AppleGlot Blues #2: Camino 1.6b2

The new Sparkle update system worked as expected and notified me (using Camino 1.6a1) that betas were available.
In the meantime, Smokey provided us with a possible fix for troubles affecting the old CaminoFramework+Palette package (it worked OK for me with Leopard on Intel, we're waiting some positive results on PPC before releasing the new package on this site).

I then went to my AppleGlot Camino environment and updated the Italian l10n to 1.6b2. First, thanks to the new Universal Binary framework, AppleGlot stopped complaining and run quietly all its passes. Here are the casualties that I found after the AppleGlot treatment. This list is meant as an help for other localizers, anyway, until better AppleGlot days, its better to plan a thorough package inspection everytime a l10n is updated: results may vary among different languages.

  • AppleGlot found updated strings in the following files and passed them to the working glossary:
    PreferencePanes/General.prefPane/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings
    PreferencePanes/History.prefPane/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings
    PreferencePanes/Privacy.prefPane/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings
    Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
    Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings
  • As far as I know, all .strings files were correctly processed.
  • I left the Sparkle framework untouched, like the last time, since we plan to include the already translated packages available for the Sparkle project.
  • AppleGlot ".nib ignorance" affected the following UI elements:
    • General preferences pane (nearly all of the translated strings were gone)
    • New Keychain exclusions manager in Privacy preferences pane (totally unrecognized by AppleGlot)
    • New search engine editor (totally unrecognized by AppleGlot)
    • New find bar (how cool! - totally unrecognized by AppleGlot)
