<p>Sorry, I forgot to respond to this.</p>
<p>Yes, you can have a look at sword/tests/parsekey.cpp</p>
<p>But basically, while you can directly use LocaleMgr to translate
any strings, even strings in your application if you augment
SWORD's locale's with your application string with something like:</p>
<p>LocaleMgr::getSystemLocaleMgr()->loadConfigDir(SWBuf("~/.myapp/locales.d");</p>
<p>.. only the [Text] section is used directly for the translate
method. E.g., if your application has some strings you'd like to
add to SWORD's translatable strings, for German, you might add a
file:</p>
# ~/.myapp/locales.d/de-utf8.conf<br>
#
<p>[Meta]<br>
Name=de<br>
Description=Deutsch (Unicode)<br>
Encoding=UTF-8<br>
Contributor=Justin Bellars <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:jbellars@gmail.com"><jbellars@gmail.com></a><br>
Contributor=Ulrich Schmid <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:schmid.ub@googlemail.com"><schmid.ub@googlemail.com></a><br>
<br>
[Text]<br>
View=Abrufen<br>
Bibles=Bibeln<br>
Language Assist=Sprachförderung<br>
Commentary Assist=Kommentarförderung<br>
Verse Study=Vers-für-Vers-Analyse<br>
Bookmarks=Lesezeichen<br>
</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Any strings in this section will be available to LocaleMgr's
translate method, including all the ones that come default with
SWORD.</p>
<p>The other sections (sections besides [Text] in SWORD's locale
files are not specifically for directly translation. They are
used by SWORD's verse parser VerseKey translation, etc.</p>
<p>The typically way an app uses all this is (not usually all in one
place each time they want a translated book name, but for ordering
purposes all in one place...):</p>
const char *usersPreferredLocaleName = "de"<br>
const char *bookTerm = "Gen";<br>
const char *activeBibleName = "KJVA";<br>
<br>
LocaleMgr::getSystemLocaleMgr()->setDefaultLocaleName(usersPreferredLocaleName);<br>
<br>
SWMgr library;<br>
SWModule *bible = library.getModule(activeBibleName);<br>
<br>
VerseKey *vk = (VerseKey *)bible->getKey();<br>
vk->setText(bookTerm);<br>
<br>
std::string translatedAbbreviation = vk->getBookAbbrev();<br>
<br>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In summery, usually a user's preferred locale is set systemwide.
Then everything is generally switched to that locale, i.e.,
VerseKey output will be in that locale so when you getBookAbbrev,
you will get German.</p>
<p>You can do lower level work if you'd like. SWKey has a setLocale
method if you'd like to set just a single key to a different
language. But typically our frontends set default locale
systemwide before constructing SWMgr.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>
<p>Troy</p>

<div>I think the lack of response is as there is no sensible
way of responding.<br>
<br>
The whole construct of abbreviations (irrespective of
languages) is uniderectional (Abbr->Book name). The
same applies to English. What you mix up here is that a
particular subset of English abbreviations is also the set
of OSIS identifiers.</div>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>how can I use the LocaleMgr to get a
translated book abbreviation?<br>
<br>
For some reason this code did not work
for me:</p>
<div style="color: rgb(212,212,212);background-color: rgb(30,30,30);font-family: "Droid Sans Mono" , monospace , monospace , "Droid Sans Fallback";font-weight: normal;font-size: 14.0px;line-height: 19.0px;white-space: pre;">
<div><span style="color: rgb(78,201,176);">sword</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">::SWLocale* locale = </span><span style="color: rgb(86,156,214);">this</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">-></span><span style="color: rgb(156,220,254);">_localeMgr</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">-></span><span style="color: rgb(220,220,170);">getLocale</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">(</span><span style="color: rgb(156,220,254);">localeCode</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">);</span></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(78,201,176);">std</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">::string translatedAbbreviation = </span><span style="color: rgb(78,201,176);">std</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">::</span><span style="color: rgb(220,220,170);">string</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">(</span><span style="color: rgb(156,220,254);">locale</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">-></span><span style="color: rgb(220,220,170);">translate</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">(</span><span style="color: rgb(156,220,254);">bookTerm</span><span style="color: rgb(212,212,212);">));</span></div>
</div>
<p>I was using "de" as a locale and "Gen"
as the term to be translated, but I did
not get the german variant of "Gen", but
rather the exact same term "Gen" as a
result.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
Tobias</p>
