- make it conditionally available for testing via
Settings/Advanced/Enable translations
- display a tooltip and infobox explaining the current and future
situation
- upon app start, force the language to "en" if the translations are not
enabled; and suggest app restart when they get disabled
Fixes#14527
- TLDR: we were scaling twice, resulting in ginourmous pixel values
The long story:
- since Qt treats the various scale factors in a multiplicative way (see
https://www.qt.io/blog/2016/01/26/high-dpi-support-in-qt-5-6 for
explanation) and there's no way to get the screen's baseline scale
factor programatically, we also have to export `QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS`
to something that's not equal to `0` or `1` to force the monitor scale
factor to `100%` and then compensate for it when exporting our own scale
value using `QT_SCALE_FACTOR`
- make the UI slider values go in `25%` steps, allowing for more fine
grained control; with `100%` we fallback to the Qt's native handling of
highdpi
- raised the maximum to `300%` since on highres displays, one wouldn't
be able to go over the implicit maximum of `200%` (due to the internal
scaling being 2x)
- scale our main window's minimum width/height so that we don't overflow
the monitor's available space
- modernize the `ConfirmAppRestartModal` to use `StatusDialog`
- use the new `Utils.restartApplication()` when changing the UI language
as well
- remove some dead code
In the (very) long term, we should take a different approach of scaling
our app independently of Qt, just taking the monitor
`Screen.devicePixelRatio` into account, similar to what other apps like
Telegram do
Fixes#13484
disable retranslation, display a confirmation dialog and apply the
language change after app restart
rationale: the way the retranslation works internally is that it force
reevaluation of _all_ QML bindings which:
- might lead to crashes (immediately or later)
- lots of warnings printed to console, some bindings can get broken as a result
- not all UI is correctly retranslated on the fly (we have lots of places
where we assign the text imperatively via JS code), so these wouldn't
appear translated before app restart anyway
Fixes#7823
Enabled restart info popup after language is changed --> Workaround to temporary resolve the crash we have when language is changed (`startupModule` is null and some qml bindings are still calling this dead pointer) so, change language will not retranslate and instead, also on mac and win, the app will need a restart to apply the new language.
Disabled retranslations for all os on the corresponding service.
Will temporary fix#7709
- pull in required StatusQ changes (see status-im/StatusQ#882)
- simplify the radio buttons handling, no need for a ButtonGroup as they
share the same parent
- the radio buttons have the desired font size as a result ;)
`tst_languageSettings`:
- Feature and basic scenarios definition: Change language by selection and change language by search.
- Added `StatusLanguageScreen` class and related methods to change and validate language.
`SquishDriver`:
- Added support to scroll at a specific list view index.
- Added support to directly type into a focused element.
`settings_names.py`:
- Added support for object names related to `side bar` options.
- Unified some nomenclature related to settings objects.
`LanguageView`:
- Updated to allow registering the change on Linux before the restart popup is shown so the language test can work.
Closes#6903
Added Date & Time selectors in `Language & Currency" screen.
Added new properties in `local_app_settings` to set the date and time format.
Created all the chain from view to service to update date and time format.
Added date and time format functions in `Utils`.
Updated `FetchMoreMessagesButton`, `ChatTimePanel`, `AppSearch`, `TransactionBubbleView` and `TransactionDelegate` date and time text depending on the selected format.
Closes#5386
Added currency picker into `LanguageView.qml`.
Added `category` and `imageSource` property to existing `CurrenciesStore.qml`. Renamed `code` to `shortName`.
Added `currenciesModel` property to `WalletStore.qml`.
Added wallet store into `LanguageView.qml` in order to link to the currencies model.
Added some tokens in the currencies store.
Made wallet and any currency related UI code that uses current currency use the new Display Currency value.
Removed no longer used wallet/settings related files.
Closes#5385
Renamed setting section "Language" to "Language & Currency".
Updated link to StatusQ - Needed new `StatusListPicker` component.
Added language model in `LanguageStore` and created first view approach for `Language` setting.
Added temporal confirmation dialog for Linux OS (since it is currently needed to restart the app to apply changes).
Removed no longer used files.
Closes#5384
