> expanded error message. Tells user to press yellow LED - Ilan 7 Nov 09
Wow, you really opened Pandora's box with that one, Ilan.
I had intended to fix that warning myself, but got sidetracked. When you did
it, I went in to doctor it up a little and add the screen clip of recording
LEDs (there are actually three colors to choose from, not just yellow) to the
error text.
Ouch. My poor translator bone is aching. For some reason in the past we must
have decided it was pointless to translate all these obscure exception texts.
That's just wrong though. I can see it for some extremely obscure errors that
never show up except when something goes terribly wrong during development,
but something like this one here is clearly a string the user can run into
very easily in everyday life, and it simply must be translated!
We have dozens if not hundreds of these damn things.
Sigh.
Good catch though, Ilan. Really, I can understand why we settled for not
translating a lot of dynamic strings like the contents of the studio and so on
in the past, but this was probably never acceptable. Now that Heikki has
figured out a way to translate EVERYTHING, we're damn well going to translate
EVERYTHING.
Sorry guys. Forget what I said about QObject being static now. We're going
to be adding a lot more strings to it. I'm just going to put all these
exception texts in QObject so I can use the same code everywhere. A lot of
places where these occur, we can't use plain tr() there without some work.
Any of these that are really too obscure to bother translating, I'm going to
think about doing something else with them.
