We now have a new API function for libvoikko:
/**
* Get the localized short description of the grammar error.
* @param error The grammar error
* @param language ISO language code for the lanugage of error description
* @return The UTF-8 encoded localized error description. Use
* voikkoFreeErrorMessageCstr to delete the message after use.
*/
char * voikkoGetGrammarErrorShortDescription(struct VoikkoGrammarError *
error, const char * language);
This can be used as a replacement for the old function that is now marked as
deprecated:
const char * voikko_error_message_cstr(int error_code, const char * language);
Using the new function you can have the error description depend on the
specific error, not just the error code. And since we now specify that the
resulting string must be deleted after use it is possible to load the
descriptions from a file.
What is still missing is a function voikkoGetGrammarErrorTitle that would
depend on the error code but not on the specific error. This would be needed
if we wanted to build a settings pane for enabling or disabling checks for
specific error types (this exists at least in MS Word). But since we don't
have the UI yet I left this one out for now.
Libreoffice-voikko has also been modified to use the new API.
The implementation for voikkoGetGrammarErrorShortDescription can be found
under src/grammar/error.cpp. This is where you can plug in your code for
producing variable error descriptions, reading them form an XML file or
something like that.
The command line tools and Python/Java/.Net interfaces have not yet been
updated for the new API.
