Hi everyone,

when I mouse-hover over a metacontact with mulitple protocols, its info panel pops up and it looks like this:

When I do the same for a metacontact with only one protocol, I don't get these all-caps lines.

I'm running kopete 0.12.2. but this error occured suddenly (no changes from me, IIRC) when I was still running a 0.10.x version.

Is there any setting that I have missed? Is this a bug?

You probably need the correct i18n package for your distribution and KDE version. I had the same problem after I updated my KDE installation and missed the i18n package. After installing the updated i18n package, the problem was gone.

In fact, you only need to update the i18n-file for kopete, which is located in /opt/kde3/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/kopete.mo

download http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/branche…twork/kopete.po and the use the following command to build your kopete.mo-file:

	Source code
1	msgfmt kopete.po -o kopete.mo

Place the resulting file in opt/kde3/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/ and be sure to back up the existing file (if there is an existing file).

Sorry, if this seems stupid, but download how (copy, paste as text file?) and where to? I can't get that command to work.

Simply issue the following command on Konsole:

	Source code
1	wget http://websvn.kde.org/checkout/branches/stable/l10n/de/messages/kdenetwork/kopete.po

The next step is compiling the file

	Source code
1	msgfmt kopete.po -o kopete.mo

You need to install the package "gettext" in order to have "msgfmt" available.

Then copy the resulting file to the mentioned location.

Thanks, that worked!

Do I need to keep the kopete.po and the kopete.mo I created in my home folder or can I delete those?

Well, you do not really need them anymore, but I would a least keep kopete.po, just in case I need to compile it once again.

Is the metacontact-info now formatted correctly?

OK, I'll keep that.

Yep, the formatting now shows without those all-caps lines and is now much clearer and easier to read.

Thanks again.
