\title QML Right-to-left User Interfaces | ||
|
||
\section1 Overview | ||
|
||
This chapter discusses different approaches and options available for implementing right-to-left | ||
language support for Qt Quick applications. Some common right-to-left languages include Arabic, Hebrew, | ||
Persian and Urdu. Most changes include making sure that text translated to right-to-left languages | ||
is properly aligned to the right, and horizontally ordered content in views, lists and grids flows | ||
correctly from the right to left. | ||
|
||
In right-to-left language speaking cultures, people naturally scan and read graphic elements and text | ||
from the right to left. The general rule of thumb is that content (like photos, videos and maps) is not | ||
mirrored, but positioning of the content (like application layouts and the flow of visual elements) is | ||
mirrored. For example, photos shown in chronological order should flow from right to left, the | ||
low end range of the horizontal sliders should be located at the right side of the slider, and | ||
text lines should should be aligned to the right side of the available text area. The location of visual | ||
elements should not be mirrored when the position is related to a content; for example, when a | ||
position marker is shown to indicate a location on a map. Also, there are some special cases you may | ||
need to take into account where right-to-left language speakers are used to left-to-right | ||
positioning, for example when using number dialers in phones and media play, pause, rewind and | ||
forward buttons in music players. | ||
|
||
\section1 Text Alignment | ||
|
||
(This applies to the \l Text, \l TextInput and \l TextEdit elements.) | ||
|
||
When the horizontal alignment of a text item is not explicitly set, the text element is | ||
automatically aligned to the natural reading direction of the text. By default left-to-right text | ||
like English is aligned to the left side of the text area, and right-to-left text like Arabic is | ||
aligned to the right side of the text area. The alignment of a text element with empty text takes | ||
its alignment cue from \l QApplication::keyboardInputDirection(), which is based on the active | ||
system locale. | ||
|
||
This default locale-based alignment can be overriden by setting the \c horizontalAlignment | ||
property for the text element, or by enabling layout mirroring using the \l LayoutMirroring attached | ||
property, which causes any explicit left and right horizontal alignments to be mirrored. | ||
Note that when \l LayoutMirroring is set, the \c horizontalAlignment property value remains unchanged; | ||
the effective alignment of the text element that takes the mirroring into account can be read from the | ||
\c effectiveHorizontalAlignment property. | ||
|
||
\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/righttoleft.qml 0 | ||
|
||
\section1 Layout direction of positioners and views | ||
|
||
(This applies to the \l Row, \l Grid, \l Flow, \l ListView and \l GridView elements.) | ||
|
||
From Qt Quick 1.1 onwards, elements used for horizontal positioning and model views have gained a \c layoutDirection | ||
property for controlling the horizontal direction of the layouts. Setting \c layoutDirection to | ||
\c Qt.RightToLeft causes items to be laid out from the right to left. By default Qt Quick follows | ||
the left-to-right layout direction. | ||
|
||
The horizontal layout direction can also be reversed through the \l LayoutMirroring attached property. | ||
This causes the effective \c layoutDirection of positioners and views to be mirrored. Note the actual value | ||
of the \c layoutDirection property will remain unchanged; the effective layout direction of positioners and | ||
views that takes the mirroring into account can be read from the \c effectiveLayoutDirection property. | ||
|
||
\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/righttoleft.qml 1 | ||
|
||
\section1 Layout mirroring | ||
|
||
The attached property \l LayoutMirroring is provided as a convenience for easily implementing right-to-left | ||
support for existing left-to-right Qt Quick applications. It mirrors the behavior of \l {anchor-layout} | ||
{Item anchors}, the layout direction of \l{Using QML Positioner and Repeater Items}{positioners} and | ||
model views, and the explicit text alignment of QML text elements. | ||
|
||
You can enable layout mirroring for a particular \l Item: | ||
|
||
\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/righttoleft.qml 2 | ||
|
||
Or set all child elements to also inherit the layout direction: | ||
|
||
\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/righttoleft.qml 3 | ||
|
||
Applying mirroring in this manner does not change the actual value of the relevant anchor, | ||
\c layoutDirection or \c horizontalAlignment properties. The separate read-only property | ||
\c effectiveLayoutDirection can be used to query the effective layout | ||
direction of positioners and model views that takes the mirroring into account. Similarly the \l Text, | ||
\l TextInput and \l TextEdit elements have gained the read-only property \c effectiveHorizontalAlignment | ||
for querying the effective visual alignment of text. For anchors, the read only | ||
\l {Item::anchors}{anchors.mirrored} property reflects whether anchors have been mirrored. | ||
|
||
Note that application layouts and animations that are defined using \l {Item::}{x} property values (as | ||
opposed to anchors or positioner elements) are not affected by the \l LayoutMirroring attached property. | ||
Therefore, adding right-to-left support to these types of layouts may require some code changes to your application, | ||
especially in views that rely on both the anchors and x coordinate-based positioning. Here is one way to use | ||
the \l LayoutMirroring attached property to apply mirroring to an item that is positioned using \l {Item::}{x} | ||
coordinates: | ||
|
||
\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/righttoleft.qml 4 | ||
|
||
Not all layouts should necessarily be mirrored. There are cases where a visual element is positioned to | ||
the right side of the screen for improved one-handed use, because most people are right-handed, and not | ||
because of the reading direction. In the case that a child element should not be affected by mirroring, | ||
set the \l {LayoutMirroring::enabled}{LayoutMirroring.enabled} property for that element to false. | ||
|
||
Qt Quick is designed for developing animated, fluid user interfaces. When mirroring your application, remember to test that | ||
the animations and transitions continue to work as expected. If you do not have the resources to add | ||
right-to-left support for your application, it may be better to just keep the application layouts left | ||
aligned and just make sure that text is translated and aligned properly. | ||
|
||
\section1 Mirroring icons | ||
|
||
(This applies to \l Image, \l BorderImage and \l AnimatedImage elements.) | ||
|
||
Most images do not need to be mirrored, but some directional icons, such as arrows, may need to be mirrored. | ||
The painting of these icons can be mirrored with a dedicated \c mirror property introduced in Qt Quick 1.1: | ||
|
||
\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/righttoleft.qml 5 | ||
|
||
\section1 Default layout direction | ||
|
||
The \l {QML:Qt::application}{Qt.application.layoutDirection} property can be used to query the active layout direction of the | ||
application. It is based on QApplication::layoutDirection(), which most commonly determines the layout | ||
direction from the active language translation file. | ||
|
||
To define the layout direction for a particular locale, declare the dedicated string literal | ||
\c QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION in context \c QApplication as either "LTR" or "RTL". | ||
|
||
You can do this by first introducing this line | ||
|
||
\code | ||
QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("QApplication", "QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION"); | ||
\endcode | ||
|
||
somewhere in your QML source code and calling \c lupdate to generate the translation source file. | ||
|
||
\code | ||
lupdate myapp.qml -ts myapp.ts | ||
\endcode | ||
|
||
This will append the following declaration to the translation file, where you can fill in either "LTR" or | ||
"RTL" as the translation for the locale. | ||
|
||
\code | ||
<context> | ||
<name>QApplication</name> | ||
<message> | ||
<location filename="myapp.qml" line="33"/> | ||
<source>QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION</source> | ||
<translation type="unfinished">RTL</translation> | ||
</message> | ||
</context> | ||
\endcode | ||
|
||
You can test that the layout direction works as expected by running your Qt Quick application with | ||
the compiled translation file: | ||
|
||
\code | ||
qmlviewer myapp.qml -translation myapp.qm | ||
\endcode | ||
|
||
You can test your application in right-to-left layout direction simply by executing qmlviewer with a | ||
command-line parameter "-reverse": | ||
|
||
\code | ||
qmlviewer myapp.qml -reverse | ||
\endcode | ||
|
||
The layout direction can also be set from C++ by calling the static function \l QApplication::setLayoutDirection(): | ||
|
||
\code | ||
QApplication app(argc, argv); | ||
app.setLayoutDirection(Qt::RightToLeft); | ||
\endcode | ||
