    Generally the package name is not translated, but the package description is.

    E.g. GIMP or Firefox are always called that way regardless of the system language. However, “Firefox webbrowser” or “GIMP image manipulation program” are translated.

    Strong concept ACK (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15894#discussion_r297326036).
  8. MarcoFalke commented at 3:25 pm on June 26, 2019: member

    The GUI never picked up the translation anyway, so there shouldn’t be any user-facing changes other than in InitErrors (See the difference between “Bitcoin Core” and “Bitcoin Kern”):

    Edit: So I’d say to backport this change to 0.18.1

    @MarcoFalke

    So I’d say to backport this change to 0.18.1

    What would be the benefit of backporting this? Isn’t it just a simplification to the code that wont have any user facing effects?

  15. MarcoFalke commented at 2:58 am on June 27, 2019: member
    Only the following instances are translated: git grep '_(PACKA', but not the others.

    The only user-visible impact would be the InitErrors, I guess. It also reduces the workload of translators a bit by removing one(!) translation message. I don’t think it’s strictly necessary for backport but as there’s really no added risk it doesn’t hurt either.

    Is the qt: Run «make translate» in ./src/ commit (fab85208f678ba1be53bdb73a73ce3c5c937d448) a subject to review? It seems it should be a part of the release process, right?
  20. MarcoFalke commented at 4:27 pm on June 27, 2019: member
    Yes, it is subject to review, since I changed the buildfile and reviewers will need to check that the new buildfile works as expected anyway (with or without my commit).
  21. hebasto commented at 6:52 pm on June 27, 2019: member
    Is any reason to keep both PACKAGE_NAME and COPYRIGHT_HOLDERS_SUBSTITUTION?

  23. MarcoFalke commented at 7:54 pm on June 27, 2019: member
    I changed it so that COPYRIGHT_HOLDERS_SUBSTITUTION is also no longer translated, but I kept it for now. Maybe @luke-jr knows more why it is needed.

    Generally, COPYRIGHT_HOLDERS_SUBSTITUTION should be “Bitcoin Core” even for software that isn’t named “Bitcoin Core”.

    Regarding the PR itself: Should we get input from translators who have been using translated package names for a long time?

    It can’t hurt to ask people’s input, but I’m not sure this makes much of a difference. E.g. are there any other occurences of “Bitcoin core” in the translated messages that shouldn’t be translated?

    It doesn’t look like it:

    Is this still a candidate for backport? It’s likely missed v0.18.1 unless we have an rc2. But could still be pulled into the v0.18 branch if wanted.
