--- Comment #6 from netterfi...@astro.utoronto.ca ---
This is a ... deep bug.
When no column names are provided by the file, the ascii datasource plugin
automatically names the columns "Column 1" etc, and, of course, makes "Column"
a translatable string. So in German it calls it "Spalte 1" etc.
Kst proper knows nothing of the names being automatic or translated - it just
knows the list of field names that the datasource provides - and when it saves
a vector, it uses the only name it has been given.
Trying to load in a different language fails.
Options:
- don't translate "Column" - field would be called "Column 1", etc, regardless
of language.
- don't add "Column" to the automatically generated name of the field. So
"Column 1" would just become "1".
- Save the translated name in the data source config section of the session
file, and use that translation regardless of what language the session is
reopened in.
- Apologize that session files are not compatible between languages.
Other options that might be more desirable seem to require significant
re-architecturing how data sources handle field names.
Thoughts?
