Frameworks/Epics/KF5.0 Release Preparation/l10n

Common tasks

Status	Task	Coordination
DONE	Decide where to place Messages.sh. Answer: src/ by default
TO DO	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.		<{{{3}}}>

Framework list:

Status	Task
DONE	Add src/Messages.sh scripts
IN PROGRESS	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.
TO DO	Make sure translations are loaded, meaning TRANSLATION_DOMAIN is set	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Integrate translation compilation code	<{{{3}}}>

Messages.sh files to review:

Framework list:

Status	Task
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
TO DO	Make generation of the qm loader independent from availability of po/ directory, so that one can test translations without rebuilding	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	kwidgetsaddons: Check data for KCharSelectData is marked as translatable. See FIXME in the code	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	l10n-kde4: 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 has a "X-Qt-Contexts: true" entry in the .po metadata.	<{{{3}}}>
