Constructor & Destructor Documentation

StelTranslator::StelTranslator	(	const QString &	adomain,
		const QString &	alangName
	)

If the passed locale name cannot be handled by the system, default value will be used. The passed language name is a language code string like "fr" or "fr_FR". This class wrap gettext to simulate an object oriented multiplateform gettext UTF8 translator

Parameters

adomain	The name of the domain to use for translation
amoDirectory	The directory where to look for the domain.mo translation files.
alangName	The C locale name or language name like "fr" or "fr_FR". If string is "" or "system" it will use the system locale.

Member Function Documentation

const QString& StelTranslator::getTrueLocaleName ( ) const

inline

Actual locale, never "system".

Returns

Locale name e.g "fr_FR"

static void StelTranslator::init ( const QString &  fileName )

static

Parameters

fileName

file containing the list of language codes

static QString StelTranslator::iso639_1CodeToNativeName ( const QString &  languageCode )

static

Parameters

languageCode

the code to look up

QString StelTranslator::qtranslate	(	const QString &	s,
		const QString &	c = QString(),
		int	n = -1
	)		const

If the string is not translated in the current locale, the input string is returned unchanged.

Parameters

s	input string in english.
c	disambiguation string (gettext "context" string).

Returns

The translated QString

QString StelTranslator::tryQtranslate	(	const QString &	s,
		const QString &	c = QString()
	)		const

If no translation exist for the current StelTranslator language, a null string is returned.

Parameters

s	input string in english.
