Hi everyone !

I'm developping a plasmoid/widget named Webslice (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=169878), and want to do the right thing by providing localization and internationalization to the users.

But one big roadblock is in front of me :
How to install the messages catalogs ?

I know that locales must be installed in /usr/share/locale/. I can create a CMake directive, as stated in https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tu ... ld_Systems I tried installing the languages catalogs by hand, and it worked flawlessly. But that means two things : user must be root, and run it by hand (cmake; make; sudo make install;).

So my questions are :
- Is there a way of installing a language catalog in the user home directory ? (I tried ~/.local/usr/share/locale/, but it didn't work)
- Is there a way to run an installation script when using the GUI to install a plasmoid from KDE-look ? (add graphic components->get new components->download new plasma widgets)

I suppose the GUI uses plasmapkg2, but it seems that it doesn't handle locales at all (using it by hand or by GUI)

Anyway, any help would be welcome ! Thanks in advance !

(BTW, if you want to see how the folders of the locales are set, the whole plasmoid is here : https://github.com/Cqoicebordel/webslice-plasmoid )

Nobody knows how to do that ?

This question may be more suited for the plasma-devel mailing list.

That's what I was told.

So I sended a message to the mailing list the 11th. But since I'm not a subscriber (and don't want to become one), the mail has to go through approval, and as of today, still didn't go through.

I tried by IRC, on the mailing list, on the forums. I have no idea where to ask next. I even mailed Marco Martin directly, but since he is far from his computer he couldn't answer.

So what should I do ?

BTW, I'm a newbie on plasma dev. And facing a wall this quickly isn't a good sign for other devs...
