Files: Wrong icon in the dock bar

[gclove]

They are calendar and files applications.
And I'm using elementary OS 5.0 Juno

Thanks for the report! Could you add more details?
Is this permanent? Does it still show the wrong icons after a restart?
Did you do anything that might have caused this?

@gclove Aren't you running your system in Simplified Chinese? I think this is because a translator of Simplified Chinese had translated the icon strings by mistake. The following strings in Files:

https://github.com/elementary/files/blob/bfabe590f7d3254d25585d01e4bda29cd80bb0a1/po/extra/zh_CN.po#L41-L42

is the icon name, and actually should not be translated.

Regarding to Calendar, it seems it was fixed in https://github.com/elementary/calendar/commit/c0949bb889a53ad50c61b9cd268ff4c2299c63c5. However, there's no new release of Calendar after this fix, so the icon is not shown if you're using elementary OS in Simplified Chinese.

Yes, I'm trying out the simplified Chinese elementary .

I think so. Because I restarted it many times. I don't know if dock has icon cache here.

Did you do anything that might have caused this?

In my image, it was good when elementary was first installed.

I later accepted new system patches and application updates, and that became the case.

@gclove So the solution to fix this issue is,

1. One of Chinese Simplified translator (or elementary Weblate admins) remove the translation for the string "system-file-manager" and
2. elementary developers create a new release for File and Calendar

FYI it seems this wrongly added translation has gotten included since Files 4.1.7.

[ryonakano]

@codygarver Would you remove this translation and create a new release for Files (and also for Calendar) to fix this icon issue?

[jeremypw]

Note that the related .po file contains a comment against this entry warning that it should not, in fact be translated. See https://github.com/elementary/files/blob/master/po/extra/extra.pot. Maybe it was translated before that comment was inserted?

It seems that this problem has not been resolved.

[ryonakano]

@Yakumo-Yukari The translation was fixed but unless a new release of Files (and Calendar) is published this issue won't be resolved.

[Yakumo-Yukari]

@ryonakano Ok, thank you for your reminder.

[ryonakano]

@Yakumo-Yukari A new version of Files seems to be released. Could you install updates and check if this issue is fixed?

[Yakumo-Yukari]

@ryonakano Thanks!

[ryonakano]

@Yakumo-Yukari If you confirm the issue has been fixed, you may want to close this issue.

[Yakumo-Yukari]

@ryonakano I can't close it, this is not a problem I submitted.

[ryonakano]

@Yakumo-Yukari Oops, I mistook you for @gclove. My apologies.

[gclove]

@ryonakano @Yakumo-Yukari Oh, thank you very much! ❤️
I will confirm as soon as possible, then close it.
