Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs In "Help" menu in each application there is a "<application> handbook" entry. As most teams do not have enough resources to translate all docs, it would be useful if this entry could show translation status, for example: "Ark handbook (in Polish)" if the doc is translated "Ark handbook" if the doc is not translated English documentation might be deterring for unexperienced users speaking only native language, so such message showing that documentation is in native language would encourage them to use it.
So, is possible at all or not?
I saw SVN commit 647712 (Implementation of switching language for individual applications). Is it a step toward solving this bug, too?
Switching application language is something different - and my commit was reverted, because maintainers wanted the feature to be first ported to KDE4, for which I don't have time. I could investigate implementing this feature also (shouldn't be too hard), but it does not make sense, as it also would have to be ported to KDE4 first.
Well, does that mean that requested option will be available at least in KDE4? (hopefully... :-) )
No, it means it could be available in 3.5 but it won't, since it would have to be implemented in both 3.5 and 4 and I don't have time for that.
well, then maybe someone else could implement your efforts in KDE4 when you've working implementations for KDE3? Or is it too much to hope for such collaboration?...
Given the fact that I got no reply for porting switching application language to KDE 4 (and it will not be present in KDE 3.5.7), I do not see the big chance. If you can find someone, I will find time to implement this feature as I am also interested in it.
I'm sure you asked for help at kde-devel or kde-core-devel - and nobody offered you help for porting your code to KDE4? That's sad...
Yes, I have asked twice.
It seems one of your undertakings has been ported to KDE4 now (SVN commit 667087 by djarvie: Implement facility to switch language for individual programs. Ported to KDE 4 from Krzysztof Lichota's original KDE 3 code.), maybe it encourages you to continue your effort to solve this bug, too? :-)
Yes, I will try to implement this feature too :)
I will try to implement this feature, but it will not go in into main KDE - 3.5 branch has been completely frozen. I will try to provide a patch for those interested, though.
Well, it doesn't need to go KDE3, it may very well be nice addition to the KDE4...
Just for interest - how far have you proceed? Can we see something like that in KDE4?

I see... Let's then hope you've some time in future 'cos it'd be very nice feature!
