Context menus are not translated in some applications

[bitigchi]

For instance, in StyledEdit and WebPositive, right-click menus still contain untranslated strings. See screenshot

StyledEdit Context Menu

[pulkomandy]

For WebPositive, this (and a few other things) has to be translated directly in WebKit, for which I did not write the appropriate support code yet. The translations will then be at KapiX 3rd-party translation tool, not in Haiku.

That StyledEdit context menu being not translated is a bit odd...
Same goes for Backgrounds etc. where there's a ColorControl.

The strings from the above and more end up at Pootle in the src/kits/interface/xx.catkeys file (e.g. ​de.catkeys). That file gets correctly exported to trunk, so the bug has to be somewhere else...
Could it be the B_TRANSLATE_MARK thingie e.g. at ​https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/interface/TextView.cpp#n70 ?

No, that is correct, it allows the string to be "collected" for the system catalog, but not translated using the normal B_TRANSLATE, as we need to use the gSystemCatalog here.

This used to work at least for BColorControl, so the gSystemCatalog initialization must be broken in some way.

The translations in context menus in StyledEdit and colour controls seem to work fine now. Web+, as PulkoMandy said, has to be fixed in webkit with the translations being managed at Polyglot. Closing ticket.
