no german translation for the first dialog: "No root configuration file found! ..." only empty dialog appears
Should be fixed in 0.98a9-16.
No, don't convert the translation file without a solution. this way may be solved for UTF-8 locale. but then this problem appears on native locale. don't forget that xcdroast uses GTK+1.2, and important thing is it doesn't use gettext. it means the translation isn't converted to a locale encoding automatically.
So I should use iconv(3) to convert from 'UTF-8' to whatever 'locale charmap' says? Or something else?
bind_textdomain_codeset ??
harald: Could you explain some more? Doesn't that function only affect the gettext family?
"important thing is it doesn't use gettext" .. oops didn't read that carefully.. sorry
you have to convert from 'po-file' (or whatever) encoding to the actual font encoding...
Created attachment 70284 [details] workaround patch
Well, as I said on IRC, you convert the translation file from the *appropriate* encoding to UTF-8, then applies the above patch. this patch will converts the current codeset from UTF-8. I rewrite the Japanese entries in the translation file manually and as far as I've tested this patch, it works for me.
Great, thanks! Now to start figuring out some encodings..
I think that xcdroast-0.98a9-17 fixes this properly now.
Installed on 0812 this version shows german correctly for me ja_JP displays correctly ko_KR displays correctly but translations incomplete zh_TW displays correctly but translations incomplete zh_CN displays correctly but translations incomplete
I'm leaving this open awaiting complete translations.
I don't think it's ever had complete translations before. It doesn't use gettext, but some home-made translation system. It doesn't have _anything_ translated into, for example, Norwegian (AFAICT). I think that the original complaint is fixed. Feel free to open a separate bug report requesting completed translations (and we'll have to figure out some process for it).
Fix confirmed with xcdroast-0.98a9-18.
