Summary: After changing to pt_BR is impossible to go back to
en
Description:
after upgrading opie to the latest build, it started to segfault.
investigating the problem I found that if I deleted everything in /root dir

it would come to live again.

investigating a litle more, I found the following:

when pt_BR is installed, some entries of /root/Settings/qpe.conf gets
translated to portuguese. the most important is

[InputMethod]

current = Teclado

                        
see the problem ? this isn't a problem if all packages are upgraded at
once, since pt_BR will still be installed, but it'll make impossible to
return opie to english without a segfault. this probablly happens because

i18n-en doesn't have the .qm files teaching opie how to translate "Teclado"

back to "Keyboard".

inputMethods should have another method besides ::name to identify the
input and not beeing translated, like:

QString KeyboardImpl::nameKey()
{
    //return qApp->translate( "InputMethods", "Keyboard" );
    return "Keyboard";
}

and then inputmethods/keyboard/keyboardimpl.cpp should rely on this nameKey
instead of name.

I've patched my code and it works ok

if you add virtual methods to that file, you'll break compatibilty.
