[Bug 358641] Re: Incorrect Translation in Spanish Network (ENG)->Red (SPA) ¿?-> Rojo (red colour)

[David Planella]

Please find a debdiff containing a patch which fixes this particular
translation.

I've created a PPA package with this fix for those willing to test it:
https://launchpad.net/~dpm/+archive/ppa

** Description changed:

  * Impact of the bug on users and justification for backporting the fix
  to the stable release
  
  When displaying the main Ubuntu Netbook Remix UI, Spanish users are
  presented with a completely wrong and misleading translation of the
  'Network' tab.
  
  The proper translation of 'Network' in Spanish should be 'Red', and not
  'Rojo' as it is currently translated in the distribution package. 'Rojo'
  is the name for the colour 'red' in Spanish, which somehow might have
  confused the original translator.
  
  This translation is not only misleading to users, but due to its high
  visibility (it is shown on the main UI) leaves also an undeserved bad
  quality impression on the project.
  
  * How the bug has been addressed in the development branch
  
- TODO: the bug is marked as Fix committed, but the code cannot be found
- at https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/netbook-launcher or
- at its equivalent Karmic branch.
- 
- It would be useful to add the patch which fixed this issue to the bug so
- it can be verified, rather than producing a new patch.
+ The bug has not yet addressed in the development branch. Attached is a
+ debdiff containing a patch correcting only this particular translation.
+ Although the proper fix in the development release would be to export
+ all translations from Launchpad and release a new package with those
+ updated translations, for the stable release it might be safer to first
+ fix only the current bug (i.e. correct only the Spanish 'Network'
+ translation).
  
  TEST CASE:
  
  * Start Ubuntu Netbook Remix using the Spanish locale
  * Once the UI is loaded, the 'Network' tab on the right is displayed wrongly translated as 'Rojo'
  
  * Discussion of the regression potential of the patch and how users
  could get inadvertently affected.
  
  If the patch only touches that particular string (i.e. change 'Rojo' by
  'Red'), there shouldn't be any regression potential.
