macOS: Activate localization for Qt's macOS-specific Finder menu

Open HackintoshHD opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

I have noticed that xca's macOS-specific Qt Finder menu is not localized (by that I refer to the Mac-specific, first menu item and its sub-entries in the macOS Finder bar on top of the screen right to the Apple symbol, which for macOS applications is always the application's name). All content remains in English which would be okay if the strings simply hadn't been translated yet.

I've initially noticed this issue in another of my favorite applications, digiKam, which is also built on Qt and have filed a bug report there. Gilles Caulier, digikam's coordinator and one of its three lead developers, has looked into the issue and could resolve it really easily for digiKam:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432685#c3 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432685#c4

It sure is a more or less cosmetic issue, but on the other hand, a homogeneous, complete localization very much adds to an 'OS-native' user experience of an application. So I wonder if the described folder structure could be added to one of xca's next builds?

Thanks a lot!
