           Summary: search providers might be language independent
           Product: kcontrol
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: molkentin kde org
        ReportedBy: fundawang linux net cn


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Currently, search providers [1] is not language independent, which means all the \
search providers will be displayed in all locales. It will become even more \
non-user-friendly when considering most of the search providers are not global \
providers like Google.

Here is my thought on this issue:
1. All the search providers are installed in all locales, but whether specific one is \
enabled various in different system settings. So that it won't break Make-ing and \
Packaging. 2. Whether a specific search provider is enabled or not is decided by \
whether it can provide service in certain language. This might be implemented by \
checking whether specific .desktop file contains Name[LL] entry. 3. Whether the \
search provider fits the system is decided by klocale. Users can select languages he \
want to use, then the search providers of selected languages should be enabled \
accordingly. Of course, if the URL various in different languages, the URL in the \
most preferred language should be used.

WDYT?
