Description

In Tails 1.4 when russian is selected at Greeter, it switched to russian.
In Tails 1.5 when russian is selected at Greeter, it sticks t english.

That error unfortunately made it through the manuel test suite, we should maybe explicitly add it in the list of things to check when doing the internationalization tests.

That’s because the Russian translation is buggy and was therefore disabled.
I’m inclined to close this ticket, as we don’t usually track Transifex translation issues here.

Next step is probably to get in touch with the last translators, point them to the problem (identified by check-po.sh), and hope someone will fix it some day.

I checked on Transifex, and I might be a fool but Russian is 100% translated and I didn’t see where it’s buggy. It looks like it didn’t change since June 23rd.

I sent a message to the last translator in case that person knows what’s wrong.

Any clue?

Thanks for checking, and no, you’re not a fool :)

I wouldn’t have noticed the problem myself manually, that’s why we have automatic QA tools:

$ $TAILS_GIT/submodules/jenkins-tools/slaves/check_po

Still the case in Tails Jessie.

That’s due to a disagreement between i18nspector and Transifex on the plural form for Russian. I created Bug #9992 to solve the root cause. Marking this one as a duplicate as it’s more specific and I don’t want to leave it with no assignee nor target version.
