gpscorrelate not translated in Ubuntu

Asked by J-Paul BERARD

On the git repository of gpscorrelate, the french .po file is available.
The french documentation is available as well and is installed with the app on Ubuntu desktop.
But :
* gpscorrelate-gui stay displayed in english. I have added manually the french .mo file (from the french .po file) to /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ but it doesn't fix the issue.
* no documentation appears when you click the Help button

Is it possible to fix that ? Thanks.

Ubuntu is copying most packages from Debian (to avoid double packaging work) and this is also true for gpscorrelate(-gui). You can identify that by looking at the version number which does not contain the string "ubuntu" and is the same as in Debian https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gpscorrelate
It seems to me that the Debian package does not use translations at all, and that is also the same for the package in Ubuntu.
I suggest that you ask your question at Debian.org. When Debian changes their packaging, Ubuntu will follow.

But I check just now the Debian repository at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gpscorrelate and there is the translation folder with the french .po file…

Yes, the .po file is available in the source directory, but it is not put into the installable package, see e.g. https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/gpscorrelate/filelist and https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/gpscorrelate-gui/filelist

You are right.
Difficult to understand why the packages are present somewhere and disappear elsewhere…
I have written to the maintainer of the Debian package.

Can you help with this problem?
