Subject: [Bug 529483] [NEW] Wrong parsing of Amarok ui-files by Rosetta scripts
To: kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com


Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

Rosetta scripts screw up Amarok translation. For example, LP results of
.ui-files parsing loks like this:

* * * * * </property>
* * * * </widget>
* * * *</item>
* * * </layout>
* * *</item>
* * *<item>
* * * <widget class="QFrame" name="frame_info">
* * * *<property name="frameShape">
* * * * <enum>QFrame::StyledPanel</enum>
* * * *</property>
* * * *<property name="frameShadow">
* * * * <enum>QFrame::Raised</enum>
* * * *</property>
* * * *<layout class="QVBoxLayout" name="verticalLayout">
* * * * <item>
* * * * *<widget class="QLabel" name="label_Info">
* * * * * <property name="text">
* * * * * *<string>Amarok expects the above database and user account
to already exist. This user also requires full access to the database.
You MUST restart Amarok after changing these settings.

* * * * * </property>
* * * * * <property name="flat">
* * * * * *<bool>true</bool>
* * * * * </property>
* * * * * <layout class="QVBoxLayout" name="verticalLayout">
* * * * * *<item>
* * * * * * <widget class="QLabel" name="eqPreampValue">
* * * * * * *<property name="sizePolicy">
* * * * * * * <sizepolicy hsizetype="Minimum" vsizetype="Preferred">
* * * * * * * *<horstretch>0</horstretch>
* * * * * * * *<verstretch>0</verstretch>
* * * * * * * </sizepolicy>
* * * * * * *</property>
* * * * * * *<property name="font">
* * * * * * * <font>
* * * * * * * *<pointsize>8</pointsize>
* * * * * * * </font>
* * * * * * *</property>
* * * * * * *<property name="text">
* * * * * * * <string>0

There are no "messages" like this in original Amarok pot file from
upstream. "Translation" of this by LP Translation Teams can lead to
unpredictable results (crashes, freezes, et al.)
