Bug#963071: daily errors in webwml/check_trans.pl (called by cron/scripts/check_trans.sh)

Package: www.debian.org
User www.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertag: scripts
Severity: normal

We are receiving daily errors about the check_trans.pl tool on top of
the webwml folder, it seems Perl is not able to get the translator.db.pl
files for each language. We have 2 types of error:

1.- L1024: require $db_file; fails, but the file is there. For example
arabic:

Can't locate arabic/international/arabic/translator.db.pl in @INC (@INC
contains: /srv/www.debian.org/webwml/Perl /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24
/usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at
./check_trans.pl line 1024.

We didn't change the check_trans.pl recently, I guess maybe something
changed in the Perl environment that we need to provide the full path to
the file (and not only relative path) or load the file in other way, no
idea. Any Perl expert around?

2.- L1024: require $db_file; fails because the file is in other folder,
for example Chinese:

File `chinese/international/chinese/translator.db.pl' doesn't exist!
I need my DBs to send mails.
Please read the comments in the script and try again


(The translator.db.pl is in the
chinese/international/Chinese/translator.db.pl path). This issue
(translator.db.pl in a diferent path) happens for 3 languages only:

./catalan/international/Catalan/translator.db.pl
./chinese/international/Chinese/translator.db.pl
./german/international/German/translator.db.pl

I guess we need to:
A.- move the translator.db.pl file to the corresponding folder with
lower case letters
or
B.- add logic to the check_trans.pl to try the folder with capital
letter if the usual path fails

I tend to the A proposal because it's the one that I can do, but if
there is anybody who can provide B, that's more elegant I guess :-)
