Description
Environment
- Python Version: 3.10
- Nikola Version: Nikola v8.3.1
- Operating System: GNU/Linux
Description:
When creating a theme that provides additional translated message, the messages provided by Nikola are no longer translated.
Expected
The messages provided by Nikola are till present in the translation.
Reproduce
To reproduce the issue, we call load_messages like nikola would do in a project.
- Save this code to a file called
translations-bug.py
from nikola.utils import load_messages
# mimic the arguments "nkola build" would pass
msgs = load_messages(
['my-themes/dummy', 'nikola/data/themes/base'],
{'de': ''},
'de',
['themes'])
for s in (
"Posted:", # string translated in "base" theme
"My new message", # string translated in dummy theme
):
if s not in msgs["de"]:
print(f"{s:<20} string missing")
elif msgs["de"][s] == s:
print(f"{s:<20} not translated")
else:
print(f"{s:<20} translated to {msgs['de'][s]}")
- Run it like this:
MSG_FILE='my-themes/dummy/messages/messages_de.py'
MSG_DIR=$(dirname $MSG_FILE)
mkdir -p $MSG_DIR
echo '===== Without translation file in theme ---'
rm -rf $MSG_DIR/*
python translations-bug.py
echo
echo '===== With translation file in theme ---'
rm -rf $MSG_DIR/*
echo > $MSG_FILE 'MESSAGES = {"My new message": "Meine neue Meldung"}'
python translations-bug.py
echo
echo '===== With translation file containing no strings in theme ---'
rm -rf $MSG_DIR/*
echo > $MSG_FILE 'MESSAGES = {}'
python translations-bug.py
Output:
===== Without translation file in theme ---
Posted: translated to Veröffentlicht:
My new message string missing
===== With translation file in theme ---
Posted: not translated
My new message translated to Meine neue Meldung
===== With translation file containing no strings in theme ---
Posted: not translated
My new message string missing
Expected output:
===== Without translation file in theme ---
Posted: translated to Veröffentlicht:
My new message string missing
===== With translation file in theme ---
Posted: translated to Veröffentlicht:
My new message translated to Meine neue Meldung
===== With translation file containing no strings in theme ---
Posted: translated to Veröffentlicht:
My new message string missing
