[bug#74190] [PATCH 0/3] install: Enable pt_BR translation.

[Florian Pelz]

Hello.  The goal of these patches is to make the pt_BR translation,
that had been expanded much on Weblate recently,
usable in the Guix System latest installer.

Florian Pelz (3):
  install: Open info manuals that have region codes.
  install: Change the territory when we have learned it.
  gnu: info-reader: Inherit from texinfo-7.

[bug#74190] [PATCH 1/3] install: Open info manuals that have region codes.

[Florian Pelz]

Because pt_PT and pt_BR have many differences, such as how
the word “file” gets translated, Guix’ pt_BR info manual is
called (guix.pt_BR) instead of (guix.pt).

* gnu/system/install.scm (log-to-info): Try region coded manual
file names.
(%installation-node-names): Add node names for pt_BR and zh_CN.

Change-Id: I89beebd323ee69ca83c22321c9d9e664b32cf6f3
---
NOTE: This patch also causes the Chinese manual to be opened for zh_CN,
which is somewhat broken during installation, because Chinese characters
cannot be displayed on an ordinary TTY.  I have made only trivial
attempts to run kmscon from documentation-shepherd-service, which failed.
But including this patch still seems proper to me despite trouble with
zh_CN.

pt_BR is also troubled by the texinfo info-reader crashing, which is
addressed in patch 3/3.

LGTM!

[bug#74190] [PATCH 2/3] install: Change the territory when we have learned it.

[Florian Pelz]

Typically, the LANGUAGE has already been set in the run-language-page
step.  But for languages like pt, we must know the territory.

gnu/installer/newt/locale.scm (run-territory-page): Switch to
the territory before returning it.

Instead of “Switch to…”, I’d write “Call ‘setenv’ for the ‘LANGUAGE’
variable.”

Does that have an effect though: isn’t the Info reader already running
at this point?

Thanks,

Please add a comment explaining why this particular version of Texinfo
is needed.

Any idea why the Info reader crashes specifically for this locale?  Does
it work with, say, de_DE.utf8?

[bug#74190] [PATCH 0/3] install: Enable pt_BR translation.

[pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)]

Hello Krascovict and thank you for translating.

Note that I do not speak Portuguese.

Krascovict Petrov <krascovict@yandex.ru> writes:
> In this case I am in doubt about translations of functions (inside the

Generally no, but you can look at the string in Weblate in other
languages like Spanish or French.  See if they have translated it.
For example, if a variable name is defined with (define), in a few
cases, it is possible to translate it, but it must be translated
everywhere the same way.

Alternatively you would have to test in Guix if it works.

Regards,
Florian

Yes, but I do recommend looking at Spanish or French for difficult,
ambiguous translations, particularly in some services’ ambiguous texts.
100% is a difficult goal for some of them, and correctness is more
important than having a translation.  For example, you and other
translators frequently translated a graph from graph theory like
gráfico, or the /gnu/store store like loja (shop), which I then changed
to the word armazém from Guix’ Portuguese glossary.

Florian

[bug#74190] [PATCH v2 2/3] install: Change the territory when we have learned it.

[Florian Pelz]

Typically, the LANGUAGE has already been set in the run-language-page
step.  But for languages like pt, we must know the territory.

* gnu/installer/newt/locale.scm (run-territory-page): Call ‘setenv’ for
the ‘LANGUAGE’ variable.

Change-Id: Ie6308c359e0bdb2d37fac0c844cfd879e96e231a
---
Note: I’ve tested this in QEMU and with it, a zh_CN, pt_BR locale gets
applied visibly.  Also, it repeats exactly what was done in
‘run-language-page’.  Context: when the installer enters the
encompassing ‘run-locale-page’ procedure, it runs the installer
sub-steps ‘run-language-page’ and ‘run-territory-page’ in
immediate succession with no way to go back just one sub-step.
Esperanto does not go through ‘run-territory-page’ and is not broken
by this change.

Oh well, I’ve found this should not be true for српски (Serbian) when
pressing the back button from the Latin/Cyrillic codeset selection
sub-step.  In theory, it would set an invalid LANGUAGE like sr_RS_RS and
thus print messages in English.  But there is no Serb translation and
the back button does not even work (in current master and 1.4.0).

We could search for some other way to pass the country code to the
run-territory-page other than (getenv "LANGUAGE"), such as set! it in
some variable or strip the territory from (getenv "LANGUAGE").

Is this worth it?  Currently it does not make a difference anyway.

Regards,
Florian

Yeah, let’s not bother too much if it’s purely theoretical at this
point.

[bug#74190] [PATCH v2 3/3] gnu: info-reader: Inherit from texinfo-7.

[Florian Pelz]

Otherwise `LC_ALL=pt_BR.utf8 info` crashes.

* gnu/packages/texinfo.scm (info-reader): Inherit from texinfo-7.

Change-Id: I9eb5873fbc115e0c45f96a16aa05dbca76b92c57

A Web search points at the cause of the Texinfo crash being a typo
in Texinfo’s own po file translations.  If so, Texinfo 6 could be
patched alternatively.

Thank you Ludo for the opinions and noticing what was missing.

Soon the download latest images at
