Title: how add a translation to aMule?
Post by: luquino on March 20, 2011, 03:51:49 AM

Hi! I have aMule 2.2.6 on Ubuntu 10.04. aMule is installed from stamdard repos and it appears in spanish language (because my computer is located in spanish).
I wonder if it should be possible to add italian tramslation to aMule so when I change language in the system, aMule changes language as well.
In the wiki I found the it.po, but I don't know if it's useful and, eventually, how to use it.
thx a lot for your help.

Have you generated the italian localoes for your system?

Yes, at login I can choose language between Spanish and Italian. Each language works for the system.

I don't know about Ubuntu packaging scheme, you may only need to install the appropriate localization package.

Anyway, see if the file /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/amule.mo exists, in which case the problem lies somewhere else.

well, when I installed aMule on my pc it was setted on Spanish language, so now I faind the es locale installed 

Code: [Select]

luca@luca-desktop:~$ locate /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/amule.mo
/usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/amule.mo
luca@luca-desktop:~$

The problem is exactly how to add the Italian localization for italian.

According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/amule-common/filelist you have to have more installed languages. Try "apt-get install --reinstall amule-common" to get the missing files. If this doesn't work, compare the output of "locale" in every env and "locale  -a".

That sounds strange.
If I try to reinstall amule -common during italian session, it installs always the spanish messages file.

anyway:
locale -a

So you see your problem, login in italian just changes the LANGUAGE-Var. Which crappy piece of software claims to set locale and then does such a thing.

Title: Re: how add a translation to aMule?
Post by: luquino on April 12, 2011, 08:53:20 PM

well, I can't answer to your question.
what I see is that when I login in Italian everything speaks Italian: menus, firefox and other programs, help messages, etc.
So, to solve my problem, can I download somewhere an Italian .mo file to put in the right directory on my pc?

Downlload and extract the deb, then you can copy all needed files.

OK, that is a joke.
Before I said that italian locale where not installed, after reinstall of amule-common, because whit locate command I didn't see other than spanish.
Actually italian .mo for amule where installed, but I could see it only after a

Code: [Select]

sudo updatedb  So, now amule changes languages subjected to the env.
Thanks for the help.
