i18n: Translation Thread (ongoing) #159

m3nu · 2019-01-22T01:18:32Z

This thread is to coordinate the actual translation work. So far working on translations:

German: @ThomasWaldmann and @Hofer-Julian
Italian: @brokenpip3
French: @dbrassard and @lapineige
Dutch: Heimen Stoffels
Czech: Pavel Borecki
Polish: Tomasz Kontusz, @ktosiek
Galician: Miguel Anxo Bouzada, Transifex profile

(let me know your Github and Transifex username to be added her)

Translations are organized on Transifex (TF) and then pulled into the source code, when 90+% complete. More details regarding translations are collected here: https://vorta.borgbase.com/contributing/translations/

Last, we should mention translators somewhere in the credits or the README. There will also be new strings added over time, as we're still adding features. So it's an ongoing commitment.

You can also use my GitHub handle

I am /u/dbrass from Reddit

ThomasWaldmann · 2019-01-22T02:51:13Z

There could be also a more general "CONTRIBUTORS" file, where everybody who contributed something (to code, to docs, to i18n, ...) can get added.

ThomasWaldmann · 2019-01-22T02:55:10Z

BTW, i noticed that transifex or the qt tools seem to just kill strings that do not completely match any more (or did I miss something?). So having the *.ts files in git is useful to c&p longer translated phrases and then just edit them as needed.

m3nu · 2019-01-22T03:13:56Z

Sometimes these services have a "translation memory". Even if the string was removed, it may suggest the removed translation for a similar string in the future. But yes, good to look it up on Github sometimes.

(Added GH handle for @dbrassard )

Those strings stay in "translation memory" and you can find them via Suggestions. I just played with replacing three dots with an ellipsis, but reverted back due to unicode-issues and your translations were still there.

ThomasWaldmann · 2019-01-22T11:34:09Z

You had an exact match in that case.

What I meant are fuzzy matches - did these work for you also?

m3nu · 2019-01-22T11:49:31Z

Yes. Then it just gives you a e.g. 90% match and ranks it by match. So for each new string you get similar past matches.

I refactored many strings today and it was very helpful to keep the German translation updated.

m3nu · 2019-01-23T02:29:49Z

Added everyone who asked to join to the translation group. Short intro here. But probably better to keep most discussion on Github.

Let me know how it goes, @dbrassard @brokenpip3. No tools are required to enter translations, but testing them needs Qt and the Transifex CLI, as described in CONTRIBUTING.md > Translations.

dbrassard · 2019-01-23T03:36:36Z

For strings with punctuation marks, should the translated text keep those?
eg. "Repository Path:"

Also, the section "Data Flow to/from Transifex" is unclear to me.

Finally, is there resources highlighting the proper workflow for Transifex? I can go on the website and translate strings but I need to test them in the final application. I installed the qt5 dev tools but I will still need some pointers (consider that I'm not a software developer).

m3nu · 2019-01-23T04:50:04Z

For strings with punctuation marks, should the translated text keep those?
eg. "Repository Path:"

Yes. Please keep all the punctuation marks including ..., : and .

m3nu · 2019-01-23T04:57:52Z

I need to test them in the final application. I installed the qt5 dev tools but I will still need some pointers (consider that I'm not a software developer).

There are a few ways to do this. Easiest is maybe:

download .ts file from Transifex
put it in src/vorta/i18n/ts
run make translations-to-qm
run vorta command

This assumes you already have Vorta installled as dev setup (editable installation from git). If not and you need further steps, let me know.

brokenpip3 · 2019-01-23T22:40:43Z

Italian translation started.. give me a few days

m3nu · 2019-02-01T00:37:03Z

How are translations coming along? I see about half completed on Transifex. Good progress!

I was planning the next release when languages are done. Would be a few bug fixes and languages mostly.

brokenpip3 · 2019-02-03T14:57:28Z

How are translations coming along? I see about half completed on Transifex. Good progress!

I'm near to finish (85%) it but i must review some choice.
I work on this a little time most days. I hope to finish the translations very soon.

m3nu · 2019-02-12T04:04:54Z

Just saw that Italian is now complete. Will we release French at the same time?

dbrassard · 2019-02-12T14:22:22Z

It is getting along. I'll have time to do some more translation today. Some strings just give me a bit of trouble :
"nyx2.local-2018-11-16T09:49:58 from November 16, 2018".

I will also need to test out the translation as I just used the Transifex interface until now.

Do we need to validate/revise each translation in the Transifex interface?

m3nu · 2019-02-12T14:38:05Z

"nyx2.local-2018-11-16T09:49:58 from November 16, 2018".

Looks like a placeholder. Either copy it or ignore and I'll remove it later.

The way you did it is fine. Just do "Save Changes". We don't use the review feature for now.

dbrassard · 2019-02-12T20:20:54Z

I finished the french translation today but I will need to test it in the application to spot mistakes.

This assumes you already have Vorta installled as dev setup (editable installation from git). If not and you need further steps, let me know.

I know how to pull a repository from git and push modifications but that's about it. What are the commands to build and install Vorta in dev mode? Do I need to rebuild the application completely when I switch the language file? It seems as I can modify the language of an already compiled program with the \. make translations-to-qmcomand.

P.S. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04

ThomasWaldmann · 2019-02-12T21:12:29Z

@dbrassard have a look in the vorta docs.

https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

m3nu · 2019-02-13T07:59:01Z

This is amazing. I can't judge the actual translation, but it's fascinating that it works as expected. Your translations are already in the master-branch, which should make testing easier. I can also make some screenshots for you if that's quicker. In theory the steps are like this:

Checkout latest master branch or clone repo. $ git clone https://github.com/borgbase/vorta
Go to vorta root folder and run $ make translations-to-qm to compile translations.
Install editable version of Vorta: $ pip install -e .
Run Vorta with $ vorta. If you want to use a different language, use $ LANG=it vorta

Some screenshots of the first tab and system tray menu:

brokenpip3 · 2019-02-13T10:31:34Z

Yesterday night i tried my translation, i found one error and 2-3 string to replace for better "standard word pick".
Today i replace them asap

brokenpip3 · 2019-02-14T19:58:00Z

Ok fixed (i hope). (y)

m3nu · 2019-02-20T09:31:18Z

The new translations are now live as version 0.6.10. Please make sure it all shows correctly.

I'll pull new translations from Transifex before every release from now on, in case something needs changing.

m3nu · 2019-03-06T02:06:26Z

I'll soon add the latest translations for the next release. There are a few new strings that cover the new "Pass extra arguments to Borg" and "Improve compression options" functionality.

I already added translations for German. Maybe you guys can update FR and IT. @brokenpip3 @dbrassard 🙌🙌

I'm very sorry, i translated the new string the day after your post this message but forgot to reply here.

m3nu · 2019-03-20T01:55:49Z

No problem. I pulled all available translations for the release. So if they were on Transifex they should be included.

m3nu · 2020-06-30T13:22:37Z

Pinging @lapineige for French translation. Please join the Transifex group first and see here for other details: https://vorta.borgbase.com/contributing/translations/

lapineige · 2020-06-30T13:44:16Z

Request to join sent :)

m3nu · 2020-06-30T15:00:41Z

Request to join sent :)

Already confirmed. 👍

lapineige · 2020-06-30T15:06:52Z

Already (almost) completely translated :)

m3nu · 2020-07-05T01:07:13Z

Added new Dutch translation and updated French translation.

ktosiek · 2020-09-03T18:39:14Z

Hi! I'd like to start a Polish translation. I am a native speaker. My Transifex login is tomasz.kontusz.

ktosiek · 2020-09-03T18:48:10Z

And a quick question to other translators: are there other translated borg frontends? Borg itself seems to not support translations at the moment, and BorgWeb only has a few words in French.

m3nu · 2020-09-04T00:13:03Z

Thanks for the offer, @ktosiek. I've added Polish on Transifex with you as first translator.

Let me know when done and we'll pull the files into Git, so Qt will load them.

m3nu · 2020-09-18T23:56:40Z

Added you for Finnish, @teemue. 👍

m3nu · 2020-10-16T15:54:30Z

Added Galician. Thanks to Miguel Anxo Bouzada 🙏

m3nu · 2021-01-31T11:00:44Z

As suggested in #774 by @Hofer-Julian, we will announce a "string freeze" here about 1-2 weeks before the next release. To give all translators enough time to add new strings on Transifex.
