Topic: Adding New Display Language

Greetings,

I want to add a new display language in QET. What changes are required to be made?
Can you please mention the individual files and changes?

I will be very grateful.

Ahsan

Re: Adding New Display Language

Get GIT sources

git clone git://git.tuxfamily.org/gitroot/qet/qet.git qet_git

https://qelectrotech.org/wiki_new/doc/t … urce_files

How to update .ts files from source files?
Note: *.ts are generally updated by the developer when he considers that the character strings to be translated are viable or by translators.

Édit qelectrotech.pro file: Comment out the lines starting with TRANSLATIONS += :

sed -i 's/^TRANSLATIONS/#TRANSLATIONS/g' qelectrotech.pro

Run the following command:

lupdate -noobsolete qelectrotech.pro -ts lang/qet_{en,es,ru,pt,cs,pl,ca,de,ro,it,ar,sl,hr,el,nl,be,sl,zh,hu,pt_br,da,sr,fr,tr,sk,nb,mn,ja,cn,uk,zh-cn}.ts

Restore file qelectrotech.pro:

sed -i 's/^#TRANSLATIONS/TRANSLATIONS/g' qelectrotech.pro

Re: Adding New Display Language

Thank you for your quick and detailed response. I want to add Mandarin (Simplified Chinese) as a display language. I couldn't see it as a part of the installed package.

Ahsan

Re: Adding New Display Language

Sir, thank you. I can see the file (qet_zh.ts) in the source code.

I will skim through the recommended documentation to figure out what to do next.

regards,
Ahsan

You need to get qtcreator program here:

Re: Adding New Display Language

I have already installed Qt 5.15.2, and I can build QET from the source code.

I have another query, whenever I build QET using Qt then it always launches in French.
However, I can launch the (pre-compiled) installed version in desired display language using  "Lancer QET.bat" 

set LANG=en_US

Re: Adding New Display Language

I openned qet_zh-cn.ts and after open qet_en.ts to see English translation, that can help you if you don't know French language.

Oh you compile QET on Windows, you use mingw or vscode?

Re: Adding New Display Language

Yes, I've compiled using MinGW and Windows 11 (22H2) [OS Build: 22621.1848]

It's normal, Chinese switch not yet added in QET source code, you need to set LANG on .bat.

Re: Adding New Display Language

Mandarin (Simplified Chinese) isn't the same than zh-cn?
I say this because a translation work was already in progress...

Dear Stephan,

yes it's a big job that will take you a lot of time, you can get help.
Do not hesitate to send your progress on the translation, even if it is not
finished, I could add the necessary code in the program so that you can see
what it looks like in real life.

Have a nice day and best regards too,
Laurent
