[Kdenlive-devel] Localization bug

[jasonwood at blueyonder.co.uk]

Kdenlive.cpp contains a method called initView() which constructs the dock widgets that make up the interface (each window in the interface is held in a dock widget) 

Basically, widget names should not be localized, while any string that is displayed to the user should be localised.

A localised string looks like this : 

i18n("This string will be translated")

A quick look shows at least one line that might be the culprit :

KDockWidget *widget = createDockWidget( i18n( "TimeLine" ), QPixmap(), 0, i18n( "TimeLine" ) );

Compared to the other dockWidgets, this has i18n() around both "TimeLine" strings, where the other dock widgets only i18n one of them, e.g.

KDockWidget *projectDock = createDockWidget( "project list", QPixmap(), 0, i18n( "project list" ) );

Cheers,
Jason

Dear friends,

Thanks Jason for your insight about the crazy Windows bug. When choosing 
American-English from the KDE panel, Kdenlive behaves normally. This seems to 
be a localization bug.

Could you point out which location of the code may be responsible, so I can 
submit a patch? I am new to Kdenlive and Kde programming as well, this may be 
a good way to start...

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel Pouré
