Hi I'm working on localization for the fpGUI project. My idea is for the fpGUI toolkit to look for "fpgui.%s.po" files. Where %s is the language ID. e.g.: 'en' or 'af_ZA' or 'en_GB' etc.
Under Ubuntu Linux, if I call GetLanguageIDs() it returns the following two IDs. SystemLanguageID1 = en_ZA.UTF-8 SystemLanguageID2 = en The problem here is the '.UTF-8' part. Normally the translation (.po) files look like the following. 'fpgui.en.po' or 'fpgui.af_ZA.po' etc. It never contains the '.UTF-8' part in the po files. So in the case of the Afrikaans translation (af_ZA), the .po file is never found. Am I supposed to handle that, by maybe looking for the '.UTF-8' part and stripping it, or can we extend GetLanguageIDs() to return 3 IDs instead? SystemLanguageID1 = en_ZA.UTF-8 SystemLanguageID2 = en_ZA (stripping anything from the . onwards) SystemLanguageID3 = en (stripping anything from the _ onwards) Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
