I man i have the Italian translation, but i don't know how to send to you.
Also i have a problem with Launchpad, i don't understand how does it work. :)
Okay no problem:
1. Go to https://bitbucket.org/vkolev/gsharkdown/issues/new
2. Enter as title: Italian translation
3. Set type to Proposal
4. Type some comment
5. Attach the .po file
and that's it ;)
Just for test i have downloaded the latest source. But the GUI still show English localization.
All the others GTK apps show correctly the Italian localization.
With this new version Gshardown fail to run.
I have a script wrapper under /usr/bin. This script run the main program under /usr/share/gsharkdown.
( #!/bin/bash
cd /usr/share/gsharkdown && ./gsharkdown.py )
The problem is that when i try to run Gshardown exit with this error
gsharkdown
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
Traceback (most recent call last):

local = open('%s/VERSION' % BASEPATH, 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] File o directory non esistente: '/usr/share/gsharkdown/VERSION'
But it run correctly if i try to run it, inside the /usr/share/gshardown directory.
I will check this. The option to run the check for updates on application start was done very fast for the release, so I didn't checked everything as I should. Thanks for the report, but next time please use the Issue tracker @ bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/vkolev/gsharkdown/issues
Yep the problem with that the application didn't start was the grooveshark changes to their service. Now the issue is resolved and you can use it again. Pease update!
hey guy,
I have tested this on several systems and different versions of clean installed ubuntu.
I get the same readout.. I am guessing also that it is being blocked,, Hope this can be fixed :)
I enjoy the application

Download is now relocated to the download page, since the problem is that many users still download the old version, that doesn't have to option to check if new version is released

Sorry but there is no attach button on the linked page on BitBucket.
I forgot that you should be registered. Then send it to this mail: vladi at vladimirkolev dot com
Good let me know if it's ok.
Your translation is added, will be published in the next release.
Just for test i have downloaded the latest source. But the GUI still show English localization. All the others GTK apps show correctly the Italian localization.
Test with the following: hg clone https://bitbucket.org/vkolev/gsharkdown cd gsharkdown LANGUAGE=it_IT python gsharkdown.py It's working for me
Sorry the Italian translation work now. I have missed the locale directory inside my Slackware package on www.slacky.eu.

I would say that grooveshark is blocking the application, I should check what was changed and try to fix it.
