French translation not shown for Bluefin

[carpediem29]

Hi,
I'm using the most recent version (24.2) on Bluefin (43.20260224.1) with French language but menus/text displayed is in English.
Seems the issue is similar to : Brazilian Portuguese not shown in BazziteOS
I can see French translation located in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/logomenu@aryan_k/po/fr.po .
I saw #106 . I have version 24.2 (released on October 23) installed which is the latest one Weird ! I don't see what could be the issue. I don't see any forked version of Logomenu.
I don't see any issue in metadata.json : uuid & gettext-domain variables seem OK.

Hi! Did you manually install Logo Menu or is it the pre-installed one? Considering the issue has occurred twice, I'll test it out on Bluefin.

I have tested it, Logo Menu changes translation as expected, but the fork bluefin uses doesn't.
It might just be an issue with POT files not being re-generated. I'll check with the maintainer.

@KyleGospo, can you please check if this is indeed caused because the POT files don't match anymore with the changes done on the fork?

You might need to re-generate them for the fork, maybe as part of the build process.

Thanks a lot for your answers, checks & tests. Yes, I used the system installed /pre-installed version.

There are some small differences regarding the fr.po file between your Github version & installed version

Just found out Ublue fork is located on https://github.com/ublue-os/Logomenu
main.pot seems identical.
Don't know what causes the issue for this forked version. There/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/logomenu@aryan_k/po/main.pot are other Gnome ex@KyleGospotensions system installed but translation is fine
Let's hope @KyleGospo will sort it out.
