1422766 - [es-CL] Strings longer than allowed in pipnss.properties

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: es-CL / Spanish (Chile), defect)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

pipnss.properties includes a few special strings with hard length limits
https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n/gecko-strings/file/default/security/manager/chrome/pipnss/pipnss.properties#l10

Once converted to UTF-8, the string needs to be shorter than the specified limit (32 or 64 bytes), otherwise it will be truncated in the interface.

There are currently some strings in your localization that exceed this limit and need to be fixed:

- Fips140TokenDescription (Dispositivo de seguridad de software (FIPS)) is longer than 32 bytes (current length: 43 bytes)
- InternalToken (Dispositivo de software de seguridad) is longer than 32 bytes (current length: 36 bytes)
- LibraryDescription (Servicios de criptografía interna PSM) is longer than 32 bytes (current length: 38 bytes)
- TokenDescription (Servicios de criptografía genéricos) is longer than 32 bytes (current length: 37 bytes)
- TokenDescription (Servicios de criptografía genéricos) is longer than 32 bytes (current length: 37 bytes)

Strings are available in this file in Pontoon

***
HOW TO FIX THIS BUG

To check the length of a string, you can use the Browser Console in Firefox:
1. Open Tools->Web Developer->Browser Console
2. In the input field at the bottom of the window copy and paste the following code, replacing YOURSTRING with your actual translation, keeping the surrounding quotes

(new TextEncoder('utf-8').encode('YOURSTRING')).length

3. Press enter

The number displayed is the current string length.

One important consideration: it might be impossible for some languages to come up with a reasonable translation within these limits, since the length in bytes does not match the length in characters. For example: "cookie" is 6 bytes, "కుకీలు" is 18 bytes.

In this case, it's better to keep the English text than a translation that won't be understandable because of truncations.

Richard, is there anyone keeping an eye on bugs for es-CL?

Hi Flod,
this bug was under the radar for me. I think I'm the only one that have bugzilla set to send me a mail for this component.

I sent the new translations via pontoon some minutes ago, please check.

Thanks!

It would be great to have at least another person looking at the component.

In the meantime, I can confirm that the problem is fixed.
