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.

Example

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

fn main() {
  let mut engine = QmlEngine::new();
  KLocalizedContext::init_from_engine(&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();
}
