What breaks exactly?
(Actually I turned to use the flag also in app code to avoid 3rd-party plugins
being able to ruin translations in the app code by wrongly calling
KLocalizedString::setApplicationDomain, seen that too often (fixed it of
course when seen :) )).
The only price I know of is extra QByteArray creation per each i18n* call...
In any case, everybody reading this, when switching to use
KLocalizedString::setApplicationDomain() as intended by the ki18n developers,
make sure that all app code is not seeing any TRANSLATION_DOMAIN definition,
as otherwise any i18n*() call will use the flag-based variant and thus
internally ignore to whatever applicationDomain was set.
So e.g. if having lib and app code in one build system, only set
TRANSLATION_DOMAIN for the lib code.
Cheers
Friedrich
