Systemsettings: French Translation Issue

Help
1

Hi,

I’m new to Linux, and this is my first bug report. It’s about the French translation :baguette_bread:

In my screenshot, you can see that in the Start Menu and in Discover (the bottom window), the translation is correct in the search field: it says “Rechercher…” (Search).

However, in the various “System Settings” windows, the text is in English.

I’m posting this here because I don’t think it’s an issue with a specific app’s translation, but perhaps my screenshot shows that the system should be more unified and call a single variable for this text, rather than multiple ones.

Merci

Fedora 43 KDE

Here https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?classification=Translations for component fr.

If you’d like you can try to fix it yourself: https://l10n.kde.org/

The process is a bit old-fanished using mailing and svn but works and benefits from a nice community :slight_smile:

Thanks Meven.

But I’m having another problem: I can’t log in to Bugs.kde.org with the same credentials I use on Discuss. And when I create a new account there, I don’t receive the registration confirmation. I’ve just tried twice.

This is unexpected, this should work :confused: .

By the way, the app missing the translations is likely systemsettings.

There are many strings to translate - perhaps the French translation team simply hasn’t gotten around to translating this string yet :sweat_smile:
Pinging @jjazeix as they are the only one I am sure of being involved in the i18n-fr team.

I was wrong bugzilla does not have identity integration.

Did you check your spam folder ?
Our bugzilla emails can end up in there.

Hi,

thanks for the report. From what I understand, the application now uses Kirigami and this field is translated in it. Can you check if you have “kirigami” package installed?

The file containing the translation should be /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/libkirigami6_qt.qm.

The translation is done in poqm/fr/libkirigami6_qt.po · master · Frameworks / Kirigami · GitLab , so if it still not works it either means the .qm file does not contain it or there is an issue with the application not loading it correctly.

Thank you. I confirm that this file is indeed present and that the correct translation is contained within it:

I confirm it’s a KDE bug (not a translation), the fix has been developed in Retranslate QML on QEvent::LanguageChange (!387) · Merge requests · Plasma / System Settings · GitLab and we are waiting for its integration.
