129530 - IMAP folder names still not changed to localized strings in status bar

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Localization, defect)

Description

[Marek Wawoczny]

Seems that in IMAP some strings are still not changed to localized strings (for example when getting new mail in status bar I've got INBOX instead of localized string), see screenshoot (this string should be changed to localized, bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57440 is already fixed).

Screenshoot: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=72956

Nominating for nsbeta1. It will be very confusing for users who are using a
localized build.

Comment 2

[Frank Tang]

which part is the localized string for INBOX in the screenshot ?

"Odebrane wiadmosci" == INBOX ?

It looks like from the screen shot the status bar show
"INBOX Odebrane: Naglowek wiadmosci"
What it SHOULD be ?
Should it be "Odebrane: Naglowek wiadmosci"  ?

I really don't think this should be nsbeta1+. It looks we show English
information IN ADDITIOANL to the localized folder name. Will that confuse user ?

"Odebrane wiadmosci" == INBOX

String in status bar is from string:
imapMsgs.properties - 5036: %S Receiving: Message headers %lu of %lu

"Odbieranie" == Receiving
%S it is folder name

so it should be:
"Odebrane wiadomosci Odbieranie: Naglowek wiadomosci %lu z %lu"

Similar strings are: 5037 and 5045

So in general we are showing English information INSTEAD localized.

Renominating.

nsbeta1+ per i18n triage

Comment 7

Reassign to nhotta.

Comment 8

[nhottanscp]

I think the folder name shows in the status bar not frequently happen.
E.g. 
getting headers of INBOX after connecting the server
select trash and downloading headers

I re-nominate for triage this again.

[nhottanscp]

nsbeta1- per i18n triage

[Marek Wawoczny]

Seems that not only IMAP folder are not localized in status bar - the same thing happens for POP3. I think that folder names are not localized in all strings from localMsgs.properties and imapMsgs.properties.

I am and will check

Comment 20

[Antony]

Attachment: Localised under INBOX.png

My main work account - IMAP, showing my folders (localised - if I understand correctly) under INBOX

Comment 21

[Antony]

Attachment: Same account But std IMAP folders OUTSIDE INBOX.png

SPM account with the standard IMAP folders - so separate to the INBOX (outside)

Comment 22

[Antony]

Attachment: Locallised Inside INBOX - none outside as in SPM acc.png

Another account using IMAP, but ONLY localised folders, so under INBOX

Comment 23

[Antony]

Attachment: IMAP Std outside INBOX - Outlook acc.png

My Outlook account , also IMAP, but no localised folders (I seem to recall cannot set these up under Outlook email), so Outside of the INBOX as std IMAP folders

I posted these shots to show my settings. I then set the accounts to use the Localised folders, those under INBOX.

I note that for Sent one can select which folder, for JUNK, one cannot, settings only use the generic IMAP Junk folder, outside of INBOX.

However, maybe I have missed the bug, as not sure about the "Status bar" showing - looks like the shot posted is from a very old version (original?) as 23 yrs ago...!!!!

I do not recall any status msg reflecting which folder emails have been loaded to
