Frameworks/Epics/KF5.0 Release Preparation/l10n

Common tasks

Status	Task	Coordination
DONE	Decide where to place Messages.sh. Answer: src/ by default
DONE	Check the release scripts to ensure they include the .po or .ts files as well as the matching CMake code to build and install them.

• kactivities
• kcmutils

Status

Status	Task	Coordination
DONE	Add src/Messages.sh scripts
DONE	Review existing Messages.sh scripts. Check for wrong names such as catalogs with '4' suffix, or catalogs whose name would clash with an existing KDE4 library.
DONE	Make sure translations are loaded, meaning TRANSLATION_DOMAIN is set. This could be done as a -D switch by the build system.
DONE	- kdeclarative: -DTRANSLATION_DOMAIN conflicts with RootContext::i18n.
DONE	- kross: -DTRANSLATION_DOMAIN conflicts with TranslationModule::i18n.
DONE	- ktexteditor: -DTRANSLATION_DOMAIN conflicts with i18n() in katescripthelpers.cpp.
IN PROGRESS	Integrate translation compilation code. https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/117804/ https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/117805/
DONE	kdeclarative: Find a way to get qml code translated (only two strings so far).
DONE	Fix calls to kde4_install_ts_files in trunk/l10n-kf5/scripts/autogen.sh

Qt-based frameworks

Framework list:

• kauth
• kbookmarks
• kcodecs
• kcompletion
• kcoreaddons
• kdbusaddons
• kdesignerplugin
• kdnssd
• kglobalaccel
• kitemviews
• kjobwidgets
• knotifications
• kwidgetsaddons
• kwindowsystem
• solid
• sonnet

Status

Status	Task	Coordination
DONE	Define the way to extract translations for Qt-based frameworks.
DONE	Investigate whether it is possible to have Qt-based frameworks automatically load their transitions. Answer: yes, via a Qt macro.
DONE	Add src/Messages.sh script
DONE	Check QObject::tr is correctly used
DONE	Define the way to integrate compilation of translations in build system. Done: new function added to ECM: ecm_create_qm_from_po_files()
DONE	Integrate translation compilation code
DONE	Update framework template
DONE	Extract strings from .ui files
DONE	solid: fix string extraction: it uses $XGETTEXT and $XGETTEXT_QT
DONE	kwidgetsaddons: Check data for KCharSelectData is marked as translatable. See FIXME in the code
DONE	kcoreaddons: check src/mimetypes/XmlMessages.sh. Check it still works and add a "5" suffix to the .po file
DONE	Adjust ECM qm handling code to work with trunk/l10n-kf5 workflow. https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/117560/
DONE	Add a "_qt" suffix to the catalog names
DONE	l10n-kf5: Modify scripts/autogen.sh to create different CMake code depending on whether the .po file must be compiled into a .qm or into a .mo. A .po which must be compiled into a .qm if its catalog name ends with "_qt"
DONE	Figure out the best way to handle plural forms: right now Qt requires the creation of a plural-only .qm file for english.
TO DO	Find a way to load .qm manually for languages which are not supported by Qt (ex nds)		<{{{3}}}>
