On my Mac (Snow Leopard) I am using the somewhat non-standard configuration of
an English-language UI but with an otherwise German locale (dates/times,
measurement units, etc.). That is, "System Preferences" - "Language & Text" -
"Formats" - "Region" for me is "Germany (English)". (On the other hand, my
~/.bash_profile configures the LANG/LC_* environment variables so that "locale"
reports "en_US.UTF-8". Things mostly seem to work fine that way.)
However, many of the OOo unoapi tests fail for me (DEV300_m76 unxmacxi.pro).
What appears to happen is the following:
qadevOOo/tests/java/ifc/accessibility/_XAccesibleContext.java checks that a
com.sun.star.accessibility.XAccessibleContext.getLocale UNO method returns a
com.sun.star.lang.Locale that has a non-empty Country member. The
implementation of that method (toolkit/source/awt/vclxaccessiblecomponent.cxx)
simply returns Application::GetSettings().GetLocale(). That
(vcl/source/app/settings.cxx) in turn calls SvtSysLocale::GetLocale, which
(unotools/source/misc/syslocale.cxx) in turn calls
SvtSysLocaleOptions::GetRealLocale, which
(unotools/source/config/syslocaleoptions.cxx) relies on
SvtSysLocaleOptions_Impl::MakeRealLocale. This internally uses
m_eRealLanguage = MsLangId::getSystemLanguage();
MsLangId::convertLanguageToLocale(m_eRealLanguage, m_aRealLanguage);
First, MsLangId::getSystemLanguage (i18npool/inc/i18npool/mslangid.hxx) calls
getPlatformSystemLanguageImpl (i18npool/source/isolang/inunx.cxx). That, for
MACOSX, uses osl_getProcessLocale to obtain a locale (with rLang="en" and
rCountry="DE" in my case, as it internally favors
CFPreferencesCopyAppValue("AppleLocale") over inspecting the LANG/LC_*
environment variables), but then calls
MsLangId::convertIsoNamesToLanguage(rLang, rCountry), which has nothing more
specific than LANGUAGE_ENGLISH to represent that odd language/country
combination.
Thus, second, MsLangId::convertLanguageToLocale has lost the country
information ("DE"), so will produce a Locale instance that only has language
information ("en"). Up all the levels again, this will make the unoapi check
in _XAccessibleContext.java fail.
Now, where is the error?
- SvtSysLocaleOptions_Impl::MakeRealLocale
(unotools/source/config/syslocaleoptions.cxx) obtaining a LanguageType enum
value to create a Locale from it looks wrong, as the LanguageType enum
obviously cannot encode all the relevant information.
- However, is _XAccessibleContext.java correct in requiring a non-empty Country
member? The documentation of the com.sun.star.lang.Locale UNO struct specifies
for the Country member: "If this field contains an empty string, the meaning
depends on the context." I lack the context here to judge whether
com.sun.star.accessibility.XAccessibleContext.getLocale may legitimately return
a Locale that "depends on the context" in this way...
