[Marble-devel] Problems with translation loading

[Yuri Chornoivan]

Hi,

Testing of Marble form Applications 16.04 shows several problems with  
translation not shown in widgets and main window.

Findings by Alexander Potashev:

1. Strings like "Global Search" in  
scr/lib/marble/SearchInputWidget.cpp:76,99 load through tr(), are  
extracted into marble_qt.pot but never shown translated.

2. Options dialog strings, like those from MarbleViewSettingsWidget.ui,  
are extracted to marble.po, but loaded through qt_wrap_ui (instead of  
ki18n_wrap_ui) in src/lib/marble/CMakeLists.txt, so strings like "Units",  
"Distance:", "Angle:" are shown untranslated.

3. KDE packaging scripts convert marble_qt.po into marble_qt.qm, not  
marble_qt.mo, so the translations are never shown without some manual  
intrusion (might be Kubuntu packaging problem). For some reason, packagers  
include MOs for marble_xml_mimetypes.po and marble.appdata.po (should it  
be org.marble.appdata.po?).

Can somebody look at these problems and fix them if possible?

Many thanks in advance for your work.

Best regards,
Yuri
