Comment (by jonas.kirilla):
I don't think the patch is right. Translations of filenames can live in
any catalog, anywhere, not limited to the catalogs related to Tracker.
(The Deskbar menu folders translations live in Deskbars catalog. And, for
example, a pkgfs package could have its folders translated, providing its
own catalog for this. As long as the system knows how to look up a catalog
by its signature.)
The lookup happens like this:
A filesystem entry has an attribute called SYS:NAME with the contents
(catalog signature : context : string). If the Locale setting "Translate
apps and folders in Deskbar and Tracker" is selected, Tracker will attempt
to use the BLocaleRoster to look up translations.
Tracker calls BLocaleRoster::GetLocalizedFileName(BString&
localizedFileName, const entry_ref& ref, bool traverse) with the entry_ref
of the filesystem entry (file, app, folder or link) to see if there's a
translation for it.
Which in turn calls the method _PrepareCatalogEntry() which simpy reads
the SYS:NAME attribute of the entry and parses its contents as three
string: catalog signature, context and string.
The signature is (or, rather, was) used to find the proper catalog, in
which to look up the translation of string/context, but it seems the
method BCatalog::SetCatalog(const char* signature, uint32 fingerprint) was
removed.
So, how to find the right catalog for an arbitrary signature, post r43021?
