gok settings .xml.in strings missing i18n markup
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Some of the strings in access method xml.in files need markup, for instance the names of various access method combobox fields. THis is because those names get exposed as the 'accessible names' of the access methods when GOK does a UI Grab of the settings dialog. There may be other attributes in those .xam files that ought to be localized as well.
as an example, see automatic-scanning.xml.in: <GOK:control name="movehighlighter" type="combobox" ...> should read <GOK:control _name="move highlighter" type="combobox" ...> etc. since the 'name' attribute gets exposed to the user. Also just above it, <GOK:control type="label" string="Start Scanning:"> should read <GOK:control type="label" _string="Start Scanning:"> since the 'string' attribute is displayed in the label onscreen. Note that the exposing of the combo names is new, required in order to provide non-empty accessible-names for the combos when GOK UI Grabs its own Access Methods UI. Deadline for marking the strings is Feb 9. Can you take this, David?
Sure, as long as I can use Monday (is the deadline roughly Monday midnight?) -- I'm currently debugging my solution for bug 123284 ... Hopefully this bug is as easy as it sounds.
actually the new tarball needs to be made with the new strings, so it would need to be Monday AM. I think this bug may take precedence over the layout issue for the moment. If you can't take this David, I'll do it on Monday before I create the new tarball - just let me know :-)
Is this just a matter of adding underscores?
mostly - though some elements needed the 'string' attribute where none was provided so far. fixed in cvs.
