Works with SC 7.3 and controller r3220

Works for me with SC 7.2.1 and controller r3191

MAC / SC / Controller all set to Svenska (Swidish?)

Please let me know if I have the right language tested, then please retest and post if you still have an issue.

I have Swedish ("Svenska") on Win XP / SC / Controller.

I installed the latest 7.2.1 nightly (SqueezeCenter-version: 7.2.1 - 23715 @ Wed Oct 29 11:55:19 PDT 2008 - Windows XP - SV - cp1252) (and even rebooted), which forced an update of the Controller to r3191.

I then tested again and the initial message (after the screen "Free your music.", which I gather is not supposed to be translated) is still not translated into Swedish.

I admit this is a minor flaw, and with the ever decreasing time to initially connect it becomes less important... It is strange, however, that you cannot reproduce the behaviour (on your Mac), which I think has been this way ever since the official Swedish version came. I took the liberty of reopening the bug.

What's that first message? And did you configure your SC to use Swedish, too?

When the Controller boots it displays first the Logitech logo and then a screen showing the text "Free your music.", accompanied by a sound. Thereafter the Controller shows a screen saying "Connecting to [player namne]" (in English instead of Swedish).

Swedish ("Svenska") is chosen on both the Controller and SqueezeCenter. SqueezeCenter runs on a PC using Windows XP, Swedish version (with Swedish key board layout).

Mine says "Ansluter till Staubfänger" (FW3206)

That is what I expexted to see on my device (apart from the "Staubfänger" [Dust Buster?] bit), but didn't.

If the behaviour cannot be reproduced, could it be something with my installation?

I have looked around the Controller UI and everything else seems translated into Swedish; also the messages "Connecting to [player name]", when switching players, and "Connecting to [music source]". One exception though: In the screensaver screen (Settings / Screen / Screensaver) the option "When stopped" is not translated into Swedish.

Michael, your thoughts on this one?

Vagskal, can you try uninstalling SC 7.2.1 then re-installing it?

don't know the Controller innards good enough. That's a string which obviously isn't served by SC. Ben?

mine to investigate...

the string on that window is loaded from SlimBrowserApplet.lua, in the following code snippet:

-- full screen popup that appears until menus are loaded
local function _connectingToPlayer(self)
     ...
        local label = Label("text", self:string("SLIMBROWSER_CONNECTING_TO", playerName))

so, the translation comes from:
self:string("SLIMBROWSER_CONNECTING_TO")

which pulls from SlimBrowser's strings.txt file:


SLIMBROWSER_CONNECTING_TO
        DA      Etablerer forbindelse til\n%s
        DE      Verbindung mit %s
        EN      Connecting to\n%s
        ES      Conectando a\n%s
        FI      Yhdistetään kohteeseen\n%s
        FR      Connexion à %s
        IT      Connessione a %s
        NL      Er wordt een verbinding met %s gemaakt
        NO      Kopler til\n%s
        SV      Ansluter till \n%s

like Michael, mine says "Ansluter till Office Boom!" when connecting (however, I'm on 7.3 firmware, r3232)

Vagskal, my recommendation is to do a Settings->Advanced->Factory Reset and see if the problem persists after going through setup again.

FYI, SC has nothing to do with this bug, translation is fully delivered from the controller.

I have done a factory reset (two in fact, one using home and add button when restaring the Controller and one using the menu option on the Controller suggested by Ben Klaas in Comment #11) but the behaviour persists on my controller. (The fatory resets in fact revealed an interesting mix of langues...)

I thereafter, also, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest nightly of SC 7.2.1 (SqueezeCenter-version: 7.2.1 - 23736 @ Fri Oct 31 02:04:14 PDT 2008 - Windows XP - SV - cp1252), but no change in the reported behaviour.

this isn't going to be fixed by 7.3. retarget for 7.3.1

Vagskal, you can ignore any advice to reinstall SqueezeCenter. This is definitely a controller-side issue only. Suggestion is to wait until official 7.3 release of SqueezeCenter (which will then provide 7.3 Controller firmware), and retest at that time.

Retarget and revisit before 7.3.1

OK. Will do. Thanks.

Could you be so kind as to see if some other language issues I discovered in the Swedish version of the Controller UI could also be fixed by then:

1. In the screensaver screen (Settings / Screen / Screensaver) the option "When stopped" is not translated into Swedish.

2. When switching languages in the Controller UI from Swedish ("Svenska") to English, the message "Loading English" is correctly displayed. But when switching the other way around, i.e. from English to Swedish ("Svenska") the message "Läser in engelska" (i.e. loading English) is displayed instead of "Läser in svenska" (i.e. loading Swedish).

3. The Classic Clock screen saver is not translated into Swedish, i.e. the weekday ("Monday", or "Mon", instead of "mändag",or "mån") and the abbreviations for the weekdays (M, T, W, F, S, S in stead of m, t, o t, f, l s)

4. When setting up the Controller after a factory reset there was a mixture of English/Swedish (after Swedish, "Svenska", was chosen as laguage). I cannot remember exactly what the problem was and I do not want to do yet another factory reset.

that's bug 9856

After updating to 7.3 latest nightly (on the Controller 7.3 r3437), the initial message is translated correctly, i.e. "Ansluter till [player name]".

The very first screen with text after a restart, i.e. the slogan "Free your music.", is however not translated into Swedish ("Släpp musiken fri."), which it is on the screen of my SB3 and my Boom.

The other translation flaws mentioned in Comment #14 seem to persist (at least no. 1 and 3, whish I checked).

Changing target to next release

with only these exceptions, my bug list is being retargetted for 8.0

for 7.3.2 (very soon):

Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code.  Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the single original product.

Slogans usually aren't translated.

This issue is still prevailing:

The very first screen with text after a restart, i.e. the slogan "Free your
music.", is however not translated into Swedish ("Släpp musiken fri."), which
it is on the screen of my SB3 and my Boom.

Perhaps it should be that way for some reason?
