Bug Description

The current Welcome translation says "Tervetuloa NearBy-laajuuteen", which is incorrectly using a non-comprehensible and wrong translation for scopes. It should be "Tervetuloa NearBy-näkymään" to be consistent with the rest of the system.

I'd also vote for translating the untranslated scope name so that "NearBy"="Lähellä". This would make the welcome text "Tervetuloa Lähellä-näkymään" and have the "Lähellä" text as the title instead of NearBy. This translation has been agreed with the top two Finnish translators of Ubuntu Phone.

Neither of these seem to be translatable at https://translations.launchpad.net/nearby-scope for some reason.

Hi,

This phrase is provided by the so-called "hints" scope. The hints scope provides quick start info for some aggregator scopes.

I have added your translation.

This will be available in the next release of hints scope.

Thank you for pointing this out!.

Regarding the second point: "NearBy" is considered a word that identifies the scope in a brand-like way (like "Firefox", or "Facebook") and so is not translated.

Thanks a lot, for the fix and an explanation!

For future, it'd be nice to get hints scope also publicly translatable like some of the others.

Hi Penk,

I released 0.3.6 of hints scope into clicks branch. The only change is this translation fix, so it is safe to release. Assigned bug to you.

Looks like it's translateable in LP itself.

No, the translations don't have the string mentioned.

Update:

The Nearby scope no longer provides that first use quick start help welcome message. (not sure if that was intentional). So the translation issue is no longer valid.

Also, the model previously used where agg scopes get their quick start help from a separate hints scope is no longer in use. As of scope-aggregator [1] release 4.8 (rev 164), an aggregator scope may provide its own quick start help and no-network/no-location messages. Nearby scope 4.8.0 [2] started using this "local hints" support.
