Setting i18n.domain breaks translation

[Michał Sawicz]

Given a file:

import QtQuick 2.0
import Ubuntu.Components 0.1

Item {
    Component.onCompleted: {
        //i18n.domain = "unity8";
        console.debug(i18n.tr("Search"), "vs.", i18n.dtr("unity8", "Search"));
    }
}

The output is (provided you have unity8 installed):
$ LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 qmlscene test.qml
Search vs. Szukaj

But if you uncomment the commented line:
$ LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 qmlscene test.qml
Search vs. Search

This, more or less, means that translations are broken in the current Ubuntu SDK...

My guess is that it broke here:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/staging/revision/1053

so the fix for click apps made it not work for unity8.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

It looks as though setting the domain (or having MainView do that by default) breaks dtr for that domain *unless* APP_DIR=/usr is set. Apologies for not seeing it before, as the scopes are not affected so I only now realized "search" comes from a different domain.
