Template Name et al not localizable

[SteveAgl]

In theme editor the tempalte description for archives.php and links.php are correctly gettext but even if tanslated in po file they don't translate.

Translates file descriptions before showing in theme editor

Actually, SteveAgl, the theme file descriptions aren't translated at all. I attached a patch to add translation functionality.

You can only pass literal strings to ().

These strings should be translated when $wp_file_descriptions is defined. By the time file.php is loaded, the gettext system should be fully initialized. I'd like to understand why that is apparently not working.

If we can't figure that out, we can change your patch to use translate() instead of ().

Oh, we're talking about templates with "Template Name:" in them. The template would have to make a dummy call to () somewhere to get the string in the template. If that is done, then changing your patch to use translate() will work.

Actually, it might be better to have get_file_description() do this:

return translate($name[1]);

Actually, we'd have to call translate with the proper domain for the theme. We're getting into the same issue as with plugins. We've pushed that fix to 2.6, so I'll push this one as well.

Is this still an issue?

Related: #15858

Let's do this and #15858.

Steps to complete this ticket:

1. Run translate() over these.

2. Leverage a Text Domain header (where #15858 comes in).

3. Extract Template Name from individual template files and add them to the pot, which would require some improvements to  http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/tools/trunk/pot-ext-meta.php.

In [19968]:

Add template names to theme pots. see #6007.

 http://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/19321 and  http://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/19324

15858.diff:ticket:15858 more or less fixes this.

Since #15858 is a mess, 6007.diff targets just this ticket. A lot of the rewrite of get_theme_data() is from #15858.
