Hi Harm,
I wanted to let you know that I can have gettext working in the mac app. Turns
out, all we needed was to compile xboard with NLS and we were good. Xboard of
course checks the LOCALEDIR which is originally set to /usr/local/share/locale
in the makefile. I was hoping we could hardcode it for the Xboard.app to be
DataDir/Contents/Resources/share/locale in a way similar to what we did with
SVGDIR.
There was an extra hurdle regarding the gtkmacintegration library with the
Application (Xboard) menu, which requires to be localized separately by OSX.
Namely a bunch of language.lproj folders with Gtkosxapplication.strings files
in the app’s resource folder with each string for the menu items. On the
gtk-osx-users-list email list we managed to squash a library bug stoping this
from working for us properly. I also updated those .string files that came
with the library accordingly, so we now have a matching language folder for
every language we have with gettext. Except for zh_HK, which I have no idea
what that is.
There is one more problem though. “About Xboard” was moved from the help menu
to the Xboard menu. John Ralls said that moved menu items need to be handled by
gettext, but for some reason this is never translated by gettext. Anything we
can do to restore this?
Thanks!
