44207 - MT4 miss to check DONT_TRANSLATE

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Mozilla Localizations Graveyard :: MozillaTranslator, defect, P3)

Description

[Ryoichi Furukawa]

In perf/pref-fonts.dtd, there is LOCALIZATION NOTE as follows.

<!-- LOCALIZATION NOTE (size1.option): DONT_TRANSLATE -->
<!ENTITY  size.label                              "Size:">

MT4 check DONT_TRANLATE box on size.label.

This is MT4's miss? or, pref/pref-fonts.dtd is wrong?

[Henrik Lynggaard Hansen]

As it is now, MT4 doesn't check to see if the key's match ( size1.option versus 
size.label ), but allways asumes that the comment is places just before the key 
that it is meant for. 

I'll look into doing some better check on the scope, but it wont be until after 
my vacation (which is the next 3 weeks)

version 5.00 does not support the localization note feature because of the
switch to a real xml parser.

it might come back later

Comment 3

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

The MozillaTranslator component is moving to the Mozilla Localisations product.

Reassigning every MT bug to me.

Comment 5

[RickieES aka Ricardo Palomares]

I think it would be better to close this bug (which actually talks about MT 4 and not MT 5) and open another one to implement parsing of localization notes. Any comments on this?

I've filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363691 to bring back localization notes parsing into MT 5.1x, so I'm closing this bug.

Marking as WONTFIX since it doesn't apply to MT 5.x, but MT 4.
