dell-recovery download translations names files poorly

Asked by Mario Limonciello

Hi:

I'm trying to use rosetta to do translations for my project, dell-recovery, but running into difficulties whenever I try to import the strings.

The downloaded tar.gz has all of the files suffixed with dell-recovery. For example for Italian, rather than it.po, it is named dell-recovery-it.po. This makes it very difficult to just download the translations directly into the po/ directory for my project. Is there a particular reason this keeps happening, or a way to prevent it? I would really like to be able to just download the translations and import them directly into my project.

I am sorry, this is not your fault and currently there is nothing you can do about it. I discovered this problem a few months back but forgot to file a bug about it. I did that now.

The reason is that we cannot be sure that PO files for different templates end up in the same directory, so we prepend the template name (or is it translation domain?) to the file names not prevent the tar archive from breaking because of duplicate file names.
