<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I tried to run a standalone non-GUI program using ki18n:
#include <QDebug>
#include <KLocalizedString>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
KLocalizedString::setApplicationDomain("test-ki18n-01");
qDebug() << i18n("Delete %1?", i18n("file"));
return 0;
}
and got abort with this message:
QScriptEngine: Must construct a Q(Core)Application before a QScriptEngine
It does work when I add only
#include <QCoreApplication>
...
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
What is the reason that this is necessary? If one does want to use ki18n in
non-Qt-UI program, would it be inappropriate (in whatever way) to
nevertheless require creation of QCoreApplication?

I was under the impression that translations always require the presence of a QCoreApplication (or derived) instance. Qt's own tr() does.</pre>

In short, if you are making a Qt application (GUI or not), you need to create an instance of QCoreApplication (or one of its subclasses).</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">To my knowledge there was no technical need for presence of QCoreApplication
in ki18n so far, e.g. the above example works with KJS.
Also, what happens if one wants to place an i18n call before creating
Q*Application? We had such cases, and had to work around them in few ways.

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">At any rate, hardly a show stopper.</pre>

There is also a weird crash at test shutdown, in QThreadStorage. As far as I can tell I did not change anything related to threads though.</pre>
