Updating Translations

[pktiuk]

Some of currently supported languages need update (mainly status updates in about sections and updates of .desktop file )

Translations are stored in:

• .ts files -entire interface, windows etc. This can be translated with Our Weblate project (you can also use QT Linguist, but you should be familiar with it and with GitHub). This is, where 99% of translations are done.
• .desktop file - application name and context menu
• filetype descriptions - it is used for informing users what is the purpose of files with amgp extension

Translation status:

I can do german, I'm a native speaker. Is anyone already doing that?

[vguttmann]

Also, the link which I think is supposed to link to the files gives me a 404, the correct link would be https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/tree/master/share/antimicrox/translations (you had the "X" capitalized in the repo name).

And you are naming german twice in your list. Is there a deeper meaning to this?

[pktiuk]

Hi @vguttmann,
We don't have any ongoing updates in translations right now.

It seems we have bugs even in our issues. 😉
Mentioning German twice was unintentional. I have also updated link to translations.

Portuguese isn't there yet, but since there is a major update on translations I can add the portuguese one 😉

Also, just a suggestion, you could try contacting the people that translated in the first place, if there is a language no one can translate to, for example.

It may be a good idea to ping old translators, but I also think, we shouldn't bother them only because they have contributed to one project one (or two) years ago.

I found an interesting website which could help with translation. It is called Weblate.
I will check it out.
It is used by https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher

[pktiuk]

I configured it to work with this repo.

You can test it here: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/antimicrox/

Could you tell me what do you think about it?

@pktiuk Change the license to GPLv3-or-later (as opposed to -only) in
https://hosted.weblate.org/settings/antimicrox/gui/
https://hosted.weblate.org/settings/antimicrox/glossary
as per https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/search?q=any+later :)

YES! Please put Weblate (or Transifex or Crowdin, they similar) to practice as soon as possible... I can't advance in the translation due the cumbersomeness of it's technical way of the moment :/

Huh these are giving me "page not found" (???) Edit: i mean the supposedly created Weblate is giving that. Where is the project now? My oh my

[comradekingu]

@HeidiEnger Only available to admins of the AntiMicroX project on Hosted Weblate.
The project is locked now, but https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/antimicrox/ should work.
Crowdin and Transifex have bad usability, and sell your data.

Oh ok, but the "Start new translation" (button) does not work? And the other page (https://hosted.weblate.org/new-lang/antimicrox/gui/) gives "[Permission Denied] Insufficient privileges to display this page."

Now what?

[comradekingu]

@heidiwenger Currently the Weblate project isn't set up correctly, but it will be unlocked once that is fixed.
@pktiuk I can help if you add "kingu" in https://hosted.weblate.org/access/antimicrox/#users :)

[pktiuk]

I unlocked this and added Finnish based on file from @heidiwenger .

Everything should work now

[AHOHNMYC]

@pktiuk hello! I am trying to translate AntiMicroX and getting strange results. Some strings are non-translatable, others doubles and triples over translation, and some strings that have to be read-only (like keys or language names) are fills about ⅓ of all strings. Can we do something with this? ^^

[pktiuk]

@AHOHNMYC
I fixed this, it appeared to be a bit messed up weblate configuration.
Now everything should be translatable.

[AHOHNMYC]

@pktiuk оh! Great news :) Big thank you from me, other translators and, obviously, users!
