Hi translators,

my favorite locale x-test to check translation issues and evil fixed=20=

layout is somehow crippled in kf5

1) we have no translations for Qt like kdeqt.po with 1985 msgs in kde4

2) Qt does not load a translation from locale x-test, because x-test is=
 a KDE=20
internal locale and therefore unknown to Qt, so it will refuse to load =
these=20
translations, even if a catalog with these translations exists.=20
This affects=20
qtbase_*.ts with 1444 msgs
all catalogs in frameworks/*_qt.po with 1058 msgs

To make locale x-test again usable for me I have performed these steps:=


* convert qtbase_de.ts from my qt 5.3 sources  to the gettext template=20=

qtbase_de.pot
* generate a qtbase_de.po in x-test with msgstr's xxfooxx
* convert the qtbase_de.po to qtbase_zu.qm
* install locale KDE x-test in + qtbase_zu.qm  in kf5/share/locale/zu

Now x-test is usable again for me under the new language name "zu".

My choice for the faked x-test locale was Zulu (zu), because zu is in=20=

kf5/share/locale/kf5_all_languages, has zero translations in kde and is=
 in ISO=20
639-1 and therefore known to Qt as well.

Now I have most of x-text translations back, except the translations fr=
om=20
desktop files, which have no msgs for locale zu.

What about if we use this recipe, rename x-test to zu (or select anothe=
r=20
locale from 639-1) to get a fully supported locale x-test with a differ=
ent name=20
again?=20
