    > The <text/> element [ in an <error> ] is OPTIONAL. [...] It SHOULD NOT be used as the error message presented to a human user This doesn't match current practice, and what else would you show users?

  569. jonas’

    huh.

  570. jonas’

    ah well, normally you’d know via the protocol what an error condition means and you should show that primarily

  571. jonas’

    e.g. "MUC creation failed due to lack of permissions" for a <forbidden/>

  572. jonas’

    and then you’d attach to that the <text/> from the peer I guess... in a "details" field

  573. jonas’

    (without that use, the i18n of the <text/> does make zero sense at all)

  584. lovetox

    of course you *could* do that

  585. lovetox

    but why should you? if the server already has a more detailed error message

  586. Zash

    I believe I've mentioned a wish for a reusable set of text strings for the various stanza errors

  587. Zash

    with translations

  588. lovetox

    and of course there is not exactly one error condition per server error

  589. waqas has left

  590. MattJ

    Personally I feel when I'm writing server code that I have a pretty good idea what text should be shown to the user when emitting an error (and it varies even within the same condition)

  591. kokonoe has left

  592. jonas’

    I think the error text sent by the server should detail the "why", while the error text generated from the condition and the action should be the "what plus basic why"

  593. MattJ

    We could make custom "application specific" conditions for each instance of error, but the client would need to understand those and get some text from somewhere

  594. jonas’

    in the example above, the server could say something like "Only users from domain X are allowed to create rooms"

  595. MattJ

    Previously clients have literally copy/pasted the error description text from each condition in the RFC and displayed that

  596. calvin has left

  597. Zash

    s/-/ / + title case gets you ... something

  598. lovetox

    yeah seems all really a workaround for not giving server developers the responsibility to formulate a basic englisch sentence

  599. jonas’

    lovetox, plus all other languages.

  600. lovetox

    yeah and every client has thousands of strings to translate :)

  601. pdurbin has joined

  602. Zash

    Hence why I think it would be nice to have some basic common strings and their translations

  603. jonas’

    Zash, agreed

    To add to the previous discussion on our voting system, I knew something was off with the membership one as well. I can't vote blank :)

    lovetox, a huge .po file

  610. Zash

    Pretty much

  611. Zash

    Some file(s) in some format with forbidden = Forbidden | Förbjudet | VERBOTEN | no u

  612. Zash

    Probably with some variants for eg conflict in MUC meaning something slightly different from conflict in IBR or in resource binding

    pep., I agree that the voting could use some fixing. I’d go with some Schulze-like method (as suggested by flow) for council/board and add a way to abstain for member votes maybe. pep. would you shepherd this to get it into the Q1 membership meeting?

    Zash, i have a hard time picturing this

  622. lovetox

    you want a mapping of error conditions to texts?

  623. lovetox

    with context

  624. Zash

    Pretty much

  625. lovetox

    and how are you then going to use that po file

  626. lovetox

    picking out the lines you need?

  627. lovetox

    or importing the full po file, even though there are many strings in it you never use

    jonas’, not in a state to answer (I'm a walking zombie, tired), but that's a secondary items I wanted to tackle yeah

  633. Zash

    That'd be up to you.

  636. jonas’

    (though importing the whole file is probably easier to maintain)

  637. Zash

    And how do you know you'll never use some strings? These are things remote entities can send.

  638. Zash

    I'm no expert on .po file management and I don't wanna focus on specific formats.
