Translating external workbenches

[EdgarRobles]

Hi FreeCAD team,

I trying to translate Dodo workbench https://github.com/oddtopus/dodo i have made whole procedure described on this page https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Transla ... _workbench without success.
This is what i have done:
-Edit some test code in order to generate one .ts file. I successfully made it through pyside2-lupdate command on windows 10.
-Made a translations folder behind InitGui.py dodo workbench file and es_ES.ts and es_ES.qm files inside.
-addtranslationpath function point to translation folder at the right way and its placed at the begining in InitGui.py .
Freecad load dodo workbench with this changes without errors.
I'm not sure what a missing.

Alternative Translation method for FreeCAD Addons? https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=42516

I am trying to translate BIM workbench to Chinese and almost done.
There are several problems.

1. Move to trash menu still display English.
BimCommands.py

Code: Select all

class BIM_Trash:


    def GetResources(self):

        return {'Pixmap'  : os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),"icons","BIM_Trash.svg"),
                'MenuText': QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("BIM_TogglePanels", "Move to Trash"),
                'ToolTip' : QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("BIM_TogglePanels", "Moves the selected objects to the Trash folder"),
                'Accel': 'Shift+Del'}

2. Welcome screen dialog(dialogWelcome.ui), views dialog(dialogViews.ui) and status icon still display English.
InitGui.py

Code: Select all

        if FreeCAD.ParamGet("User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/BIM").GetBool("FirstTime",True) and (not hasattr(FreeCAD,"TestEnvironment")):
            todo.delay(FreeCADGui.runCommand,"BIM_Welcome")
        todo.delay(BimCommands.setStatusIcons,True)

3. I cannot find where "BIM Views manager" is, which is shown in toolbar context menu, please see attached 1.png.

4. Even I set language to Chinese, BIM workbench require changing to another language and back to Chinese for the translation to work. Is there a work around?

BTW, I confirm that all strings are translated and included in ts and qm file.

Thanks.

谢谢! (Thank you! for helping with translation.)

[Kunda1]

Can we please figure out why translations aren't working for external workbenches?

Is there any approach? I checked the ts file and sure the translated words are there. The ts file is released to qm file.

Thanks.

Should be explained in Translating_an_external_workbench
But I don't know the details of where the problem is

Hi,

"Can we please figure out why translations aren't working for external workbenches?"
I was able to load translation for PCB WB. Put FreeCADGui.addLanguagePath("") just after Initialize() def.

Code: Select all

def Initialize(self):
        FreeCADGui.addLanguagePath(":/data/translations")
        ....

However in "InitGui.py" code

Code: Select all

FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage(translate("PCB", "InitGui") + "\n")
print(translate("PCB", "InitGui"))

def Initialize () returns "InitGui", but def Activated () returns correct translation.

I fixed the BIM Workbench tranlsation issue by add one line code after digging into the source code.

Code: Select all

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

Hope it is helpful.

Alex.

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