Having never had to do any internationalization of apps before (the whole
world does, in fact, speak English, doesn't it? :-) ), I just spent some
quality debugging time trying to figure out why most stuff in my application
was translating when I switched the locale, but not a few things. I
discovered the following:
label = new qx.ui.basic.Label(this.tr("Language") + ": ");
Here, I figured that the colon should always be there and should be
language-independent, so separated it from the string requiring translation.
Unfortunately, the Label code checks its value when a changeLocale event is
received and discovers that the value, "Language:" is not a translatable
string, so does not provide the replacement from the newly-selected
language.
I understand what's happening, and my very simple label here is easily
corrected by simply including the colon in the translatable string. It
seems, though, that there are many times when a string (in a label) is
composed of multiple textual parts that should or could be translated
separately. What are "best practices" for dealing with this sort of thing?
Thanks,
Derrell
