OK, but adding a couple of lines of code makes this much nicer for
English users. E.g.
- for (int i = 0; i < label.size(); ++i) {
+
+ docstring paren = _("(");
+ const int start_at = label.indexOf(to_utf8(paren).c_str()) + 1;
+ for (int i = start_at; i < label.size(); ++i) {
The above patch means that I have
_English
English (_UK)
which I find much more meaningful than:
_English
E_nglsh (UK)
It does however have a regression, as Canadians may find the original
behavior better than
English (_Canadian)
French (C_anadian)
Also I think it would look nicer if it output
Chinese (_Simplified)
rather than
Chine_se (Simplified)
but Qt doesn't seem to support this.
A couple of questions:
1) Is using _("(") enough to make the code sufficiently multilingual?
2) Would you like an improved patch that achieves the above without
introducing the Canadian regression?
