Arabic issue #1: QSpinBox doen't work properly with Arabic locale
by Munzir Taha 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi Sirs! Due to a message from Matthias Ettrich, I am retesting the Arabic and RTL bugs from the beginning against the latest snapshot. Qt Version: qt-x11-opensource-4.0.0-b2-snapshot-20050131 System: Mandrake 10.1 on AMD64 QSpinBox was not working when reversed but now it's working but with many issues. CODE: LC_ALL=ar qt/examples/widgets/spinboxes/spinboxes shows the year like this 1059 and could only be increased to 1109 though the code is: dateEdit->setDateRange(QDate(2005, 1, 1), QDate(2010, 12, 31)); dateLabel->setText(tr("Appointment date (between %0 and %1):") .arg(dateEdit->minimumDate().toString(Qt::ISODate)) .arg(dateEdit->maximumDate().toString(Qt::ISODate))); I guess the issue has something to do with my ar locale and Hijri Calendar. I can see functions like Also, $ LC_TIME=ar /usr/local/qt/examples/widgets/spinboxes/spinboxes shows another problem. PROBLEM: When I click many times in the strange Arabic letters/glyphs that appeared on the first QDate spin box that says "Appointment date (between 2005, 1, 1 and 2010, 12, 31:", the program crashes with the error: ASSERT: "glyph_pos != -1" in file text/qtextlayout.cpp, line 1719 Aborted LC_ALL=ar_SA.UTF-8 shows broken glyphs of Sunday (in Arabic) though it's Tuesday today as my $ date command shows! even LC_ALL=C shows the year as either 05 or 10! so I can't use 06, 07, 08 and 09 as per the code setDateRange() function. What about Hijri date functions: isn't it implemented here? Can you copy it from KDE code? WoW the bugs are getting nasty now ;) -- Munzir Taha PGP Key available gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net F0671821 Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer Mandrake Club Member Maintainer of the Open Arabic Bugs Project at http://wiki.arabeyes.org/OpenBugs Maintainer of Fedora Arabic Translation Project https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-trans-ar CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS, Linux+, LPI 101 New Horizons CLC, Riyadh, SA

Good Morning everyone :) I would like to wish everyone of you a very happy new year. A littel bit late but it is never too late. I have been lacking contribution lately due to some personal issues, but I am back :) I would like to inqure about our status on review, I know Munizr has assigened a file or different files to different ppl including myself. So I would like to do: - Munzir, can you publish this file again? Send it to the list and I will put it to the site? - Everyone of active member here .. Start reviewing the files, and send to the list with how long you will take to finish. I think this should be fair .. Again I would like to ping everyone who is not yet active in this mailing-list .. We have quite number of people but I only see emails from specific people. So .. For everyone who is registered to this mailing list and did not contribute anything, even by saying "good work" or "bad work" .. would you kindly introduce yourself and share at least your openion? I am flying to Egypt for two weeks tomorrow .. Desoky , would you like to do something with Linux-Egypt LUG while I am in Egypt (We can take this off-list) :) Thanks Sherif

Thanks at least now I know those are real bugs and not just silly postings out of ignorance ;) 8. Accelerator and QMenu CODE: From the Qt examples I tested like this: /examples/mainwindows/application/mainwindow.cpp: editMenu = menuBar()->addMenu(trUtf8("ﺕ&ﺡﺮﻳﺭ"((; The order of Arabic letters is messed 9. Arabic letters disappear when diacritics are used! I manage to reproduce this in QLabel, QTextEdit and QLineEdit اً The above line is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and a diacritic over it (FATHATAN). When I type or paste this, it disappears! 10. Shortcuts don't work when an Arabic letter is used: CODE: pb.setShortcut(QObject::trUtf8("Ctrl+ن", "Quit")); 11. setReverseLayout() is not a member of QApplication! QApplication::setReverseLayout(); gives error: `setReverseLayout' is not a member of `QApplication' Is this related to styles not being implemented yet or what? 12. 5. Arabic letters disappear when diacritics are used! I managed to reproduce this with CODE: QTextEdit *text = new QTextEdit(QObject::trUtf8("ا")); PROBLEM: you want see any letters displayed! اً The above line is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and a diacritic over it (FATHATAN). When I type or paste this, it disappears!

I assume that no work is needed in this file, right ? وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته You are right the file has no lots of mistakes but I can figure out some of those creatures like: msgid "unlocking would make the password field empty" msgstr "ألغاء التأمين سوف يترك حقل كلمة المرور فارغاً" #: It should be إلغاء not ألغاء msgid "Copying user structure:\n" msgstr "جاري نسخ بناء موطن المستخدم:\n" #: It should be جاري نسخ بنية المستخدم Please correct them and commit. I suggest you take any file you want instead but always remember we need you to find 20 mistakes, correct them and post them here (don't count these two ;)).

In QLineEdit I expect the true implementation to have directionality to be checked and reveresed (RTL) automatically when an RTL language like Arabic is detected. This is what I understand the Unicode standard advocates and what GTK+ and Windows implements, am I wrong? 5. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81858 This should be a Qt bug. I discussed this before with Mr. Lars Knoll but not sure how can I test it now with Qt examples. lars? 6. /usr/local/qt/examples/dialogs/standarddialogs/standarddialogs -reverse The "Basic colors" and "Custom colors" palette doesn't respond to -reverse option when I tested with QColorDialog::getColor() 7.

Hi .. Thanks for your feedback. Translation is almost done and we are in the QA and fixing grammar/spelling mistakes or proper translation sometimes in the translation. Also there are quite some effort with different groups/projects to report and/or fix bugs related to RTL for better support of Arabic. Again on behave of the Arabic Fedora team I would like to thank you for your feedback and would like to ask you to bring anything to our attention if you see any improvement and/or suggestions for better translation. Thanks Sherif > hello ! i was just wanted to find oiut when the arabic support will be > finished. i noticed only a few things werent done well thanks and i > apriciate your reply > >

Qt Arabic Bugs!
by Munzir Taha 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

Hi! I would like to inform you that these days I am testing the new Qt4 b1 for bugs related to Arabic. I compiled it and now sending messages to their mailing list. From now on, I will cc the list here for those who are interested. It would be good if some one would take the responsibility of contacting GTK+ mailing, too. Let's see which toolkit would be RTL bug free first. -- Munzir Taha PGP Key available gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net F0671821 Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer Mandrake Club Member Maintainer of the Open Arabic Bugs Project at http://wiki.arabeyes.org/OpenBugs Maintainer of Fedora Arabic Translation Project https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-trans-ar CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS, Linux+, LPI 101 New Horizons CLC, Riyadh, SA

what do you want to translate today?
by Munzir Taha 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

Salaam, This is a Request for Comment (RFC). I would/may be involved in other translation projects besides Fedora and I need your help in deciding which applications have more priorites or you think is well needed. These translation projects are adopted by King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It's better if those suggested apps are in Fedora and other distros by default. Thanks for your cooperation in advance! -- Munzir Taha PGP Key available gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net F0671821 Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer Mandrake Club Member Maintainer of the Open Arabic Bugs Project at http://wiki.arabeyes.org/OpenBugs Maintainer of Fedora Arabic Translation Project CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS, Linux+, LPI 101 New Horizons CLC, Riyadh, SA
