Hi Luca,
I just worked on translating the message strings for systemd-boot-installer into German.
I stumbled on this message:
#. Type: select
#. Description
#. :sl3:
#: ../systemd-boot-installer.templates:3001
msgid "Number of retries per boot entry (0 to disable):"
msgstr ""
I wonder, if this can/should be extended somehow:
"Number of retries" - what happens there multiple times?
Does the system try to boot multiple times in case of failures, or ... ?
And what is "disabled" ?
What does not happen then (or what happens instead) if function is disabled?
Sorry, that I did not catch this before!
I should probably add a link to:
https://systemd.io/AUTOMATIC_BOOT_ASSESSMENT/
where everything is explained in detail. Disabled means just that,
this logic is disabled.
We will probably need to change the message, so that translators (and users) get a chance, to know what the question is talking about :-)
Will see...
Speaking of translations, do you happen to know why this bot keeps
switching back from systemd-boot to grub? I've fixed a couple of times
but it keeps putting it back:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/systemd-boot-installer/-/commit/1ef1943af2ec6ce383c3dd9f57e1526df1eee096
This is normal. The 'bot' is just doing its job :-))
The debian-installer is different compared to other packages, when it comes
to translations.
There is a script ("l10n-sync", you call it "the bot") running daily and managing all the translations files (po files) for all packages belonging
to the installer (systemd-boot-installer is also a part of this group).
The translator people are not working on the packages directly (for example, they don't work on po files in/from systemd-boot-installer), but on the so-called D-I PO MASTER FILES.
You can find them here:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/-/tree/master/packages/po?ref_type=heads
The messages from systemd-boot-installer can be found in the po files
within sublevel3.
That's the files, where translators (or package maintainers as you :-) )
can insert changes.
Those changes are then injected into the packages during the following night.
In other words: the only "user" who is allowed to change the po files in
your package, is "the bot" (named l10n-sync, running on dillon)!
BTW: every po file in your package has a big fat warning at the top of
the file saying
# THIS FILE IS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY FROM THE D-I PO MASTER FILES
# The master files can be found under packages/po/
#
# DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE DIRECTLY: SUCH CHANGES WILL BE LOST
So, the bot is correct :-p
Regards
Holger
