Frameworks/Epics/KF5.0 Release Preparation/l10n

From KDE Community Wiki

TODO

For each framework the following needs to be done:

Mark strings translatable

Make sure all strings that need to be translated are either wrapped by i18n*() or tr*() depending on the translation framework of choice.

Extract translatable strings

Create a Messages.sh file at the root of the repository. See http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Localization/i18n_Build_Systems#handling_i18n_in_KDE.27s_subversion_repository for details on how to create and test it.

Things to test:

  • Make sure the Messages.sh file extracts all the files
  • Make sure the Messages.sh file creates a catalog named $framework.pot

Make sure the translations are loaded

If using ki18n, make sure it follows http://api.kde.org/frameworks-api/frameworks5-apidocs/ki18n/html/prg_guide.html#link_lib . In short: Check all files with calls to i18n*() define TRANSLATION_DOMAIN before including KLocalizedString.

If using tr() ... no clue, someone should care about this. Probably have a look at how Trojita does it for Qt4 and try to generalize for KF5
