Comment traduire QElectroTech dans une autre langue ?

Here is the (normally exhaustive) list of components to be translated into a given language for QElectroTech:

• the strings in the program itself: .ts and .qm files in the lang/ folder;
• In qetproject.cpp, méthod QETProject::namesListForIntegrationCategory() : hard-coded translation of “Imported Items” to be provided to the developer;
• The names in the elements collection: .elmt and qet_directory files in the elements/ folder ;
• The shortcut to QElectroTech in the menus: file qelectrotech.desktop in misc/ ;
• The Unix manual in man/ ;
• The CREDIT, README, ELEMENTS.LICENSE, INSTALL files ;
• The file packaging/linux/fedora/README.elements.
• https://www.qt.io/offline-installers?hsLang=en
• http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linguist-translators.html
• Qt daily updated translation files
• wiki Qt_Localization
• Qet_translate : Element translation tool Download

• Maintenance of translations by regular monitoring of changes in the Git or Github repository;

The easiest way is to change the system language.

Another solution: in the launcher Lancer Qet.bat we add in the (set command=) un set LANG=en_US by example

Which give:

..........
set command=bin\qelectrotech.exe --common-elements-dir=elements/ --common-tbt-dir=titleblocks/ --lang-dir=lang/ --config-dir=conf/ 
set LANG=en_US -style plastique %*
.............

Or

...........
set LANG=en_US
rem lance QElectroTech
set command=bin\qelectrotech.exe --common-elements-dir=elements/ --common-tbt-dir=titleblocks/ --lang-dir=lang/ --config-dir=conf/ -style plastique %*
................

laurent@debian:~$ export LANG="en_US";    qelectrotech

Ou

laurent@debian:~$ LANG="en_US" qelectrotech

Download this script to put in your git copy

wget https://download.qelectrotech.org/qet/scripts/detect_non_translated_elements.sh

Make it executable

chmod +x detect_non_translated_elements.sh

Find items not translated into Polish for example:

laurent@debian:~/Qet-svn/qet_directory$ ./detect_non_translated_elements.sh pl
./elements/automatisme/domotique/qet_directory
./elements/automatisme/regulateurs/wit/wit6.2ucentrale.elmt
./elements/domestique/electromenager/eclairage.elmt
./elements/domestique/electromenager/lave-linge.elmt
./elements/domestique/electromenager/arrosage-auto.elmt
./elements/domestique/electromenager/terre.elmt
./elements/domestique/electromenager/gestion-energie.elmt
./elements/nomenclatures/grille_composition.elmt

• To participate in the project: some notions of using Git;
• To test the application under development and thus test the translations of recent strings: a version compilée de QET ;
• For the .ts / .qm : Qt Linguist (as well as utilities lupdate et lrelease) ;
• for other files: any text editor worthy of the name.

It is of course possible to learn how to use these tools on the job by coming to our IRC channel. If you want to translate QElectroTech, contact the development team by email or visit our IRC channel. The languages accepted to communicate with the development team are French and English.

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 missing references to source files :

  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/lupdate -locations absolute  qelectrotech.pro -ts lang/qet_br.ts

• Restore file qelectrotech.pro:

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

• Generate translation binaries:

  lrelease lang/qet_*.ts

Notes :

• Qt translations are always considered done as they are the responsibility of Qt Software, with the exception of the Czech translation, handled by Pavel Fric via Gitorious : cf Qt translation to czech
