How to install french version ?

[Jeux1d100]

Hello,

With the appimage, novelWriter is in french when i launch it.
I searched on my Linux Manjaro to install the package as AUR, and it works, but there is only British English as display language.
And, i don't understand how to get the french version, i see only the english one.
Version is the last one i think, 2.7.4.

I've searched but only found stuff about dictionary, not app language.

Thanks.

Sorry about the previous post. I missed the part about AUR.

The AUR package is not maintained by this project, and whoever made it clearly did not include the other languages. That's a shame, but there's nothing I can do to help. You will have to contact whoever made the package.

You could try to fix it manually though. Download the .whl file from the latest release here on GitHub, extract it (it's just an archive) and copy the translation file for French to wherever the AUR package installs novelWriter. You can find the extracted UI translations files here:

The reason this is not covered by the documentation is that you're not supposed to have to do this yourself. The packages should include all these files automatically, so it's a mistake of the person making the AUR package.

There is documentation on how to build these files manually from the source code though: https://novelwriter.io/docs/technical/source.html#building-the-translation-files
