'/usr/share/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES' folder, but the translations are in the
'/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES' folder.

By copying 'gnome-boxes.mo' into '/usr/share/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES', GNOME
Boxes appear to be now correctly translated.

Now we have two choice :

-> Make a patch to make GNOME apps search their translated string in
'/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES'. Thus making a patch for every GNOME
package, and every fr_* language.

-> Make a patch to copy all translation into
'/usr/share/locale/fr_*/LC_MESSAGES' instead of
'/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES'. But it will probably require to patch rpm
itself... and probably cause a mass rebuild.


What do you think Dominique Leuenberger?
