Description Josef Moravec 2019-03-11 11:20:14 UTC
You can find them easily with these commands:

git grep "_(" koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/js

git grep "_(" koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/js

They should be fixed, see https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines#JS5:_Enabling_translation_of_language_strings_in_linked_JavaScript

Bug 22490: Some strings in JavaScript files are untranslatable

This patch updates the translation functions of the strings in Javascript files

Test Plan:
1) Find a string in a popup or from a Javascript file who is still not translated
or
1) Home > Administration > Authority types
2) Make sure to have at least one Authority type saved
3) Click on Action > Import
4) Import button without adding any file to trigger the popup
5) The string inside the popup appears without translation
6) Apply patch and repeat from 3) to 5) : now the string is translated
Comment 12 Josef Moravec 2022-05-20 06:43:00 UTC
There are some more strings on master in these files:

koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/js/datatables.js (1 string)
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/js/pages/tags-review.js (2 more strings)

Found by:
git grep '[^_]_(' koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/js


Also there are dummy functions defined in koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/js/onboarding.js and koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/js/staff-global.js.

I am not sure what was this function meant to be for, but I believe it 'legitimate' the '_' function in javascript runtime

Bug 22490: Some strings in JavaScript files are untranslatable

Javascript function `_` works only if used in template file (.tt or
.inc).
In .js files we should use `__`

This patch updates .js files to use `__` instead of `_`

Test Plan:
1. Do not apply the patch yet
2. Run `npx gulp po:update --lang fr-FR` (choose another language
   if you prefer)
3. Open misc/translator/po/fr-FR-messages-js.po and search "Please
   select a CSV (.csv) or ODS (.ods) spreadsheet file"
4. Notice that the references above only mention biblio_framework.js
5. If not already translated, translate it
6. Run misc/translator/translate install fr-FR
7. Go to staff interface and change language to fr-FR
8. Go to Administration » Authority types and click on "Actions ->
   Import"
9. In the modal window, click on "Import" without selecting a file. You
   should see an alert with the non-translated text
10. Apply the patch
11. Run `npx gulp po:update --lang fr-FR`
12. Open misc/translator/po/fr-FR-messages-js.po and search "Please
    select a CSV (.csv) or ODS (.ods) spreadsheet file"
13. Notice that the references above now also mention authtype.js
14. If the translation is marked as fuzzy, remove the fuzzy flag
15. Run misc/translator/translate install fr-FR
16. Go to staff interface again
17. Go to Administration » Authority types and click on "Actions ->
    Import"
18. In the modal window, click on "Import" without selecting a file. You
    should see an alert, this time with the translated text

It's used to detect translatable strings in .inc/.tt for the older translation system

Pushed to master for 23.05.

Nice work everyone, thanks!
Comment 19 Matt Blenkinsop 2023-02-28 10:15:48 UTC
Nice work everyone!

Pushed to stable for 22.11.x
Comment 20 Lucas Gass (lukeg) 2023-03-08 13:20:47 UTC
No patron-autocomplete.js in 22.05.x so this does not apply. No backport.
