- remove redundant casts
- replace strcmp's with "" to just check first char.
- added WM_event_print(), debug mode only to print events since the structs values are not that meaningful.
- added warnings if locale/font dirs cant be found.
Previous state:
Right now, there are "memories" of the "old" (less than a month!) translation way:
* A few remaining calls to BLF_gettext() (only UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip should be used).
* The _() macro still also calls BLF_gettext()!
New state:
Here are the changes made by the patch:
* Removing the no more needed _() macro.
* Removing most N_() and _() calls, only keeping the few needed ones (i.e. strings that are in no other way findable by xgettext and/or update_msg script).
* Defining in UI_interface.h IFACE_() and TIP_() macros (resp. for UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip).
* Replacing all calls to BLF_gettext by relevant IFACE_ or TIP_ one.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_iface by IFACE_.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_tooltip by TIP_.
All this somewhat clarifies and simplifies the code.
On the bf-translations scripts side, this only implies adding IFACE_ and TIP_ as detection markers for xgettext.
It also allows to reduce POTFILES.in quite notably (only 20 files remaining in it).

- currently X11 only, depends on Xinput (but should not break other os's).
- ghost stores utf8 buffer, copies to wmEvent's
- UI text input is currently the only area that uses this - not console or text editor.
- no rna access yet.
- initialize the relative_path option in ED_fileselect_get_params(), saves initializing within every operators own init functions, some even trying to initialize a non existing property.
- don't set the operator default from the user preferece, operator property defaults should be static else python scripts for eg can get different defaults depending on user settings, this also wont get updated when user-defaults are edited so generally confusing & not good practice.
like other code in blender it should write to the one actually verified
to exist.
Also fixes wrong temp directory when loading user preferences with no
temp directory from a state where one was specified.
Stylus can produce slight movements when it touches tablet,
so CLICK event wasn't triggering. Do not store INBETWEEN_MOUSE
as previous event to make CLICK events triggered correct.
Thanks to Brecht to pointing on short way to fix this problem.
==============================================
Commiting GSoC project by Xiangquan Xiao trunk.
Applied as separated patch, because svn merge produces to much false
conflicts and worked really slow.
Details for usage would be published on code.blender.org soon.
Thanks to Xiao for implementation of project, Campbell to code review,
Dalai and Gez for pointing to nice font and everybody else who took
part in improving i18n support.
- Static variables can be initialized with constants only.
- Removed bunifont.ttf.c from datafiles -- it's not actually a
data file. Unicode font loading stuff is not in blenkernel/font.c
- Allocate as much memory for unzipped data as it's needed.
Default read chunk is 512Kb.
- Fixed regression (or just a typo) in setting utf locale.
- Default locale set to en_US:en works fine now.
- Commented put Nepali language in user preferences -- it's
not supported by current droid font and imo it's better to
have nice font for languages we actually have translation for
rather than allowing to choose more languages in user preferences.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
