[Tvtime-devel] localized xmltv data

[Ingo v. L. <in...@gm...>]

Hi there,

here's my first patch to display local data (title/subtitle/description)
if the xmltv file provides it. At the moment there's no comfortable way
to set the language code, you have to manually edit your tvtime.xml
file:

  <option name="XMLTVLanguage" value="de"/>

Possible solutions:

- Add a parameter to tvtime-configure to set the language code and
  mention this setting at http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/xmltv.html.
- Parse the xmltv file for language codes and let the user choose
  graphically. Problem: The setting might be lost if there's
  temporarilly no valid xmltv file.
- Use getlocale to determine the user's LC_MESSAGES setting and manually
  resolve aliases (/usr/share/locale/locale.alias). Not even remotely
  portable. :-(
- Very simple: Ignore the lang attribute's value and simply prefer the
  localized title over the generic one, if both exist. Could actually
  work in most situations.

        Cheers,
            Ingo
