1: Message keys still missing
Posted by Sam Nicholson on 01/27/06 01:38 AM
I'm still seeing message key missing messages in a new 5.2.2 install. What is the best way to either fix it, or to let the responsible party know? I've seen this hashed about, but I can't tell where to direct Qs and bugs on this issue.

Cheers!

Turn translation mode "on", translate (aka. add) the missing language key. Export the message keys for this package and locale (go to /acs-lang/admin, choose the language, choose the package, hit export). Commit the /packages/mypackage/catalog/mypackage-en_US... file to the CVS.

If you do not have CVS commit rights, send the file to me for the time being.

translate (aka. add) the missing language key.

Is that a button/form somewhere on acs-lang/admin/, a button/form elsewhere, or do I just edit message file directly?

Thanks!!!
Cheers!

Ah, I found it. Just click on the language name in the list generated by acs-lang/admin/.

Cheers!

OK, in my default install, /admin/configure shows a small table with the name and some basic params. For the main site, this is inserted into the db by packages/acs-kernel/sql/postgresql/acs-install.sql.

On the initial install, the label for site name is the string, acs-kernel.Main_Site, surrounded by hash marks*. Now, this label is in the translations in acs-kernel/catalog/acs-kernel.en_US.ISO-8859-1.xml. So, why doesn't it show up translated?

It's not a missing message key. My guess is that it's some sort of a race condition during install. For, all of the subsites are correctly named.

Ideas?

Cheers!
