The CUPS package contains a handy shortcut "Manage Printing" for Linux desktops (KDE/GNOME). In the source tree it's the 'desktop/cups.desktop' file and it instructs to exec 'htmlview http://localhost:631/'. However, its Name and Comment entries are translated only to Spanish (apart from English, of course). Which is a bit odd, since the rest of the Web interface is neatly translated into several other languages.
I've checked the cups-1.2.1, 1.2.2 and 1.3svn-r5823 versions and the file in question is the same in all releases. I've been told [1] to bring this problem to the CUPS developers and so I do. I already created a patch [2] against cups-1.2.1, but I regenerated it against cups-1.2.2.
The attached patch adds two entries ("Name[pl]=" and "Comment[pl]=") to the 'cups.desktop' file, along with translated text. Please review the patch and apply against the aforementioned versions if possible. Also note that the included patch is encoded in UTF-8.
With best regards,
Wiktor Wandachowicz
PS.
It also may be of benefit to add further translated entries to this .desktop file. Please consider adding the 'cups.desktop' to the list of files that should be translated with every CUPS revision.
Hi, can you please also change htmlview to xdg-open in the .desktop file while at it? xdg-open is provided by the portland freedesktop project in the new xdg utils package. It seems more standard than htmlview to me. Thanks
We probably won't change to xdg-open right now; it is possible we can check for it at configure time, however I'm not aware of any OS that provides the xdg-open program standard, and until we see wider adoption of xdg-open it doesn't make any sense to switch... htmlview is pretty much universally available on Linux...
