Re: [gtk-osx-users] Using localization with "Application" menu with the gtk mac integration library.

Please copy the list on all replies; use “reply all” (the double-arrow).

Oops Sorry about that. :\

Please either open a bug with the stack trace of the crash or post it here; if you use the crash log you please cut it off after the stack trace, as the hundred lines of dylib information just adds clutter. If you can, please use a debug build of gtk-mac-integration and of your application so that the line numbers are present in the stack trace.

Ok, interestingly enough, launching Xboard with the -debug flag avoids the crash and it looks like it works via putting Xboard at the end.  But the xboard debug log doesn’t say anything useful for this, and is mostly for internal stuff xboard.  Our coder, Harm Geert Muller, might know why this could be the case, but he knows very little about OSX.

If it helps, the problem is avoided when we change the english input side of the string in those two areas that will eventually have the application name with it.

Menu items moved from other menus need to be translated in the application using whatever localization scheme you use for the rest of the program; that’s normally gettext for Gtk applications.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that.  It’s therefor on our end. :)

You can’t just change the keys in the strings. You also have to change the keys in the table lookup. For example, the “Hide” lookup is at line 246 in gtkosxapplication_quartz.c:

 menuitem = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle: [[NSLocalizedStringFromTable (@"Hide",  @"GtkosxApplication", @"Hide menu item title") autorelease] stringByAppendingFormat: @" %@", appname]
      action: @selector (hide: ) keyEquivalent: @"h”];

That’s not really the right way to do that, since it forces the app name to the end of the string. It also won’t find the key “Hide % “ in your revised strings file. It needs to be something like (because I haven’t tested it)

 menuitem = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle: [stringWithFormat: [NSLocalizedStringFromTable (@“Hide %@", @"GtkosxApplication", @"Hide menu item title") autorelease], appname]
      action: @selector (hide: ) keyEquivalent: @"h”];

Ah, makes sense. I tried compiling it with one then the other, which succeeded, and then rebuilt xboard.   Neither translated “Quit % “ or “Hide % “   It would be ideal to place the application name before or after the string depending on the language.

Thank-you!
