This is intended to apply translations to some common Qt UI components.
Example: a QMessageBox with standard buttons OK and Cancel; the text
for that is determined at startup using the system locale, and later
changes to the current locale or the current translation catalog,
do not affect OK and Cancel. It might be possible to load a catalog
with the right translation strings, except that there is no way to
know what the context or catalog **is** for the strings that are
used to label standard buttons: they can come from Qt base, or
the platform, or the theme. Merely loading the Qt Base translations
for the correct language does not help, because those translations
do not contain an "OK" string with the context used for standard
buttons.
Do the translation by hand; then we have all of the Calamares
languages covered, too, which is more than the Qt translations do.
- The Config object owns the requirements model, and has messages /
strings describing the state of the model. Use that message,
dropping the duplicate message from the requirements widget.
- Re-jig to pass the Config object around rather than the model
that it owns.
- This does not work, because translation events do not arrive
(and the slot isn't called automatically either).
Require a ; after RETRANSLATE macros. They are statement-like;
this makes it easier for some of them to be recognized by
clang-format and resolves some existing weird formatting.
- point to main Calamares site in the 'part of' headers instead
of to github (this is the "this file is part of Calamares"
opening line for most files).
- remove boilerplate from all source files, CMake modules and completions,
this is the 3-paragraph summary of the GPL-3.0-or-later, which has
a meaning entirely covered by the SPDX tag.
- things that can be done in the designer file should be there,
not weirdly repeated in code elsewhere
- drop the insertion of an extra spacer (why not include it in the
designer file?)
- shuffle all the connect() calls down to the end of the constructor
- This helps give meaningful names to code chunks
- Gives clang-format something to work with
- Reduces indentation depth
I think this is a bit of a code-style opinion issue: big complicated
lambdas doing UI things just don't seem like a good idea.
- the generic (enum-based) setupButton() can handle all four
of the buttons, so setupLinks() can go away. Only the
(re)translation of the text on the button needs to be
done, so move that to the main RETRANSLATE.
- Handle buttons and their URL-opening in a more
general way with an enum; drop existing three-boot
method and special setupDonateButton()
- Doesn't compile because consumers haven't changed.
- FIXES#934
- Whether this is really wanted depends on the distro, and I'm not
100% convinced the likely tags from Unicode are correct (or it'd
take a lot more data). In any case, starting Calamares in "NL"
gets me "nl_NL" as translation; presumably starting it in "BE"
will get me that as well (what about Les Wallons?)
- This also shows off that it's a real hack to have so much program
logic in the *widget* parts of each ViewStep. Longer-term,
a lot of functionality should go to the ViewStep itself, which
will then control the UI.
- Which translations are available is a global property
of Calamares itself, not of the plugins, so getting
the model of available translations should live there.
Move the relevant code (which is simple) from the
Welcome module.
- Use namespace CalamaresUtils::Locale consistently for this service.
- Move locale-related non-GUI support code from the Welcome module
to libcalamares; these are generally useful. Both Label (naming a locale)
and LabelModel (managing a bunch of those Labels) have been moved.
This basically means we talk about localization in the respective
localized variant. e.g. "German (Germany)" ➡ "Deutsch (Deutschland)".
If geoip lookup failed or isn't configured for whatever reason it's a
stretch to expect the user to know english enough to find their own
language. Preferring the localized strings resolves this issue.
Additionally this happens to bypass #712 respectively
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-34287
as the native names are properly spelled. So, as long as Qt has localized
names the names will also be properly spelled.
- document accessors
- put all path and directory accessors together
- make simple accessors inline
- rename "pathprefix" to "directory" to be consistent with others
- Some locales have no nativeLanguageName(), so instead display
the locale id (e.g. "eo") and the resulting language in English
(which, if it is really unsupported, will be "C").
- The QLocale constructor which takes a string (locale name) doesn't
understand sr@latin, and returns the Cyrillic locale. Fix that
by creating locales ourselves for @latin locales.
- sr and sr@latin now display correctly in the right script in the
native language dropdown.
