Translating external workbenches

Nice! Are you on Github? Can you link to your fork? Actually link to the line number you edited?

It should be after these two lines.

https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/BIM_Wo ... #L320-L322

Code: Select all

        FreeCADGui.addLanguagePath(BimCommands.getLanguagePath())
        Log ('Loading BIM module... done\n')
        FreeCADGui.updateLocale() # refresh the language according to current locale.

Yes, the code let FreeCAD to refresh translation.

        # load rebar tools (Reinforcement addon)

        try:
            import RebarTools
        except ImportError:
            pass
        else:
            # create popup group for Rebar tools
            class RebarGroupCommand:
                def GetCommands(self):
                    return tuple(["Arch_Rebar"]+RebarTools.RebarCommands)
                def GetResources(self):
                    return { 'MenuText': 'Reinforcement tools','ToolTip': 'Reinforcement tools'}
                def IsActive(self):
                    return not FreeCAD.ActiveDocument is None
            FreeCADGui.addCommand('Arch_RebarTools', RebarGroupCommand())
            self.bimtools[self.bimtools.index("Arch_Rebar")] = "Arch_RebarTools"

One other issue about rebar addon, RebarGroupCommand menu not translated, while sub menus are translated. Pls see attached.

Any idea?

Same issue in Arch Module. Arch_AxisTools as example.

I found all menu (group) with sub menus not translated.

Hi all,
I just started a new crowdin project named "FreeCAD-addons". The idea is to be easy for everybody, translators will find all addons in one place, and addon developers can get more visibility:

https://crowdin.com/project/freecad-addons

Addon developers willing to get your WB translated, you should create a "master" (untranslated) .ts file for your workbench, then create a crowdin account and contact me to get added to that project. Then you'll be able to upload your file there (manually or via script), and download the translations anytime (again, manually or via script).

I received a new hope with the FreeCADGui.updateLocale() function to be able to translate macros. I gave it another try this morning but was unsuccessful.

Does someone know how to debug i18n issues? For example, how to get a list of loaded translation files, a list of translation files that FreeCAD searched but didn't find, a list of translation strings, a list of translation contexts, etc.

Thanks a lot!

I encountered the same problem, can't the group name be translated?

I Finally managed to translate almost whole dodo workbench to spanish.
The main issue came from

Code: Select all

FreeCADGui.addLanguagePath(pForms.getLanguagePath())

this part of code is the right way to add a translating path. getLanguagePath is a function defined on pForms module and it contains

Code: Select all

def getLanguagePath():
    import os
    return os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),"translations")

I got stuck on translating drop down menu header.

Code: Select all

self.appendMenu(QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("dodo","Frame tools"),self.frameList)
    self.appendMenu(QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("dodo","Pype tools"),self.pypeList)
    self.appendMenu(QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("dodo","Utils"),self.utilsList)
    self.appendMenu(QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("dodo","QkMenus"),self.qm)
    Log ('Loading Pipe tools: done\n')
    FreeCADGui.updateLocale()

It done team!

dodo workbench is fully translated to spanish
Here is a example or a small pipe and created objects

Translated#1.jpg (22.77 KiB) Viewed 3051 times

Translated#2.jpg (29.74 KiB) Viewed 3051 times

Translated#3.jpg (13.22 KiB) Viewed 3051 times

Here you have a example to send a translation to ts file and translate the object name

Code: Select all

a=FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::FeaturePython",translate("Part::FeaturePython","Tube"))

each module you translate you must place these lines at the begining of de module

Code: Select all

from PySide.QtCore import QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP
from DraftGui import translate

Make sure these lines are placed in InitGui.py module in the order showed

Code: Select all

FreeCADGui.addLanguagePath(pForms.getLanguagePath())
    FreeCADGui.updateLocale()

Excellent! If you are interested, I would advise you to create a main .ts file (without language code in it), and add it to https://crowdin.com/project/freecad-addons (send me your crowdin username and I'll give you access rights). Then FreeCAD translators can then easily find it. When you have access right, you also have access to the crowdin API and automate all the process of uploading/retrieving translations, check the translation scripts I did for the BIM WB at https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/BIM_Wo ... ster/utils
