| Summary | 0004733: Add the ability to test the translation from Crowdin in the FreeCAD interface on Windows OS | ||||
| Description | This feature exists in Linux, but when testing, I found that this does not work on Windows. On Linux, one needs to manually create the ~/.FreeCAD/translations directory and add the .qm files from crowdin in to it. Restart FC and the new translations should be available. We need to find the Windows equivalent. Discussion on them forum: Request 1+Windows tests Request 2 Request 3 | ||||

This function may also be required for translation into languages not yet added to FreeCAD. For example, the Bulgarian language is currently missing in the FreeCAD interface and one user tried to insert Bulgarian translation into Polish *.ts files, for see how the interface will look in Bulgarian. I don't know if something worked out for him, because he also seems to have Windows OS. |

@chennes can you weigh in on this if you have a moment? |

We basically need to find the Windows equivalent to ~/.FreeCAD/translations Maybe this is the start of the rabbit hole, https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linguist-programmers.html#deploying-translations ? Edit: updated the ticket summary |
|
|
I tested putting the Bulgarian *.qm files in $USER/AppData/Roaming/FreeCAD/translations and manually changing the language to Bulgarian, and I got no complaints from FreeCAD. I don't know Bulgarian so I'm not sure if it was actually displaying the correct language strings, though. |
|
|
It appears that this more-or-less already works, but I've submitted PR 5021 to improve the process for testing new languages and new language strings in FreeCAD. |

The PR has been merged and documented in the Wiki. There are now several ways to test translations on Windows. |
