1.9.4 - shortcuts - keys - label localization

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.9.4
Windows11 (24H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Shortcuts - keys
localized labels:
- are leaking into default.KEYS
- naming is not consistent

Issue
  • English
    1. switch to Italian
    2. restart app
    Home key works
    3. close app and delete default.KEYS
    4. run app, goto Settings
    - open Shortcuts
    - press OK
    default.KEYS file will be created
    Home key no longer works because 'Home' is written as ⇱ in default.KEYS file

  • Italian
    mixes symbol (⇱) and word (Fine) for Home/End keys
    the correct approach would be to use either symbols or words, rather than mixing them

  • Polish
    'Home' is named as 'Katalog domowy' which is wrong, should be just Home

Symbols
  • ⇧ Shift
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_key wrote:The keyboard symbol for the Shift key (which is called Level 2 Select key in the international standard series ISO/IEC 9995) is given in ISO/IEC 9995-7 as symbol 1, and in ISO 7000 “Graphical symbols for use on equipment” as a directional variant of the symbol ISO-7000-251. In Unicode 6.1, the character approximating this symbol best is U+21E7 upwards white arrow (⇧).[3] This symbol is commonly used to denote the Shift key on modern keyboards (especially on non-US layouts and on the Apple Keyboard), sometimes in combination with the word "Shift" or its translation in the local language. This symbol also is used in texts to denote the Shift key.
  • ⇱ Home
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_key wrote:Its standard symbol ⇱ from ISO/IEC 9995-7, i.e. U+21F1 ⇱ NORTH WEST ARROW TO CORNER, is used on some full-size keyboards instead of a possibly localized text label.
  • ⇲ End
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_key wrote:Its standard symbol ⇲ as described in ISO/IEC 9995-7, i.e. U+21F2 ⇲ SOUTH EAST ARROW TO CORNER, is used on some full-size keyboards instead of a possibly localized text label.
