KI18n is a cross-platform internationalization framework used by KDE applications. This crate is meant to allow using KI18n with Rust and [qmetaobject-rs](https://github.com/woboq/qmetaobject-rs) crate.
## Introduction
KI18n is a cross-platform internationalization framework used by KDE applications. This crate
is meant to allow using KI18n with Rust and [qmetaobject-rs](https://github.com/woboq/qmetaobject-rs) crate.
# Motivation
I love KDE. I have been using it as my primary DE for quite a while. I also like Rust Programming Language. Currently, it is nearly impossible to use any KDE frameworks from Rust without some C++ FFI. While FFI is never easy, complexity with C++ is exponentially more than plain C due to the Object-Oriented nature of C++, which is entirely different from Rust's somewhat functional design.

If possible, I would like the Tier-1 KDE Frameworks to be usable from pragmatic Rust in a somewhat natural fashion. I am currently interested in KDE frameworks that are usable with QML.

# Requirements
## Requirements
This crate requires KF5I18n to be installed or at least present in the system.
## Ubuntu
### Ubuntu
``` shell
sudo apt install libkf5i18n-dev
```
```rust
## Arch Linux
``` shell
sudo pacman -S ki18n
```
# Custom Location for KF5I18n
The crate searches from KF5I18n using either the environment variables (KF5_I18n_INCLUDE_PATH and KF5_I18n_LIBRARY_PATH) if they are set or just
searches at /usr/include /usr/library
## Custom Location for KF5I18n
The crate searches from KF5I18n using either the environment variables (`KF_VERSION`,
`KF_INCLUDE_PATH` and `KF_LIBRARY_PATH`) if they are set or uses `kf5-config` to find the paths.
# Example
## Example
```rust
use cstr::cstr;
use qmetaobject::prelude::*;
