Author: Denis Barbier <barbier@linuxfr.org>
Abbrev: pd
Type: source
Info: This looks for common mistakes in packages using po-debconf(7).
Needs-Info: unpacked
Tag: not-using-po-debconf
Severity: serious
Certainty: certain
Info: This package seems to be using debconf templates, but it does not
use po-debconf to make translations possible (<tt>debian/po</tt> doesn't
exist). Debian Policy requires that all packages using debconf use a
gettext-based translation system. If this package uses one other than
po-debconf, please report this as a lintian bug along with how to detect
that system.
Ref: policy 3.9.1
Tag: untranslatable-debconf-templates
Severity: serious
Certainty: possible
Info: This package seems to be using debconf templates, but some
descriptions are not translatable. You should prepend an underscore
before every translatable field, as described in po-debconf(7). This
may mean that translators weren't properly warned about new strings.
.
Translators may be notified of changes using podebconf-report-po, for
example:
.
podebconf-report-po --call --withtranslators --deadline="+10 days" \
--languageteam
.
If the field is not intended for users to see, ensure the first line
of the description contains "for internal use".
Ref: policy 3.9.1
Tag: stray-translated-debconf-templates
Severity: normal
Certainty: certain
Info: This package contains a file named *templates.XX or
*templates.XX_XX. This was the naming convention for the translated
templates merged using debconf-mergetemplate. Since the package is using
po-debconf, these files should be replaced by language-specific files in
the <tt>debian/po</tt> directory and should no longer be needed.
Tag: missing-potfiles-in
Severity: normal
Certainty: certain
Info: The required file <tt>POTFILES.in</tt> is missing from
<tt>debian/po</tt>.
Ref: po-debconf(7)
Tag: missing-file-from-potfiles-in
Severity: normal
Certainty: certain
Info: A file listed in <tt>debian/po/POTFILES.in</tt> could not be found
in the source package.
Ref: po-debconf(7)
Tag: missing-templates-pot
Severity: normal
Certainty: certain
Info: The required file <tt>templates.pot</tt> is missing from
<tt>debian/po</tt>.
Ref: po-debconf(7)
Tag: unknown-encoding-in-po-file
Severity: normal
Certainty: certain
Info: Encoding must be declared in PO files. Otherwise, charset
conversions cannot be performed.
Tag: invalid-po-file
Severity: normal
Certainty: certain
Info: Errors were found in the listed PO file that will cause its content
to be discarded. Run <tt>msgfmt</tt> on the file to see the error
messages.
Tag: debconf-translation-using-general-list
Severity: normal
Certainty: certain
Info: This debconf translation is using the general debconf-i18n list as
the address in the Language-Team field.
.
The intended purpose of the Language-Team field is to be an additional
contact for new translation requests in addition to the previous
translator (as recorded in Last-Translator). The field should therefore
point to a mailing list dedicated to the language of this PO file, not
the general list for translation discussions.
Tag: misnamed-po-file
Severity: normal
Certainty: possible
Info: The name of this PO file doesn't appear to be a valid language
code. Any files in <tt>debian/po</tt> ending in <tt>.po</tt> will be
processed as translations by po2debconf for the language code equal to
the file name without the trailing <tt>.po</tt>. If the file name does
not correctly reflect the language of the translation, the translation
will not be accessible to users of that language.
.
If this file isn't actually a PO file, rename it to something that
doesn't end in <tt>.po</tt> or move it to another directory so that
translation merging programs will not be confused.
Tag: newer-debconf-templates
Severity: normal
Certainty: possible
Info: debconf-updatepo has not been run since the last change to your
debconf templates.
.
You should run debconf-updatepo whenever debconf templates files are
changed so that translators can be warned that their files are
outdated.
.
This can be ensured by running debconf-updatepo in the 'clean' target
of <tt>debian/rules</tt>. PO files will then always be up-to-date when
building the source package.
Tag: translated-default-field
Severity: normal
Certainty: possible
Info: You should not mark as translatable "Default:" or "DefaultChoice:"
fields, unless explicitly needed (e.g. default country, default language,
etc.). If this Default field really should be translated, you should
explain translators how they should translate it by using comments or
brackets. For example:
.
# Translators: Default language name, but not translated
_Default: English
.
Or:
.
_Default: English[ Default language name, but not translated]
.
Note that in the first case, Lintian ignores the comment unless it
explicitly references translators and it is appears directly before
the field in question.

Tag: no-complete-debconf-translation
Severity: wishlist
Certainty: possible
Info: Even though this package provides debconf translation support, there
are no translations or none of the translations are complete. This may
mean that translators weren't properly warned about new strings.
.
Translators may be notified of changes using podebconf-report-po, for
example:
.
podebconf-report-po --call --withtranslators --deadline="+10 days" \
--languageteam
