evolution-exchange is ignoring already translated menu-items (Permissions..., Berechtigungen...)

adding german translators because i dont know the next steps. If i am correct the issue was in the source-code of evolution. The template was not used correctly. Its fixed upstream and sill affecting 11.10 and 12.04

Attached debdiff

This bug was fixed in the package evolution-exchange - 3.2.1-2ubuntu2

---------------
evolution-exchange (3.2.1-2ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/gettext_support_menu_items.patch
    - Added gettext support to menu items from plugins which were earlier not translated (LP: #911269)

This was obviously uploaded without being tested, I'll revert this for now.

evolution-exchange (3.2.1-2ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low

  * Drop gettext_support_menu_items.patch again.
    e_action_group_add_actions_localized() is defined nowhere, so this can't
    possibly work. This was apparently uploaded without any testing. Fixes
    FTBFS.

Looks like this is actually missing a patch to evolution's e-util; it should be pretty straightforward to get it added since nothing would be using that function (e_action_group_add_actions_localized()) yet. See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2012-January/msg01662.html, though one would probably want to go find the commit on git.gnome.org/browse/evolution to make the patch easier to include in the evolution package.

I'm fixing up the package assignations.

Vibhav, do you want to give a go to fixing evolution first, then we can upload evolution-exchange again with the translations fix?

Since this will need more work / fixing at the evolution level first, I'm unsubscribing the Ubuntu Sponsors Team.

Any news about this bug? The package from 12.04 is still affected.

Can i help in some way to get htis fixed?

Cannot test this. Is it still a problem?

Hi Hendrik,
at the moment i am using 13.04 which does not have the package evolution-exchange anymore, so i cant test it too to confirm my initial bug-report.

i installed 12.04 in virtualbox to test this bug. I installed evolution-exchange but the entries are complety gone now. I am not sure if it is because i am not connected to an exchange-server (dont have a server anymore) or if the fix was causing a new bug.

See attached "Bildschirmfoto vom 2013-05-22 23:26:27.png"

I think you have to run the setup-utility and configure an exchange server. Otherwise Evolution won't even notice the extension. That's the reason why I cannot test it, because I don't have access to a valid exchange server.

Nevertheless, this bug is fixed upstream and if the package got removed from Ubuntu anyway there is not much sense in trying to get this fixed for Precise since the chances are very low that a fix will ever be released (would need a SRU and translation bugs usually don't apply to this).

If this is still a problem for anybody using Precise I suggest to install the package manually.

Closing as Fix Released since Upstream fix is available.
