Detailed Description

class for supporting locale settings and national language

KLocale provides support for country specific stuff like the national language.

KLocale supports translating, as well as specifying the format for numbers, currency, time, and date.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KLocale::KLocale const QString &    catalogue,
KConfig   config = 0
 

Constructs a KLocale with the given catalogue name. The constructor looks for an entry Locale/Language in the configuration file. If no config file is specified, it will also look for languages using the environment variables (KDE_LANG, LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL, LANG), as well as the global configuration fie. If we were not able to use non of the specified languages, the default language (en_US) will be used.

If you specify a configuration file, it has to be valid until the KLocale object is destroyed.

Parameters:
catalogue  The name of the main language file
config  The configuration file to use.

KLocale::KLocale const KLocale &    rhs
 

Copy constructor.

KLocale::~KLocale  
 

Destructor.

QString KLocale::translate const char *    singular,
const char *    plural,
unsigned long    n
const
 

Used to get the correct, translated singular or plural of a word.

Parameters:
singular  the singular form of the word, for example "file".
plural  the plural form of the word. Must contain a "n" that will be replaced by the number @n, for example "n files"
n  the number
Returns:
the correct singular or plural for the selected language, depending on n

QString KLocale::translate const char *    index,
const char *    fallback
const
 

Translates the string into the corresponding string in the national language, if available.

The real contents of the string is in the argument fallback, but the meaning of it is coded into the argument index. In some cases you'll need this function, when english is too ambiguous to express it.

Most of the times the translators will tell you if it can't be translated as it, but think of cases as "New", where the translations differs depending on what is New. Or simple cases as "Open", that can be used to express something is open or it can be used to express that you want something to open... There are tons of such examples.

If translate("Open") is not enough to translate it well, use translate("To Open", "Open") or translate("Is Open", "Open"). The english user will see "Open" in both cases, but the translated version may vary. Of course you can also use i18n()

Parameters:
index  The lookup text
fallback  the default text, if not found
Returns:
translation

QString KLocale::translate const char *    index const
 

Translates the string into the corresponding string in the national language, if available. If not, returns the string itself. There is a KDE wide message file that contains the most often used phrases, so we can avoid duplicating the translation of these phrases. If a phrase is not found in the catalogue given to the constructor, it will search in the system catalog. This makes it possible to override some phrases for your needs.

The argument must be an UTF-8 encoded string (If you only use characters that are in US-ASCII you're on the safe side. But for e.g. german umlauts or french accents should be recoded to UTF-8)

Parameters:
index  The lookup text and default text, if not found.

QString KLocale::translateQt const char *    context,
const char *    sourceText,
const char *    message
const
 

Translates a message as a QTranslator is supposed to. The parameters are similar to i18n(), but the result value has other semantics (it can be QString::null)

Since:
3.1

QString KLocale::twoAlphaToCountryName const QString &    code const
