Re: qxtransformer and i18n

[Christian Boulanger]

Hi Cajus,

in a previous version, we had automatic translation of label -- qxt
automatically wrapped label-like properties in this.tr(...).
Unfortunately, as far as I recall, the rewritten engine has not
re-implemented this behavior, although that is on the agenda. Siarhei,
can you confirm?

Cheers,

Christian

Yes, we haven't such a feature in 0.4 version. Christian, is this
still this.tr(...) structure in 0.8?
I don't think that it's hard to implement.

Yes, it should be still the same. Question to the community - what do
you think would be the best solution:

- for example, we could have a global attribute on the application or
widget level qxt:translate="true" which would force qxt to wrap all
attribute names that are in a list of translateables (label, caption,
title ...) in this.tr();
- additionally, on the widget level, we could add an attribute
qxt:translateAttributes="attribute1,attribute2,.." which will then
wrap only the given attributes, for non-standard cases.

Any other ideas?

Also it's possible to add
qxt:translateAttributes="attribute1,attribute2,.." on the application
level. Because mainly these attributes are the same for different
widgets.

in jsqt, i have widget attributes that emit "String"s or
"TranslatableString"s. the decision is hard-coded. it's not really a
problem, because if you don't provide any translation, the string inside
this.tr() is returned intact anyway.

oh, to get the this.tr function, you need the translation mixin included.
see qooxdoo's i18n page.

best,
