[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 694665] Re: Square blocks shown instead of translated strings in some areas (when language is set to marathi)

[Gerfried Fuchs]

One thing to "fix" this is to disable the language from the selection
all together. This though might hinder translators in that language and
won't improve the situation to get the translation into better shape.
Thus I am setting this bugreport to status "won't fix" and suggested to
upstream translation team to at least also add font information into the
translation so that people interested in giving it a try will be able to
install the corresponding font and work from there. The competion state
of the translation though doesn't warrant any dependency on such a font
and thus none is included (and won't be, for the forseeable future).

As long as not even the basic "wesnoth" domain is translated completely
it doesn't make sense to have this language fully supported. There is
talks going on about potentially having a build switch to disable such
languages during the build process, but I'm uncertain whether that might
happen (and this is nothing that will happen inside Ubuntu or Debian,
this has to happen in the Upstream code).

Thanks for understanding,
Rhonda

Title:
  Square blocks shown instead of translated strings in some areas (when
  language is set to marathi)

Status in “wesnoth-1.8” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: wesnoth-1.8

  I am taking a look at translated UI of Wesnoth and also trying to do
  some of my own translations. The language of translations is Marathi
  (mr_IN.UTF-8). The problem is that I see square blocks in some areas
  of game instead of translated strings. This seems to be mostly affect
  action widgets (where I click mouse) such as menus, buttons etc. There
  is no problem in translation display for labels such as story
  narration, unit descriptions, dialogs etc.

  Please find attached the screenshots. One shows problem while other
  doesn't. Please note that translation strings shown here are not
  present in original package. But the issue is seen with the strings
  available in package also (specifically 'Actions' menu after starting
  a campaign).
