Splash screen is probably not translated

[Wuzzy2]

I am not sure about this issue, but it seems the splash screen is not translated. The splash screen contains the message “Welcome to the Butterfly Effect!”. This message is always in English, no matter what I put in my .ts file.

Can you please investigate?

Oops. However, cannot be fixed for Milestone B anymore - "string freeze", remember?

[Wuzzy2]

The string seems to be already collected. I can see this string in the .ts file.

Fix: Splash screen is probably not translated #221
The splash screen was shown before the translation is initialized.

For me the splash screen is shown not long enough, it only flickers, you can't see what it is. Shouldn't it be shown at least e.g. a second?

If you want to keep the splash screen longer, the trick it to delay the close event. The splash is currently closed when the main window is initialised. You could change that to when the scene has been drawn (i.e. ViewWorld has been fully initialised). This will require some magic, though.

I agree, nice to have, not part of this issue, this issue can be closed.

Obviously, moving the splash screen until after the Qt infrastructure is initialised, doesn't help.

So, I think we'd better adjust it: first show the splash screen, then update the text after i18n is active.

closing.
