[Gtranslator-devel] Voodoo routines..



I'm trying to add a similarity calculating function -- currently there is a really insane version of it in "utils.c" in the
"gtranslator_utils_calculate_similarity" function. What do you all say to this? Especially I fear this causes many problems with multibyte learn buffering.. Hmm.

This kind of function is needed to get the new pref to specify a minimum matching percentage for the auto translation working in a sane way.

Here is the important code snippet:
        if(!a || !b || !nautilus_strcmp(a, "") || !nautilus_strcmp(b, ""))
        {
                return 0.0;
        }

        /*
         * Calculate the similarity value a single char is representing.
         */
         / (strlen(a) - 1));

        /*
         * Now we do check the characters of the two given strings..
         *  Voodoo, Magic!
         */
        while(a[i] && b[i] && a[i]!='\0' && b[i]!='\0')
        {
                if(a[i]==b[i])
                {
                        similarity+=one_char_percentage;
                }
                else if(tolower(a[i])==tolower(b[i]))
                {
                        similarity+=(one_char_percentage / 2);
                }

                i++;
	}
