Localization banner in harbour

Hello, i noticed that Gnome Software on the computer has an header that say (in the screenshot case) “this app will appear in american english” and then a button that asks you to contribute to the translation and redirects you to the app github (or whatever)

would be nice to have that too in harbour (and even iin chum / openrepos) so we could know if an app has already been translated or not…

Agreed, although the way it works in GNOME isn’t perfect. It often wrongly claims applications will display in English despite a translation being available and working once installed. I think it’s based on some percentage of strings being translated.

Yeah i know, that particular app in fact is already in italian and as of now it should be 85% or 90% translated already

Yet gnome software claims it’s in english

It’s prone to errors i would say, but in a certain way this will also remind you new words are out

We can almost say it’s actually useful xD

Well, the banner could show how much (in percentage) of the app has been translated to the system language. That way it would be relevant to every users preference.

That would be a very nice idea indeed, it’s a shame harbour development halted years ago…

Indon’t think that information is available in the rpm package. It’s only in the source tree.

Yes, I understand it would require manual work from the maintainer, or some kind of a monster API to connect to all the different ways to implement translations in the source tree. And neither of these is a desirable way to handle things.
