JKartta update - import your custom maps
Since last time I've implemented GPX data import/export and more interestingly ability to use your own custom maps (imported in slightly modified MapInfo .tab format) with the app. With that addition I felt that I could publish the app in Jolla store, however I ran into slight snag; Translations.
So far the app has used exclusively Finnish map data, and thus there really was no need to support anything else but Finnish language. Now with custom maps it became usable elsewhere too, but I hadn't really though of translations yet.
Fortunately there weren't that many texts so adding English translations didn't take long (granted, translating main help/manual file is still work in progress). There just seems to be fun bug in Sailfish that prevents applications from automatically detecting current UI language with usual methods (QLocale::system() and getenv()). So far I haven't found any (sane) workarounds either.
Damn. Oh well, the version with map import can be (soon) downloaded from http://www.trippi.fi, as long as you can tolerate it speaking (umm.. reading?) Finnish to you. We'll see how it goes with the official store.
