locale not found error because of (wrong: typo in setup.py) missing compilation before egg build

[anonymous]

in setup.py

I had to change: 'locale/*/LC_MESSAGS/*.mo'

in: 'locale/*/LC_MESSAGS/*.po'

else I got an error complaining about missing wikiticketcalendar/locale

the ticket system was complaining about keyword "MESSAG3", so i could not post this BUG. is that another bug?

Reassigning to hasienda, who has been doing the development.

This is not a bug, this is the feature.

Did you try with you modification? Certainly not. Think twice, please: PO files are verbatim translations for development, but MO are what gettext will use in the end. If you get an error complaining about missing locale dir, this is only for the fact, that you missed to actually compile any catalog with

python ./setup.py compile_catalog

before you make the egg. With a PO in your egg you'd never see any translated text. So the error is correct, your complaint and proposed solution is invalid.

However I'll happily accept a documentation bug against the wiki page, because I did give no pointer for novice in the field of i18n/l10n.

Sorry for the inconvenience, documentation will be improved instantly.

[Steffen Hoffmann]

Done, see current wiki page for WikiTicketCalendarMacro.

• For consistency I handled this in the same way queries do. The dropdown will still show $USER, but it will be replaced with the current user when actually modifying the ticket.

Please ignore the above. I put the wrong ticket number in my commit message. Should have been #7720. :(
