Enable support for internationalization (i18n)
I suggest add multiple languages support using common internationalization libraries already used in a lot of projects (maybe with gettext).
Once support is added, then community members could submit translations to another languages.
I will need to look into it ... Will See how much i can do .. thanks for the Suggestion .. also can you please tell me which Area exactly are you talking about when you say multiple Languages ..
Mainly to texts that are translatable. Features names are usually in English and those shouldn't be translated.
The following list of texts should be translatable:
- "Available device(s)", "Platform name", "No. of ..." (the tags itself but not their values)
- Each tab name inside big tabs Vulkan, OpenGL.., such as "Device", "Properties", "Extensions".
- List view widget header bar titles, such as "Device properties" and "Value".
- Dropdown filter "Show all..." (but not other filters because are hardware dependent) and "Total (
)"; also "Type here to filter...". - Certain values like "true", "false", "none", "read", "write", "local", "yes", "no", "(n/a)".
- Certain parameters/fixed descriptions that aren't a feature of Vulkan/OpenGL..., such as "Platform Vendor", "Dedicated video memory".
- Buttons
- Full help/about big tab
What shouldn't be translatable:
- Features/properties names specific to the technology (OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL...) such as "GL_ARB_vertex_shader_layer" and "fillModeNonSolid".
- The name of the device, numeric values , version numbers, ID strings...
I may forgot something, but this should help you.
Also it should be capable of detecting current user language and show UI in that language (it usually is detected using env vars). In case of a language currently not supported, it could default to English.
Thanks, I will need to check on this , Not sure how much effort needs to be put it. Will check and update this thread.
