KI18n Crate for Rust

KI18n is a cross-platform internationalization framework used by KDE applications. This crate is meant to allow using KI18n with Rust and qmetaobject-rs crate.

Requirements

This crate requires KF5I18n to be installed or at least present in the system.

Ubuntu

shell sudo apt install libkf5i18n-dev

Arch Linux

shell sudo pacman -S ki18n

Custom Location for KF5I18n

The crate searches from KF5I18n using either the environment variables (KF5I18nINCLUDEPATH and KF5I18nLIBRARYPATH) if they are set or just searches at /usr/include /usr/library

Example

```rust use cstr::cstr; use qmetaobject::prelude::*; use ki18n_rs::KLocalizedContext;

fn main() { let mut engine = QmlEngine::new(); KLocalizedContext::initfromengine(&engine); engine.load_data(r#" import QtQuick 2.6 import QtQuick.Controls 2.0 as Controls import QtQuick.Layouts 1.2 import org.kde.kirigami 2.13 as Kirigami

// Base element, provides basic features needed for all kirigami applications
Kirigami.ApplicationWindow {
    // ID provides unique identifier to reference this element
    id: root

    // Window title
    // i18nc is useful for adding context for translators, also lets strings be changed for different languages
    title: i18nc("@title:window", "Hello World")

    // Initial page to be loaded on app load
    pageStack.initialPage: Kirigami.Page {

        Controls.Label {
            // Center label horizontally and vertically within parent element
            anchors.centerIn: parent
            text: i18n("Hello World!")
        }
    }
}

"#.into()); engine.exec(); } ```
