---------------
gnome-characters (3.28.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium

Title:
org.gnome.Characters.desktop untranslated
Status in gnome-characters package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-characters source package in Bionic:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Impact]
The version of dh_translations, which was present when gnome-
characters was last uploaded, resulted in a .desktop file with the
wrong gettext domain, so the name of the application in e.g. the
Activities overview is always shown in English.
Meson support has been added to dh_translations since, so a no-change
rebuild is sufficient to fix the issue.
[Test Case]
On a system with some other language but English:
* Install the gnome-characters .deb package
-> find that its name is "Characters".
* Install the rebuilt version of gnome-characters
* Relogin
-> find that its name is the translation of "Characters"
[Regression Potential]
None.
[Original description]
$ tail -n1 /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Characters.desktop
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=$PACKAGE_NAME
dh_translations is confused by files in the source package belonging
to the old build system. configure.ac contains this line:
GETTEXT_PACKAGE=$PACKAGE_NAME
and dh_translations happily uses it to do its things.
The gnome-characters source package should apparently be cleaned up,
but I think that dh_translations should also be changed to not accept
a domain starting with '$'.
