The fact is, operators' label are nearly always verbs, while properties labels are nearly always nouns. So this should already solve many translations' problems regarding noun/verb confusion.
This commit also simplifies a bit i18n usage:
*Now IFACE_ and TIP_ macros (or there context versions, CTX_IFACE_/TIP_) are used nearly everywhere (with one exception, where code is a bit complex and needs to manually test whether ui/tip translations is allowed, so no need to redo it later through those macros).
*Also, those macros are now defined to NOP in case WITH_INTERNATIONAL is false, which avoid testing that define everywhere in code!
- edgebisect bmesh operator used uninialized beauty field.
- BLI_join_dirfile could read from before the string bounds when passed an empty dir string.
- pransform could use an uninitialized projected coordinate (unlikely but possible)
- RNA_property_path_from_ID_check would compare against an uninitialized pointer when the path wasn't found.
also have bmesh walker use BM_edge_other_vert() utility function.
- bugfix for setting string defaults in rna functions (incorrect pointer use and would copy past string length).
- Object.dm_info was setting a default when it didnt need to.
details
- uses redo stack to get recent settings from.
- adds a flag to IDProperties so RNA_property_is_set() can return false even if the property is exists.
- PROP_SKIP_SAVE option skips these settings from getting reset (as with presets).
This commit implements a way to define context of property which is used by
localization stuff and which is needed to resolve translation context when
some word wit the same english spelling is used in different meanings
(like Manual in meaning of tutorial, and Manual in meaning of something is
setting up by hand).
To define property's context there's a function RNA_def_property_translation_context.
If property doesn't have context, regular BLF_gettext function is used to get
translation of property name, otherwise BLF_pgettext is used for this.
Hence, for correct translation, messages in .po files should be marked
by "msgctxt" context, otherwise property with context declared wouldn't
be translated at all. Toolchain scripts from bf-translation project
would be updated soon.
If context for some values of enumerator property, property itself should
be moved to other context and all items from this enum would be moved to
this context automatically (it's impossible to move one few items to
another context).
P.S. Think context like "BRUSH" or "MODIFIER" are preferable than "NOUN" and "VERB"
because in some cases the same english noun used in different areas better be
translated differently to make translation more native.
Talked with Brecht and Campbell and they both agreed that bpy.types should match bpy.props
In the ideal world we would rename bpy.props to BooleanProperty. This would break scripts though. So we go for a compromise and at least have some consistency.
- remove redundant casts
- replace strcmp's with "" to just check first char.
- added WM_event_print(), debug mode only to print events since the structs values are not that meaningful.
- added warnings if locale/font dirs cant be found.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
