Detailed Description

Class for translating strings.

Class for providing translations. In practice this wraps gnu gettext but may have also other sources of translations. Note that Qt allows multiple translators to be in cascade.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CATranslator()

CATranslator::CATranslator ( QObject * aParent = NULL )

Constructor.

Has side-effect of initializing gnu gettext library inside. This same class may contain gnu gettext .po-file that is loaded here at constructor. It is still possible to use the QTranslator::load method to load Qt-format translation and when CATranslator::translate is called, this class will first search for .po file contents and if no match is made, then it will return the translation from possibly loaded Qt translation file.

◆ ~CATranslator()

CATranslator::~CATranslator ( )

Destructor

Member Function Documentation

◆ isEmpty()

virtual bool CATranslator::isEmpty ( ) const

◆ translate()

virtual QString CATranslator::translate	(	const char *	aContext,
		const char *	aSourceText,
		const char *	aDisambiguation = `0`
	)		const

virtual

Actual translator method. This is used to return actual strings

Parameters

aContext	string that tells in which context the aSourceText appears in.
aSourceText	the actual string to be translated.
aDisambiguation	if sourceText appears multiple times in same context, this may be used to further refine the translation.
aPluralForm	Maybe used to select for singular/plural form of the translation e.g. "message received" or "messages received"

Returns: Translation. If translation was not available, then returns aSourceText as it is.
