The file tree view in FileBrowserWindow is not fully localized

[gexgd0419]

Describe the bug FileBrowserWindow is the window that shows the specified sandbox's content after you right click a sandbox then select Browse Content.

It contains a tree view that shows all files and subdirectories in the sandbox's directory. However, the column names and each item's "type" is always shown in English, as shown in the screenshot below.

My system language and the language set in Sandboxie are all Chinese Simplified.

• The title ("DefaultBox - Files") is translated.
• The column titles ("Name", "Size", "Type" and "Date Modified") are still in English.
• The size of desktop.ini (218 bytes) is translated, but it follows the system language setting instead of Sandboxie's setting.
• The item types are not translated. They are just "File Folder" or "<extension> File" in English.

From the code I can know that the tree view's content is provided by QFileSystemModel, but it's part of Qt library, so its strings won't appear in sandman's .ts files.

Sandboxie-Plus v0.9.8b

Also I found that the Select Color dialog that shows up when you want to change the window border color is also always in English, except the OK and Cancel button.

It's QColorDialog, so the question is how to localize Qt's own components, I guess.

In changelog you said that this was fixed in v0.9.8b.

I've installed that version, but these dialogs still seems to be only partially localized in Simplified Chinese.

see the \translations folder i added all the original qt translations, i see that thay only provide zh_TW and not _zh_CN so that might be the issue here

[gexgd0419]

It seems that the locale names for Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese used inside Sandboxie have been changed from zh-CN and zh-TW to zh_CN to zh_TW respectively. (which caused #1317 btw)

And I found the reason why Qt's translations wouldn't apply. My "UiLanguage" is zh-CN, but all translation files now have names like zh_CN.qm, so it wouldn't load.

To localize the two dialog boxes mentioned in this issue, the only group of translation files required is the qt_<lang>.qm one. There are groups that don't have a zh-CN version, but qt_zh_CN.qm exists, so it can work.

However, after loading the Qt translation file correctly, those two dialogs are more, but still partially, localized.

The translations are contributed by the Qt community, so there are missing translations and even incorrect ones. For example,

• There's no translation for "File Folder", "<extension> File", and "Pick Screen Color".
• The translation for "Date Modified" literally says "the date is modified".

It's Qt's issue, not Sandboxie's issue, though.

P.S. Just found that Qt 6 has more complete translations. There's no plan to upgrade Sandboxie to Qt 6, but maybe we can just use Qt 6's translation files.
