issue with a translation of command on the GUI

[david69]

I think there is a mismatch in the code for the following command "Pocket Shape" which forbids the translation. I am using Yorik's advices

if we run the command from the GUI, we read in the Python view:

Code: Select all

>>> Gui.runCommand('Path_Pocket_Shape',0)

and if I look for the code, I find:

Code: Select all

dvd@dvd:/usr/share/freecad-daily$ grep -r "Pocket Shape" *
Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathPocketShapeGui.py:__title__ = "Path Pocket Shape Operation UI"
Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathPocketShapeGui.py:__doc__ = "Pocket Shape operation page controller and command implementation."
Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathPocketShapeGui.py:Command = PathOpGui.SetupOperation('Pocket Shape',
Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathPocketShapeGui.py:        QtCore.QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("Path_Pocket", "Pocket Shape"),
Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathPocketShape.py:__title__ = "Path Pocket Shape Operation"
Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathSelection.py:    opsel['Pocket Shape'] = pocketselect
dvd@dvd:/usr/share/freecad-daily$ 

in particular

Code: Select all

QtCore.QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("Path_Pocket", "Pocket Shape"),

Am I well understanding? Can it explain why we don't see the translation even if in Crowdin there is one for a while.
I am not yet familiar with these actions.

There's lots of issues with use of translation in Path. We've got an organized effort underway to fix it.

That wiki page links to others that explain translation pretty well.

One PR has already been merged and two more (#5324 #5270) are pending. If you want to help with the cleanup, that page will get you started or ping me on gitter.

thank you for the answer and your suggestion to participate to fix these issue on Path workbench.
I have translated almost all the wiki in French and also giving a hand on Crowdin (that's the way I have found "my" small issue). Code is far from my knowledge but if I can spend some time on that, I'll give a try.
