Translating Filmulator

@CarVac we have a weblate instance now, if you’re interested in getting filmulator setup there to do translation.

How do I make use of weblate?

paperdigits · October 19, 2020, 2:54am

I can setup filmulator as a project, point it to the strings files, then people can translate, and it will make a PR with the updated files against your repo.

CarVac · October 19, 2020, 3:20am

Do I need to manually make separate files for every language?

paperdigits · October 19, 2020, 3:48am

I think weblate will create the files as necessary. I’m not an expect (yet).

@CarVac Attached reworked translation and shortened some things.
filmulator_german.zip (23.3 KB)

Looks good so far. Will you provide different languge builds or include an option in the program to choose language?

CarVac · October 19, 2020, 11:15am

The language is automatically selected if it matches your locale.

I think I may be able to make an override, though. The easiest thing will be an English/Not English toggle, but I suppose I should do it the right way and list the languages.

CarVac · October 20, 2020, 1:19am

I’ve made an override that for now just forces the program into English.

New .ts file including that new setting: https://github.com/CarVac/filmulator-gui/blob/testbuild/filmulator-gui/qml/filmulator-gui/i18n/qml_de.ts

Hi all. i’m a brazilian photographer, see www.julianoserra.com Liked very much this software and could do a portuguese translation, please verify if it’s ok to use. Thanks tradPortugues2.txt (63.3 KB)

CarVac · January 27, 2021, 3:15am

Thanks so much, Juliano.

I needed to add a few newlines to match the original layout, and I removed the spaces between the slashes in the directory structure examples.

I’ll have more stuff for you to translate soon…

Thanks once more!

@Juliano_Serra

I’ve got a new version of the .ts file for translation!

CarVac Are you having issues with encondig? the text appears here with all &'s, and I have to use zzunescape to convert, then edit and save as UTF-8.filmulator_pt_BR_3.txt (68.7 KB)

CarVac · January 28, 2021, 2:51am

Are you using a text editor?

I was using Qt Linguist.

Juliano_Serra · January 28, 2021, 2:59am

Ok, better, I’m installing QT…

Juliano_Serra · January 28, 2021, 3:13am

Please help, what components must select to install Linguist?

CarVac · January 28, 2021, 3:18am

You should only need to install the normal “desktop gcc 64-bit”.

Then you’ll find it in the Qt/[version]/gcc_64/bin directory.

Juliano_Serra · January 28, 2021, 5:31am

Ok, much easier with linguist, hope I’ve done right. To upload here I had to change to txt file. qml_pt_BR.txt (69.8 KB)

CarVac · January 29, 2021, 12:31am

Thanks!

I discovered a fun Qt bug.

The lens selection button’s tooltip contains a backslash ("\") exactly as seen here.

In the code it’s escaped properly, "...(\"\\\")..." as a string.

However, this breaks the translation lookup function and it was never displaying the translation.

Now here’s the fun part: if I remove the backslash from it "...(\"\")...", it actually works and displays the translation, even if the translation has a backslash.

I guess I need to split up the string into two…
