[Denemo-devel] Language Translation - a BREAKTHROUGH!

[Richard Shann]

Denemo has not been translatable for a long time because most commands
are not built in, but created at run time by reading in files.
It occurred to me that it is not difficult to compile these files, and
hence make Denemo translatable.
The only difficulty will be those few commands that use the music
symbols from Denemo.ttf in their labels or tooltips.
These are there partly because they are international - I have to think
twice to know what an American means by a 32nd note.

I have the code working but I am not sure how to trigger the problem
with the music symbols. I have tried ./autogen.sh, configure and make,
make install and make dist without hitting it.
I'll check the code into git and if someone can make it fall over on
translation let me know.

For those wanting to know, Denemo is itself used to compile the command
files, by compiling it (actually just keyboard.c) with
GENERATE_SOURCE_CODE defined. Then on running this Denemo the source
files install_commands.[c,h] are created, which then compile into Denemo
to give translatable labels and tooltips.
