Advanced options not translated to Dutch

kees-z · August 21, 2017, 4:31pm

All advanced options in Duplicati are not translated to Dutch: both the short and the long descriptions. I thought this was a generic issue in the software, but in other languages the translation is applied. In Transifex, every entry has a Dutch translation, so it’s unclear for me why translating the Advanced Options to all languages is applied, except Dutch.

Also, some other parts stay English, because the source strings are not available in Transifex. This is what I found so far:

In “Add Backup” and “Edit backup”:
Word “strength” not translated.
In the Edit Backup-wizard, step 5:
“Keep this number of backups”, “Unlimited”, “Until they are older than”
(this seems to be solved since today, a translation can be supplied in Transifex)
“Database” under “Advanced” in a backup job:
Descriptive text untranslated
“Command” under “Advanced” in a backup job:
Everything untranslated
“Display Log” under “Reporting” in a backup job:
“Result” and : “Message” untranslated
“About" Menu:
“We would like to thank…”, “You are the reason…”, Due to their recent contributions…” untranslated

The “strength” is here: duplicati/addoredit.html at master · duplicati/duplicati · GitHub

The “Keep this number” should be translated: duplicati/addoredit.html at master · duplicati/duplicati · GitHub

Same for the “local database” text:

github.com

duplicati/duplicati/blob/master/Duplicati/Server/webroot/ngax/templates/localdatabase.html#L8


<div ng-controller="LocalDatabaseController" class="localdb" >
<h1>{{'Local database for' | translate}} 
    <b ng-show="Backup.Backup.Name">{{Backup.Backup.Name}}</b>
    <b ng-hide="Backup.Backup.Name" translate>...loading...</b>
</h1>


<div>
    {{'Each backup has a local database associated with it, which stores information about the remote backup on the local machine.\nThis makes it faster to perform many operations, and reduces the amount of data that needs to be downloaded for each operation.' | translate}}
</div>


<h2 translate>Maintenance</h2>
<div>
    {{'If the backup and the remote storage is out of sync, Duplicati will require that you perform a repair operation to synchronize the database.\nIf the repair is unsuccesful, you can delete the local database and re-generate.' | translate}}
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>


<ul class="tabs">
    <li class="active" ng-class="{disabled: Backup == null || Backup.Backup == null}"><a href ng-click="doRepair()" translate>Repair</a></li>

I apparently forgot the “translate” markers for the commandline UI entirely:

github.com

duplicati/duplicati/blob/master/Duplicati/Server/webroot/ngax/templates/commandline.html

<div class="commandline form" ng-controller="CommandlineController">
    <form class="styled" ng-hide="Mode == 'view'">
        <backup-edit-uri uri="TargetURL" hide="HideEditUri" ng-show="EditUriState"></backup-edit-uri>

        <div ng-hide="EditUriState">

            <div class="input mixed">
                <label for="command">Command</label>
                <select name="command" id="command" ng-model="Command" ng-options="item for item in SupportedCommands">
                </select>
                <div style="float: left">{{CommandHelp[Command]}}</div>
            </div>


            <div class="input textarea linklabel">
                <label for="target"><a href class="target" ng-click="EditUriState = true">Target URL &gt;</a></label>
                <textarea name="target" id="target" ng-model="TargetURL" placeholder="Enter a url, or click the 'Target URL &gt;' link"></textarea>
            </div>

            <div class="input textarea">

The advanced options need to change to use a “translate” call:

github.com

duplicati/duplicati/blob/master/Duplicati/Server/webroot/ngax/scripts/directives/advancedOptionsEditor.js#L64


    return name;
}


$scope.getEntry = function(key) {
    if (optionmap == null)
        return null;


    return optionmap[coreName(key)];
};


$scope.getDisplayName = function(name) {
    var item = $scope.getEntry(name);
    if (item == null)
        return coreName(name);


    return item.Name + ': ' + item.ShortDescription;
};


$scope.getInputType = function(item) {
    var item = $scope.getEntry(item);
    if (item == null)

The “about” area could also get translated, but currently it just pulls this file:

github.com

duplicati/duplicati/blob/master/Duplicati/License/acknowledgements.txt

I can’t find an entry for the word Strength in Transifex and whatever language I choose in Duplicati, this word is untranslated.

Is it possible to divide this file into sections that are associated with the available languages? Otherwise the text could be hard coded in the source or multiple versions of the file could be stored in the License folder.

Could there be any relation here with issue #2184? In the Advanced Options list, all entries in section “Configure http requests” are listed twice:
