Hi all!
My first message to this list. Sorry for being somewhat wordy.
Some locales have modifiers appended to them. Examples:
ca_ES@valencia
sr_RS@latin
Currently, in the Language and Formats views in gnome-control-center,
such locales are shown with the same labels as their equivalents without
modifiers. So in the Language view you may see two occurrences of:
Catalan Spain
and
Serbian Serbia
and in the Formats view you may see two occurrences of:
Spain (Catalan)
and
Serbia (Serbian)
The issue has been reported here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/issues/50
and is about to be fixed now. Already committed changes together with
proposed changes to gnome-desktop and gnome-control-center result in this:
Language view
-------------
Catalan Spain
Catalan — Valencia Spain
Serbian Serbia
Serbian — Latin Serbia
Formats view
------------
Spain (Catalan — Valencia)
Spain (Catalan)
Serbia (Serbian — Latin)
Serbia (Serbian)
The key to achieve this is the function gnome_get_translated_modifier()
in this file:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/blob/master/libgnome-desktop/gnome-languages.c
where a few translatable strings, representing raw modifier strings,
have been hard coded.
I'm bringing this to your attention to ask if you think the solution in
the making is reasonable and something you feel comfortable with. If you
have doubts, please respond to this message or comment on the still open
merge request:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/merge_requests/45
Thanks!
