[Kde-games-devel] Killbots: kcfg(c) question

[Frederik Schwarzer]

Hi,

in Killbots there are two kcfg files (and their corresponding kcfgc 
files):
 - killbots.kcfg (settings.kcfgc)
 - rulesetbase.kcfg (rulesetbase.kcfgc)

Initial roblem: the strings from the latter are not shown as 
translated in the dialog.

So I started to read around a bit and found the following:
"Instructions for building the configuration code from a .kcfg file are 
contained in the .kcfgc file of the same base name"
http://api.kde.org/frameworks-api/frameworks5-apidocs/ki18n/html/prg_guide.html#link_noncode

So I was wondering why the killbots/settings basenames are working. 
Well, I do not know of any problem there but at least the strings from 
the kcfg file are showing up translated in the config dialog just fine.

And I also read (same link as above):
"Then, the domain connection is established simply by adding the 
TranslationSystem [...] fields in the .kcfgc file"

And that worked for the initial problem. After changing that, the 
texts are showing up translated in the ruleset description dialog. The 
settings.kcfg does not have this entry.

So, I do not understand why the killbots/settings is working at all 
without having the same basename and also lacking the 
TranslationSystem entry.

Does anyone know anything about this? Is there some magic involved 
regarding certain file names?

Regards,
Frederik
