Hi Peter, On Oct 28, 2008, at 2:10 PM, Peter Ammon wrote:
Apple does not provide any translations of the operator names or criteria. This is because NSPredicateEditor is designed to be localized with sentence granularity, not word by word. Translating each word independently and piecing them together doesn't produce as good a localization.For example, in Finder, you can search for "[Last modified date] is [within last] [5] [weeks]". That whole sentence is what gets localized - it appears in a strings file in Finder's bundle - and there can be a separate localization for each possible sentence.There's an example of a NSRuleEditor localized into Spanish at http://homepage.mac.com/gershwin/NibBasedSpotlightSearcher.zip (NSPredicateEditor's localization is identical). Also see NSNavRuleEditor.strings inside AppKit.framework/*.lproj for how the search in the Open panel gets localized.
OK, thanks very much! That's very interesting, I would have never figured that out from the documentation, and it appears my googling skills are very bad.
Of course, you can localize each word independently if you prefer, with the usual mechanism - set the title of each menu item in each popup to the translation you want.
In my case it might even work but I'd love to give this mechanism a try but...
Let me know if you have any questions,
I do! I tried to localize the All/Any/None sentence for the German localization. When I do this I get an exception and the following console log:
10/28/08 3:20:54 PM myApp[43721] Error parsing localization!
Key: %d %@
Value: %1$d %2$@
Error is: The maximum given order was 2, but nothing has order 1.
The localization part looks like this:
"%[Any]@ of the following are true" = "%[Eine]@ der folgenden
Bedingungen treffen zu";
"%[All]@ of the following are true" = "%[Alle]@ der folgenden
Bedingungen treffen zu";
"%[None]@ of the following are true" = "%[Keine]@ der folgenden
Bedingungen treffen zu";
I've set the predicate editor's formattingStringsFilename in - awakeFromNib and implemented
- (NSDictionary *)ruleEditor:(NSPredicateEditor *)editor predicatePartsForCriterion:(id)criterion withDisplayValue:(id)value inRow:(NSInteger)row
{
NSMutableDictionary *result = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
if ([value isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]) {
if ([value isEqual:@"Any"]) [result setObject:[NSNumber
numberWithInt:NSOrPredicateType]
forKey:NSRuleEditorPredicateCompoundType];
else if ([value isEqual:@"All"]) [result setObject:[NSNumber
numberWithInt:NSAndPredicateType]
forKey:NSRuleEditorPredicateCompoundType];
else if ([value isEqual:@"None"]) [result setObject:[NSNumber
numberWithInt:NSNotPredicateType]
forKey:NSRuleEditorPredicateCompoundType];
}
return result;
}
which never gets called (probably because it's a NSPredicateEditor and
as such does not use delegate methods?). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks very much for your help! Regards Markus -- __________________________________________ Markus Spoettl
