That beeing said, Klaus & everyone, what would you think about letting me give it a try? I think and I hope I'll be able to provide a patch in few days, with all existing translations migrated to the new aproach and adapted makefiles (maybe until this weekend, depending on spare time), in the meantime we could discuss the concept, maybe I'll have questioons for few details (maybe there are issues other than spare time or priorities which made you plan this for 1.5.x). Well, in the end we'll see if it's good or not, but we might have the chance to workout the breakage in this i18n matter only once and already now (as I said, I think I'll be able to do it myself, so it's up to me to find the time, and I'll promise I'll yell or let it be if I happen to get stuck, you won't have to wait for this if you already plan a feature-freeze for releasing 1.4, I only think we could give it a shot, it might turn out good enough for having it merged). But please tell me if there is ablsolutely no interest for this now.
Seems that you already made some serious thoughts about how this could be done. I already thought that Klaus does not want to make major concept changes until 1.4 is out but if you still want to go for it i wouldn't mind ;)
@Klaus did you already make some thoughts about the message format? would gettext be your choice? do you have other ideas?
AFAICS ATM gettext() is the way this is normally done, so I guess I would do it that way, too.
There would be one file for each language in VDR itself, and each plugin would also have its own set of language files. There will also be a way of converting the exiting i18n files into the new format.
But this is as far as I'll go here now. I'm having my mind full of other things and just don't want to elaborate on this right now.
If you want to implement something here now, that's your choice. But please don't be mad at me if I choose to do things differently in version 1.5.
Klaus
