Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TDELocale() [1/2]

TDELocale::TDELocale	(	const TQString &	catalog,
		TDEConfig *	config = `0`
	)

Constructs a TDELocale with the given catalog name.

The constructor looks for an entry Locale/Language in the configuration file. If no config file is specified, it will also look for languages using the environment variables (TDE_LANG, LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL, LANG), as well as the global configuration file. If TDELocale is not able to use any of the specified languages, the default language (en_US) will be used.

If you specify a configuration file, it has to be valid until the TDELocale object is destroyed.

Parameters

catalog	The name of the main language file
config	The configuration file to use.

◆ translate() [1/3]

TQString TDELocale::translate	(	const char *	comment,
		const char *	fallback
	)		const

Translates the string into the corresponding string in the national language, if available.

The real contents of the string is in the argument fallback, but the meaning of it is coded into the argument index. In some cases you'll need this function, when english is too ambiguous to express it.

Most of the times the translators will tell you if it can't be translated as it, but think of cases as "New", where the translations differs depending on what is New. Or simple cases as "Open", that can be used to express something is open or it can be used to express that you want something to open... There are tons of such examples.

If translate("Open") is not enough to translate it well, use translate("To Open", "Open") or translate("Is Open", "Open"). The english user will see "Open" in both cases, but the translated version may vary. Of course you can also use i18n()

Parameters

comment	the comment. The lookup text is made out of comment + `fallback`
fallback	the default text, if not found

Returns: translation

Definition at line 773 of file tdelocale.cpp.

◆ translate() [2/3]

TQString TDELocale::translate ( const char * index ) const

Translates the string into the corresponding string in the national language, if available.

If not, returns the string itself. There is a KDE wide message file that contains the most often used phrases, so we can avoid duplicating the translation of these phrases. If a phrase is not found in the catalog given to the constructor, it will search in the system catalog. This makes it possible to override some phrases for your needs.

The argument must be an UTF-8 encoded string (If you only use characters that are in US-ASCII you're on the safe side. But for e.g. german umlauts or french accents should be recoded to UTF-8)

Parameters

index The lookup text and default text, if not found.

Definition at line 768 of file tdelocale.cpp.

◆ translate() [3/3]

TQString TDELocale::translate	(	const char *	singular,

Parameters

singular	the singular form of the word, for example "file".
plural	the plural form of the word. Must contain a "%n" that will be replaced by the number `n`, for example "%n files"
n	the number

Returns: the correct singular or plural for the selected language, depending on n

◆ translateQt()

TQString TDELocale::translateQt	(	const char *	context,
