time(h, m) => What Time Is It?
Source string description
TRANS: The rules to print the time in the localized language.
Example syntax:
time(h, 15) => a quarter to hour(h) am_pm(h) |
The left hand side of the rule defines a pattern with a variable 'h' and a
value '15'.
The right hand side, when applied, will use the text "a quarter to " and call
the first rule matching hour(h) after substituting the variable 'h' by its value,
and call the rule matching am_pm(h).
Internal spaces are significant on the right side of a rule. In calls, all
arguments which are not numbers are considered to be variables. The rule parser
is very simple and will let many syntax errors go ignored.
A rule ends with the character '|'.
The character '_' is a anonymous variable.
The character '#' can be used to concatenate two text fragments. For instance:
plural(1) => |
plural(_) => s |
hour(h) => number(h) hour#plural(h) |
Use '\#' to use a # character, for instance in a pango color
tag like <span foreground="\#FF0055">
You can put range conditions on firing a rule, with the syntax [var1 < var2] or
[var1 < var2 < var3]. For instance:
hours(h) [h < 12] => in the morning |
hours(h) [12 < h < 18] => in the afternoon |
hours(_) => in the night |
These rules will be called with the root pattern "time(hour, minute)", with the
variable 'hour' bound to the current hour and the variable 'minute' to the
current minute.
Order of rules is important. Rules are tried from first to last. So most precise
rule must be placed first in the list.
You can validate your set of rules by running the command line:
python timewriter.py LANG
You should use pango markup to respect the same colors as for the clock hands.
Look at the README file from the activity for explanations on how to create
rules.
Can foresee incorrect cases in Danish, though certainly not disabilitating. "Half past two" can't be translated into Danish, as it should be [expressed in the Danish way] "Thirty minutes past two". I wonder how this has been solved in other GNOME/KDE applications. Numbers beyond twenty should perhaps be replaced by numbers in Danish.
