The only way it might change the path is: use ki18n AND build with cmake AND use the ki18n_install macro AND define a KDE_INSTALL_LOCALEDIR variable yourself. Too many factors to make it even something to even bother thinking about TBH. > > > Mileages difer :) > > One does not need to define KDE_INSTALL_LOCALEDIR oneself. One only needs to use find_package(KF5Plasma) or find_package(KF5Package), because some subrepo also does a plasma applet for Plasma integration or have someone cluelessly copied cmake code together because ENOTIMEFORBUILDSYSTEM and copying from the best=KDE and now-it-builds-so-do-not-touch-again. In this case it will be generated automatically, and it will be the same as LOCALE_INSTALL_DIR. > I have seen quite some cmake code, otherwise I would not be so passive here in the change (and yes, there is a world outside kde repos) :) And when you recommneded ki18n outside of kde spheres over the sad Qt i18n stuff, you do not want to see things falling apart, You yourself might not bother, but I do, because I have been hit myself too often in my life by people carelessly changing default things in minor releases, because worksformecanotimaginesomethingstrangewhybother. Let me clarify: I **do** care about software outside kde.org, you are definitely not the only one that does that. What I wrote above about "not bothering" refers to //that// specific situation I listed, not to everything else. I'm also one of the people that says "beware of compatibility"... when it makes sense. In this case, I do not see anything to keep compatibility with, and the only situation is already a broken case on its own. Again: beside what I said earlier, do you see any **actual** potential other scenarios, nor situation where what I proposed would not be safe? > Why stop people caring for doing things more safely? :) I am not, please do not put thoughts in my mind that were not mine, thanks :) REPOSITORY R249 KI18n REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D29299 To: kossebau, ilic, heikobecker, #frameworks, aacid, ltoscano Cc: pino, kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, cblack, michaelh, ngraham, bruns
