Ok, I couldn't resist any more. Here's #French #qXmoji. Or, something like that ...? 🙈

Dear native-speakers, if I messed up TOO badly, help me out and send patches / pull requests 🤣🍻

(edit: ah great, I directly spot the first typo in this screenshot ... gonna fix immediately. Still, the hardest thing is to express technical things in french, I guess that counts as "domain specific language" and I really have NO idea how to do it)

#X11 #emoji #keyboard

I have one little piece of custom platform-specific code in #qXmoji.

Background is that #Qt's QFileSystemWatcher doesn't work correctly on #NFS (and probably other network filesystems). It uses some platform mechanism (e.g. inotify on #Linux, kqueue on #FreeBSD) internally, so exact behavior probably depends on the platform. On FreeBSD, it *seemed* to work, but only when the change to the file on NFS is done from the local machine. 🙄

Now regarding this code:
https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/blob/master/src/bin/qxmoji/nfsdetect.c
-- I still have doubts.

▪ Should it check for other filesystems as well? Which ones?
▪ Will this construct checking for 'BSD4_4' in <sys/param.h> reliably detect every OS derived from 4.4BSD (assuming a POSIXy system that *has* sys/param.h)?
▪ Should it have implementations for *other* POSIXy systems than 4.4BSD-descendants and Linux?
▪ Why the hell is there no standard for checking the *filesystem* a file resides on? 🧐😁

The obligatory post-release-🤦-commit:

https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/commit/80f9d807837f774414fa5a26cc4dfad22499a2c1

Is there a tool checking for these? Pointless/leftover includes in #C and C++?

#qXmoji v0.7 released!

https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/releases/tag/v0.7

This brings several improvements, mainly in the build system, but the major change is support for localization, with translated Emoji names imported from #Unicode #CLDR. I added a German translation, see screenshot. Once again, I'd appreciate more translations, the process to translate is documented here:
https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/blob/master/TRANSLATE.md

Updated FreeBSD port:

#X11 #emoji #keyboard #FreeBSD #Linux

If there are no takers, I might be seduced to add #French myself.

TBH, this is kind of a threat to all french-speaking ppl. It's the only language I ever learned besides German and English, and school is a *very* long time ago. It will probably end up somewhat similar to your typical chinese user's manual 😂

#qXmoji #X11 #emoji #keyboard

#qXmoji is now completely translatable, and fully localized for 🇩🇪.

So, here comes a request for contributions 😁 (pretty please 🙃):

More languages would be nice! Therefore I documented the process to add them here:
https://github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/blob/master/TRANSLATE.md

#X11 #emoji #keyboard

Got a vertical prototype working, the tooltips in the "normal" emoji tabs are translated 🥳

🍺o'clock, later ... 🍻

#qXmoji #X11 #emoji #keyboard

Use the hashtable to map translations to emojis and auto-generate #Qt #Linguist translation files containing both texts -> done.

I just *had* to check: No, there isn't a catchy german translation for "facepalming" 🙄

#qXmoji #X11 #emoji #keyboard

Working on the next thing for #qXmoji: #l10n.

First step: Build a hash-table for localized emoji names from Unicode CLDR data.
