[Bug 392410] Re: [MIR] UNR packages

[David Planella]

And more info on the fbreader MIR, regarding internationalization:

> 5. UI standards:
>    * User-visible strings are internationalized using standard gettext system ? Does not seem to use gettext.
>    * Package with translatable strings builds a PO template during package build ? See previous.
>    * End-user applications ship a desktop file ? Yes, it ships a desktop file.

> 10. Internationalization:
>    * Are graphical applications translatable? Do they support gettext? See point 5.

Localization support is not yet completely implemented upstream. The
application does not use gettext, but the UI can be localized through
XML files. "Interface localization" seems to be one of their listed
requests at http://www.fbreader.org/more/requests.php, but there's no
roadmap defined for implementation nor it is described whether they are
going to use gettext.

That effectively means that in the current state fbreader would not be
translatable in Ubuntu and its localized interface would only available
in English, Finnish, French, Russian, Swedish and Ukrainian (for the
official distribution). Additionally, there are more localizations
available for Arabic, Czech, Indonesian and Italian.

If fbreader were to be included in main, Ubuntu Translators should be
consulted about it.
