[21:56:04] mag0o: iamlindoro: speaking of translations, is there somwhere for themes that i should be looking when adding helptext/fields/buttons...?
[21:56:56] iamlindoro: mag0o: Not really-- The themes distributed with our source end up with their strings in the translator's file-- third party themes don't have that advantage
[21:57:12] mag0o: gotcha
[21:57:24] iamlindoro: But where and when you use the same strings as found in other themes, the translations shoudl work, as I understand it
[21:57:31] mag0o: makes sense
[21:57:34] iamlindoro: so only those which you uniquely wrote would remain untranslated
[21:58:36] iamlindoro: With Arclight, there are a number of places where I abbreviate a word to make it fit in limited space, I am a little anxious about when it becomes some monstrous german compound word in translation
[21:59:09] mag0o: heh

[21:59:42] iamlindoro: I suspect no translator will go back and check the unique strings for fit. Oh well
[22:00:09] laga: we can hyphenate it just for you ;)
[22:00:25] iamlindoro: Heh
[22:01:06] iamlindoro: when I was accurate enough to make sure that the textarea size fit within the window, it ought to be fine-- but there are probably a fair number of screens where there would be overlap in the case of excessively long words
[22:19:30] Beirdo: !trout laga hello
[22:19:30] ** MythLogBot slaps laga with a hello trout on behalf of Beirdo... **
[22:19:33] Beirdo: hehe
[22:19:40] Beirdo: long time no see.
[22:20:05] iamlindoro: Oh yay, we can trout in here now
[22:20:10] Beirdo: heh
[22:20:32] ** Beirdo tosses a wireless mouse at laga (and wonders if he remembers) **
[22:20:53] Beirdo: anyways
[22:20:58] Beirdo: I need to head home
[22:27:05] ** laga chucks a mouse back **
[22:27:09] laga: hey Beirdo

[22:55:33] mrand: 1. Are themestrings case sensitive? 2. Do whitespaces in themestrings get ignored?
[22:57:04] iamlindoro: Yes, No, AIUI
[22:57:31] mrand: Thanks
[22:57:34] iamlindoro: np
[23:10:10] mrand: iamlindoro: in some cases mythvideo uses "Browse :", and others it uses "Browse:" (without a space). Was this intentional?
[23:10:40] iamlindoro: where mythvideo = ?
[23:10:44] iamlindoro: strings change from theme to theme
[23:11:01] iamlindoro: only things that exist in the code are menu entries, really
[23:11:22] mrand: uhhhhh... I'm looking at themestrings.h
[23:11:34] iamlindoro: so one theme uses one, one uses another, etc.
[23:11:44] iamlindoro: Presumably intentional
[23:12:05] mrand: ok.
[23:12:15] mrand: I'll assume that until I understand it better. Thans.
[23:13:08] iamlindoro: themestrings is a concatenated list of strings in all the themes
[23:13:26] mrand: ahhh. I see. I'm looking at this backwards.
[23:13:30] iamlindoro: so it's not mythvideo itself using any of those strings, but rather that those strings exist in the mythvideo theme in one of the many things
[23:13:32] iamlindoro: er many themes
[23:13:40] mrand: That makes more sense.
