Localisation

[lezsakdomi]

Support for multiple languages. Just the ability first!

[nonnymoose]

@lezsakdomi This proves challenging because of varying keymaps, so I would need speakers of other languages to translate them. They would also need to update the %realchars and @realbuttons.

[lezsakdomi]

@nonnymoose I could care about the Hungarian...

[nonnymoose]

@lezsakdomi I'll post translation instructions in the wiki.

[lezsakdomi]

@{assignee}: Take care of it: if ($key =~ /$mregex/i) { # skip this iteration if the key is a modifier should be done before making it human-readable

[lezsakdomi]

I recommend using Locale::TextDomain.

[lezsakdomi]

I think templates should not split upon translations. What is, when for example the user want to modify the style sheet?

Although I recommend templating all kind of recorded information, for example keystrokes pressed, screenshots, and so on. Doing so would simplify our (developers') life too.

[lezsakdomi]

@nonnymoose Should the default output filename (Untitled Recording) be translated?

[nonnymoose]

@lezsakdomi Sorry, I haven't been able to work on localization for a while. Currently what I plan to do is:

• Translate ALL program outputs (help text, messages, and output file)
• Make locale-specific files containing the above strings

Instead of making a template for each language like I originally planned to do, I will make one template with placeholders for language-specific strings. (which will be stored in locale-specific files)

After seeing 5aaa2d01bfc51a7efef81b68f4aa4a0b3135ef75 I just plan to translate keymaps.

[lezsakdomi]

@nonnymoose No worries.

But I think mouch more is left:

• Translating the footer of the HTML output
• Translating (no application title were recorded) and so on...

[lezsakdomi]

If not a problem, I could do them (i think).

@lezsakdomi That is fine, but I noticed that it wasn't automatically translating:

$ ./xsr --help
Usage: ./xsr [options] [outfile]

Options:

  --no-mouse                   Do not add mouse to screenshots
  -c|--image-extension=ext     Extension of image output (png or jpg)
  --no-countdown               Don't display countdown
  -u|--capture-focused         Captured the focused window only

  --countdown[=seconds]        Display countdown (default 5)
  -d|--image-deps              Do not convert images to base64; instead, output the dependent file and it's resources directory
  -o|--out outfile             Output file name (also can be first argument)

$

Theoretically it's translated to English. I have done a PHP project with gettext before, Locale::TextDomain uses this algorithm as base. Currently I am experimenting with creating a translation locally.
