Description Katrin Fischer 2024-05-13 08:59:34 UTC
When testing the eUsage module in 23.11 we noticed a lot of untranslated strings. It might be worth combing through those files to check all strings are marked for translation correctly and then have a second go checking they show up after translating.

Bug 36836: Fix translation issues in ERM module

This tries to fix multiple translation issues in the ERM module.
This includes:

* Making strings translatable
* Using double quotes instead of single around strings according to
  coding guidelines
* Fixing some translations where the variable was marked for translation,
  but not the strings themselves:  ...>{{ $__(item.tab_name) }}</a

To test:
* Apply patch
* Run yarn build
* Make sure you have a clean work space in git
* Run gulp po:update lang de-DE (or another language)
* Verify the strings from the patch set now appear in the po files
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2024-09-01 21:05:22 UTC
There are some more issues I found but failed to fix.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable about vue can help with these?


1) koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/js/vue/components/ERM/UsageStatisticsReportBuilder.vue

All 4 alert(...) messages

2) koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/js/vue/components/ERM/UsageStatisticsDataProvidersCounterLogs.vue
                    render: function (data, type, row, meta) {
                        const importer = row.borrowernumber
                            ? `<a href="/cgi-bin/koha/members/moremember.pl?borrowernumber=${row.borrowernumber}">Borrowernumber ${row.borrowernumber}</a>`
                            : __("Cronjob")
                        return importer
                    },

I also suspect some other things to not translate, but might be easier to see in the GUI later and report separately.

"Borrowernumber" won't be translatable I'd say.

Try
  "<a href="/cgi-bin/koha/members/moremember.pl?borrowernumber=%s">%s</a>".format(${row.borrowernumber}, __("Borrowernumber %s").format(${row.borrowernumber}))

But I am not sure we want to use "Borrowernumber" here...

I already tried that I think and it didn't pick up the translations. I am a bit confused as to when to use what and mostly looked at other spots "similar" to what I was trying to do. Some notes on the wiki would be quite helpful.

Similar for me, but I thought that could be a discussion for later.

Maybe if this patch is OK we can move them to a separate bug for later, as I am not sure when I can work on the follow-up (already had this patch sitting for a few weeks).

<template> part
  {{ $__("This way") }}

<script> part
  this.$__("This way")

The only exception is when we are trying to translate a string that will be displayed in a DataTable (as we are not using a proper Vue component for that), we need to access the global __() function (see js/vue/i18n/index.js) and so use the regular way:
  __("This way")
Comment 6 Jonathan Druart 2024-09-02 08:57:59 UTC
I have noticed that strings from UsageStatisticsReportBuilder.vue are not picked by the translation script.

The problem is ES6 template literals, same as bug 35374.

Not all the strings, the ones after the first backticks (in getData)
Comment 8 Katrin Fischer 2024-09-02 11:39:35 UTC
I have split out the translation issue for the alerts into a separate bug report:
Bug 37805 - ERM module partially untranslatable

So we can move on with this patch which I believe covers what was working in my tests and have the other problems separate.

Comment 10 Pedro Amorim 2024-10-24 10:36:41 UTC
Some observations thought I don't think blockers:
- $__("(EBSCO)") should this be translatable as it's the name of a service?
- $__("(local)") should this not leave the parenthesis out of the translate string?
- $__("Uploaded on:") should this not leave the colon out of the translate string?
- $__("SUSHI credentials") maybe leave 'SUSHI' out of this and consider just the word 'credentials' for translation?

We could leave it out, but I think it doesn't hurt to have it. I am not sure if EBSCO is used somewhere where they would spell it in Kyrillic or another script, but we keep the option that way.

> - $__("(local)") should this not leave the parenthesis out of the translate

We could totally do that, but I was not sure how - dabbling for the first time in this area. I think it's not a blocker for translation.

> string?
> - $__("Uploaded on:") should this not leave the colon out of the translate
> string?

Again, we could and it might be nice, but I was not sure about how to do a proper concatenation here. There is no general rule and you will find tons of strings with : in the po files.

> - $__("SUSHI credentials") maybe leave 'SUSHI' out of this and consider just
> the word 'credentials' for translation?

In some languages the sequence might be different or, like in German, you need to add a hyphen between words: SUSHI-Logindaten. So no, don't try to make strings more granular, context is important.
