I am just learning to use ProcessMaker and I could be doing something wrong, but I wanted to report this just in case something needs adjusting--

I tried to make an addition in the English po file (processmaker.en.po). After I made the change, when I went to the Admin screen to import the file, I got a really long error ending with "The .po file have a bad format!" At first I thought it was from something I added. But then I uninstalled and deleted all of Processmaker, did a clean install, and tried to import the English po file as it came straight from the installation (with no changes) and got the same error.

Here's the gist of the error:
-----------------
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in C:\Program Files\ProcessMaker\apps\processmaker\htdocs\workflow\engine\classes\class.languages.php on line 87

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in C:\Program Files\ProcessMaker\apps\processmaker\htdocs\workflow\engine\classes\class.languages.php on line 87

... (many more lines like those above, too much to post in this message)
string(31) "The .po file have a bad format!"
------------------

I made some modification to class.languages.php file so it would print out each item in the language file as it was being imported, so I could see what item was causing the error during import. Looks like the error was being thrown on or around this item:

# TRANSLATION
# JAVASCRIPT/USERS_REASSIGN
#: JAVASCRIPT/USERS_REASSIGN
msgid "You can't to delete this user because has some pending tasks, reassign the pending tasks first. <br/><br/>
Do you want to reassign these tasks now?"
msgstr "You can't to delete this user because has some pending tasks, reassign the pending tasks first. <br/><br/>
Do you want to reassign these tasks now?"

Just to test it, I simplified this item in the English po file to this:

# TRANSLATION
# JAVASCRIPT/USERS_REASSIGN
#: JAVASCRIPT/USERS_REASSIGN
msgid "You can't delete user because of some pending tasks, reassign the pending tasks first. Reassign these tasks now?"
msgstr "You can't delete user because of some pending tasks, reassign the pending tasks first. Reassign these tasks now?"

Then I ran the import again. It got farther this time, but eventually gave similar error. It looked like this time the error was occurring on or around this item:

# TRANSLATION
# JAVASCRIPT/ID_MSG_GROUPS_ADDCONFIRM
#: JAVASCRIPT/ID_MSG_GROUPS_ADDCONFIRM
msgid "At least one user must be selected.
"
msgstr "At least one user must be selected.
"

This is version 1.2-2740 running on Windows Vista.

You probably made some change to the PO file which is not allowed by the PO format.

For instance, this is not allowed:

Code: Select all

msgid "At least one user must be selected.
"
msgstr "At least one user must be selected.
"

It has to be:

Code: Select all

msgid "At least one user must be selected."
msgstr "At least one user must be selected."

or:

Code: Select all

msgid ""
"At least one user must be selected."
msgstr ""
"At least one user must be selected."

You should use PoEdit to edit translations files to avoid these problems. See: http://wiki.processmaker.com/index.php/ ... ocessMaker
If you want to edit PO files by hand, read the GNU gettext manual to learn the format.

Hi everyone,

I am getting the same error. I am using po-edit. The first half of the translation went okay, but after tonights work I am getting this error. Is there some way of debugging where in the .po file the error might be?

Hello everyone,

we solved this problem. For some reason the following line was in my edited .po file:

Code: Select all

# TRANSLATION
# msgid "<b>Mask Sufixes: </b>%Y=Year, %m=Month, %d=Day"
#: msgid "<b>Mask Sufixes: 
#</b>%Y=Year, %m=Month, %d=Day"
msgid "rms/fields/date.xml?PME_MAS"
msgstr "rms/fields/date.xml?PME_MAS"

In the orginial file the statement was:

Code: Select all

# TRANSLATION
# msgid "<b>Mask Sufixes: </b>%Y=Year, %m=Month, %d=Day"
#: msgid "<b>Mask Sufixes: </b>%Y=Year, %m=Month, %d=Day"
msgid "rms/fields/date.xml?PME_MAS"
msgstr "rms/fields/date.xml?PME_MAS"

When I changed the code back it worked like a charm. How did we found the line in which the code was corrupt? We added the following debugging statement before line 85 to the file /opt/processmaker/workflow/engine/classes/class.languages.php:

Code: Select all

 echo $sLine.'<br>';

Now when we try to upload the corrupt .po file the error window gives us all successful imported language statements, so the next one is the statement that is corrupt.

Please make sure that you delete the debugging command in the class.languages.php file after fixing the .po

Hi Martijn,
Was that change caused by PoEdit? If so, we need to file a bug report with PoEdit.

[martijnburger]

Hi Amos,

Yes! Po-edit corrupted the file. Strange thing, what is different about the rule that makes po-edit corrupt these lines...

BR,

Martijn

I filed a bug report with PoEdit on this issue. See: http://www.poedit.net/trac/ticket/323
I also filed a bug report with ProcessMaker, requesting that the offending automatic comment which is causing problems be removed from the source code. See:
http://bugs.processmaker.com/view.php?id=4206

Okay. Great! Let's see who's the first to solve it
