i18n: add zh_CN translation #1922

BLumia · 2021-07-19T16:12:02Z

Short description of changes

Add zh_CN translation

Context: Fixes an issue?

Not a bugfix patch.

Does this change need documentation? What needs to be documented and how?

No.

Status of this Pull Request

Most of the zh_CN translations are done, some of them still need to work but I suggest merge this patch first. I might still need some time to understand some of its features and some other translation strings may need to be changed (I'll open a new issue or PR for that once I'm ready)

What is missing until this pull request can be merged?

Waiting on second review; Add BLumia to translators in util file;

Hi, thank you! Adding new languages is always great! Finally a non European language ;-).

Tagging @softins here (he knows the translation process well). Be prepared to get some more information on the translation process soon.

Actually, I think we don’t have a non technical translator onboarding for the app…

So just some quick notes here:

Usually we do a translation sprint before each new release. During normal development time, feel free to contribute translations, however strings might change. Once the release process is at a specific stage, we’ll freeze the GUI so that new translations are avoided if possible. After this point, translators can start their work
If you plan to contribute for a longer time, we‘ll add you to the jamulussoftware/translators GitHub role (not sure when someone is added/deleted, how much we rely on reputation etc. that‘s probably a team decision)
If you’re added to this group, you will also get access to a translators chat for exchange with other translators

Not sure if I missed something. I‘d suggest you to open a GitHub discussion if you plan to contribute more (=Tell the community that you’re a new translator). Maybe someone else can also help out with Chinese?

Just from a personal perspective: can you check if the GUI is OK after the translation? Non ASCII letters aren’t that common in the app yet.

Totally understand, and feel free to tag me when you need to update the zh_CN translation :)

I'd love to, thanks.

Will do that later.

Yeah, it's okay. I got the program compiled on my Windows installation with my MSYS2/MinGW64 environment and it works fine :)

Thanks! That seems like a lot of work. See my comments. They're not all addressed to you ;-).

Issue in English: there's a space too much.

While working on the translation, I found there are also some other issues in the original translation strings, I will discuss them in separated issue or PR after this one get merged :)

Yes. Thanks. Would be great.

I think you don't need to translate Development Team, but that's fully up to you.

If the whole "The Jamulus Development Team" is a trademark or something, I think I would avoid translate Development Team as 开发团队, if not, I recommend to translate it :)

This one should be translated before a merge since it's prominent on the mixing board.

I think this (and all the other translations which have vanished) don't need a translation?

Yes, I actually did the translation by editing the italian ts file and generate qm file use the linguist application and then I realized Jamulus did embed the qm files to resource file instead distribute qm files inside the translation folder. Then I cloned the full source, added the ts and qm file that I already translated, then run lrelease and reworked some translation and compile it manually. The vanished strings are the ones I did translated before I get compile the program by myself.

Tagging @gilgongo here. I doubt this error message is user friendly... Should we open an issue on that?

Seems like we should re-write that. Wonder what it refers to?

Probably if the directory rejects the server to register with it?

Thanks. Need to test/compile it locally on Debian before another review round ;-).

Before this can get merged, we need:

a proposal for the change log entry (Something like Translation: Added Chinese translation)
… to add you to the utils file
… another approving review

ann0see

Translator listed in the src/util.cpp optionally add link to PR or code
Looks consistent
Passes tools/check-wininstaller-translations.sh (No Chinese translation for installer)

Tagging @softins here (he knows the translation process well). Be prepared to get some more information on the translation process soon.

Mainly that I wrote up the translation workflow for Github and Qt Linguist here. I expect @BLumia has already studied it. :)

softins · 2021-07-22T15:32:13Z

I got the program compiled on my Windows installation with my MSYS2/MinGW64 environment and it works fine :)

@BLumia, I'm interested in your compilation workflow with MSYS2/MinGW64. I used the MinGW environment for compiling on Windows about 8 years ago when contributing to MuseScore (which also uses Qt), but I haven't used it since then. Please could you send a few notes on it? Thanks!

softins

I have done a check for duplicated accelerator keys and found five instances, which I have flagged. Everything else looks fine (although I have no idea about the Chinese!)

With MSYS2 it's actually quite easy to compile it. I got mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 (not the static one) and mingw-w64-x86_64-qt-creator installed and compile it just inside QtCreator, then I saw it says it's missing ASIO headers, then I downloaded ASIO SDK from here and placed them into windows\ASIOSDK2\, then it compiles without any other issue :)

MuseScore might need a lot of other build depts so it might be more complex than compile Jamulus, I haven't tried to compile MuseScore, though. BTW I use MSYS2 to compile a lot of my own stuff and I already got some other libs installed from MSYS2 repo while doing that, so I'm not sure if Jamulus need any additional depts other than Qt and ASIO SDK that I already installed before.
