The text is part of the configuration. I haven't checked if user-visible strings in kcfg.xml files can be translated. https://cgit.kde.org/kdeplasma-addons.git/tree/applets/timer/package/contents/config/main.xml#n38 If you clear the text in the configuration page, it should default to a translated version of the "Timer finished" message. https://cgit.kde.org/kdeplasma-addons.git/tree/applets/timer/package/contents/ui/main.qml#n115 (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #1) > If you clear the text in the configuration page, it should default to a > translated version of the "Timer finished" message. This approach works. However many users who once saw the English message "Timer finished" and had it saved in the configuration will now get the English variant forever. In my opinion such customizable notifications should be stored in configuration as a pair {bool customized; string customNotification;}, so that for users who do not customize it the message will follow the currently selected language. Migrating reports from kdeplasma-addon to plasmashell Probably we should change the UI here so that it uses a translated "Timer Finished" message by default, and then the text field would be empty by default and only used for overriding this default text. |
