Gnumeric localization troubles

[m.rick@…]

Gnumeric won't launch localized.

At the begining I thought it was a bug related to GTK3, but Gnumeric was partially showing items localized.

I discovered MacPorts creates a compilation bug with the localization. It compiles gnumeric-1.x.x-functions.mo as gnumeric-1.x.x.mo and gnumeric-1.x.x.mo is not compiled or it is replaced by the wrong one. To make it simple, localization files are inverted and one is unavailable.

I took from Linux the available localization files gnumeric-1.x.x.mo and gnumeric-1.x.x-functions.mo and put it inside my software installation and it does work pretty well.

I didn't try yet the brand new gnumeric-1.12.27 just released to check wether it has been corrected or not.

This explains the localization issue I was seeing with 1.12.26 a couple of days ago. Please test 1.12.27 and I'll do the same.

I updated to 1.12.27, still the issue. I made the try from the Linux files and it works.

The gnumeric-1.12.27.mo - copie is the original one. You can see it's size, 329 Ko, it's exactly the same one with gnumeric-1.12.27-functions.mo, both 328 784 o.

The problem is that, after reconfiguring for intltool 0.51, the sed fixups for po-functions/Makefile.in.in in autogen.sh don't work properly resulting in the gnumeric-1.12.27.mo files being overwritten by the gnumeric-1.12.27-functions.mo files.

Adjusted said fixups in autogen.sh to match the intltool 0.51 po/Makefile.in.in format in r145522. Tested successfully with LC_ALL=FR_fr so I expect other languages will work as well.

Let me know if this fixes the issue for you too. Thanks.

Gotcha! You did it 😉 Thank you.
