Help and support

You are welcome to leave a comment in the forum if you have any questions or ideas.

Translations

It would be wonderful if the app could be translated in as many languages as possible!

Translations are managed using Weblate. Please prefer this over pull request (which are still welcome, of course). If you just found a minor problem, you can also leave a comment in the forum or open an issue.

Please include the following details:

1. the language you were using
2. where you found the error
3. the incorrect text
4. the correct translation

Manually updating translations

Please prefer using Weblate over this. You can follow these steps to manually add or update a translation:

1. If it did not exist before, create a new catalog for your language by copying the base file translations/harbour-meteoswiss.ts. Then add the new translation to harbour-meteoswiss.pro.
2. Add yourself to the list of contributors in qml/pages/AboutPage.qml.
3. (optional) Translate the app's name in harbour-meteoswiss.desktop if there is a (short) native term for it in your language.

See the Qt documentation for details on how to translate date formats to your local format.

Building and contributing

Bug reports, and contributions for translations, bug fixes, or new features are always welcome!

1. Clone the repository by running git clone https://github.com/ichthyosaurus/harbour-meteoswiss.git
2. Open harbour-meteoswiss.pro in Sailfish OS IDE (Qt Creator for Sailfish)
3. To run on emulator, select the i486 target and press the run button
4. To build for the device, select the armv7hl target and click “deploy all”; the RPM packages will be in the RPMS folder

If you contribute, please do not forget to add yourself to the list of contributors in qml/pages/AboutPage.qml!
