Arch Linux

What language are you intending it to speak? Can you post the output of locale?

LANG=de_DE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Same situation for me. I use to have Italian as main language, but there's some entries in English.

I would imagine this is an upstream issue. Partial translations means that the upstream translations are incomplete, if you ask me. Can anyone check to see if this is logged in the upstream bug tracker?

I removed my packages with -Scc and reinstalled gnome and gnome-extras, nothing changed :-(
Btw. this problem i only have with i686, in x86_64 is everything ok.

//Edit..
The cause i have no problems with x86_64.. i setup up complete arch again, before this i had the "language-problem" too.

Same problem here, Nautilus in french but a lot of entries in english.

Same for me with German English mixture. On both cpu platforms.

Nautilus is not fully Ukrainian here too.
I agree with Aaron here, but it looks weird because l10n.gnome.org says that Gnome 2.24 has fully translated nautilus and gvfs in German, French and Ukrainian. :-/

because a fresh installatuin of Archlinux does not have that issue... the failure has to be somethin with changeing configs due last gnome apps updates?

Same situation also for me. I have Italian as main language, but there's some entries in English!
I'm on Arch at 64 bit.
Thanks for any replay.

No problem here:
$ locale
LANG=it_IT.utf8
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.utf8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.utf8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.utf8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.utf8"

Only "Open as administrator" is untranslated (since ages).

The message catalog file seems ok for german.
$ msgunfmt /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/nautilus.mo
[...]
msgid "Open in %'d New _Tab"
msgid_plural "Open in %'d New _Tabs"
msgstr[0] "In %'d neuem _Reiter öffnen"
msgstr[1] "In %'d neuen _Reitern öffnen"

msgid "Open in %'d New _Window"
msgid_plural "Open in %'d New _Windows"
msgstr[0] "In %'d neuem _Fenster öffnen"
msgstr[1] "In %'d neuen _Fenstern öffnen"
[...]

And the menu item "Open as administrator" is not a Nautilus builtin; it comes from an extension.

Alessandro Doro (adoroo),
i have seen this files: /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/nautilus.mo and locale output, it seems ok. But i have always problem with nautilus traslation: there's some entries in English and not in italian. For example "Empty Trash", "Make Link", "Open as administator", "Move to trash" ..etc...

Uninstalling Brasero with simpy "pacman -R brasero" and restarting gnome sove the problem... taken from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/intrepid-backports/+bug/325221/

Uninstalling Brasero works for me too.

OK, so this is just some untranslated extension, not a bug in nautilus.

But the BUG infest Nautilus ;)

i confirm! It's a Brasero problem.

Just installed german locales.

$ LANG=de_DE.utf8 nautilus --sm-disable --no-desktop

works for me (i686 box) also. Jens, have you tried with a newly created user?

ech0s7, so you have "Empty Trash", "Make Link", "Move to trash" entries untranslated in Nautilus (don't bother about "Open as administator")?

adoroo, yes, but uninstalling brasero i have solved the problem.

I just have installed brasero and I can confirm:
The problem is in the brasero nautilus extension. After moving libnautilus-brasero-extension.so away from /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/ the menu item are shown in the right language.

It seems that adding:
textdomain ("nautilus");
in funcion nautilus_module_initialize (GTypeModule *module)
brasero-0.9.1/nautilus/nautilus-burn-extension.c

Ok, I punished my hand for the previous post :)

Upstream bug.
It seems that adding:
textdomain ("nautilus");
in "brasero-0.9.1/nautilus/nautilus-burn-extension.c", function nautilus_module_initialize (GTypeModule *module)
solves the issue.

But I really don't know how nautilus extensions should handle gettext domains.

Upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570711

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22041712/debdiff - here's patch for Debian-based distros.
Porting this patch to Arch is possible, right?

I have uploaded a patched brasero-0.91-2. Can someone confirm that this fixed it.

Fixed for me.
