How to enable other locales in Virtual Keyboard plugin

[Leandro]

Hello,

I have to change/customize the layout of the virtual keyboard, currently I did:

1. As a layout to my language doesn t exist, I copied and merged the files from en_GB and pt_PT to create the pt_BR locale.
2. Modified the layout to my needs.
3. Added rule in the virtualkeyboard.pro file to handle my locale (merge of en_GB and pt_PT):

contains(CONFIG, lang-pt.BR) {
LAYOUT_FILES +=
content/layouts/pt_BR/dialpad.qml
content/layouts/pt_BR/digits.qml
content/layouts/pt_BR/handwriting.qml
content/layouts/pt_BR/numbers.qml
content/layouts/pt_BR/symbols.qml
t9write: LAYOUT_FILES +=
content/layouts/pt_BR/handwriting.qml
}

4. Compiled and installed it with: qmake "CONFIG += lang-all lang-pt.BR", make, make install.

5. Recompiled my project, adding to the InputPanel:

   Component.onCompleted: {
   
        VirtualKeyboardSettings.locale = "pt_BR" 
        console.log("Locale after changing it: " + VirtualKeyboardSettings.locale)
                VirtualKeyboardSettings.customLayoutsOnly = true
        console.log("locales available: " + VirtualKeyboardSettings.availableLocales)
    }
   

6. Executed my program, with result in console:

qml: Locale after changing it: pt_BR
qml: locales available:

As you can see, it has no locale available to install.

I think that qmake / make in some sort is not adding the locale files when compiling.

Can someone help?
