Close : Translation with linguist tools. about biblioteq HOT 42 CLOSED

it's okay you're a magician

from biblioteq.

You?

from biblioteq.

This is good I have in stock :-)

good sunday

from biblioteq.

You updated your distribution and put in a ticket against BiblioteQ?

from biblioteq.

what was my problem?

from biblioteq.

the problem encountered by me "difficult to reproduce"

from biblioteq.

I feel like I'm making my list to Santa Claus :-) with your request to get all the tickets going

so don't forget

• for me it's a voluntary hobby,
• for you it's probably a great passion to code.

Take my requests as ideas for the future that can give new features to BiblioteQ.
If they come true: so much the better, if it is not the case it is not a problem.

having a good time is the main thing in life

good end of day

from biblioteq.

complement
I took the sources from 2022-05-30 same problem.
with the sources of 2022-03-30 everything works fin

from biblioteq.

the problem concerns only the French language
if I make a modification on another language it is well taken into account.

from biblioteq.

lupdate biblioteq.pro
lrelease biblioteq.pro

from biblioteq.

I don't understand what's going on
I changed my LinuxMint 20.3 distribution to 21 so I reinstalled everything.

I can translate another language but French is impossible :-(

from biblioteq.

I can translate another language or dooble

from biblioteq.

I don't know what this means.

from biblioteq.

I'll keep looking

from biblioteq.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/linguist-manager.html

from biblioteq.

Translation files (system and ones provided by translators) are embedded into the application.

from biblioteq.

If you modify a QM file, you need to build BiblioteQ.

from biblioteq.

cat biblioteq_fr_FR.ts | grep Pauvre -> 0 result
cat biblioteq_fr_FR.ts | grep Fin -> 0 result

while BiblioteQ presents "Pauvre" as Condition of the books
while BiblioteQ presents "Fin" as Condition of the books
of course I recompile BQ
make clean ; make

it keeps the old translation without taking the new one?

from biblioteq.

A TS file is human-readable. You need to <release> it. Hence, lrelease.

from biblioteq.

Did you read Documentation/TRANSLATIONS?

from biblioteq.

Modifying the TS file will not automatically modify its QM counterpart. You cannot expect that your Linguist changes will magically appear in BQ.

from biblioteq.

I know how .ts -> .qm works usually no problem
with another language at the moment it works

from biblioteq.

Did this work before you upgraded your system?

from biblioteq.

I have done it dozens of times
still now it works for another language with BiblioteQ but French ... it keeps the old ones as if a cache was not updated

from biblioteq.

Are you modifying the correct file?

from biblioteq.

yes good file, the date is updated

can you please make the compilation with my file in the 1st mail and see if in French the condition is Fine or Correct

that will allow to know if it is my installation which does not function

from biblioteq.

from biblioteq.

What does qmake --version report?

from biblioteq.

QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.15.3 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

from biblioteq.

Perhaps Qt's base files are a problem.

from biblioteq.

I'm also at Qt 5.15.3.

from biblioteq.

in French the condition is Fin or Correct for a new book

from biblioteq.

make distclean
git pull
qmake -o Makefile biblioteq.pro
make
./biblioteq.sh

from biblioteq.

1. The base Qt translation file was not current. If so, this did not pose a problem on my system.
2. Your compilation did not utilize the most current QM file.
3. You were not executing the current version of BiblioteQ.
4. Your generated Makefile was generated using a qmake which is not the qmake you have now. That is, your Qt changed while the Makefile referenced an older Qt.

Some possibilities.

1. If the translations are functional before you upgrade your system, inspect your system.
2. If another person is not able to reproduce your problem, inspect your system.
3. Evaluate your behavior and environment before submitting a ticket.

from biblioteq.

The second #3 is perhaps the cause of all system failures.

from biblioteq.

thank you for all these explanations

the French was not in the update of May 16, 2022 : Qt 5.15.3 translation files.
So the file qtbase_fr.qm was weird because in the package version of 2022-05-30, the content was the translation of BiblioteQ and not the qtbase.
and since this date not too much translation until now so I didn't notice it.

Thanks again for solving the problem without you I would not have found it.

from biblioteq.

I think I understood my mistake

in the French translation archive ticket French Traduction
I included a "dumpling", the file qtbase_fr.qm. It is not the real qtbase_fr.qm file of the qt distribution but a simple copy of biblioteq_fr.qm (with name change to qtbase_fr.qm).
at the time I didn't know what was the purpose of the qtbase_en.qm file and took it for a component of BiblioteQ.

Sorry for the loss of your precious time.

from biblioteq.

I don't have a facepalm emoji, but if I did, I would attach it.

from biblioteq.

Can you please create a list of item that you'd like and create a ticket for them? Please do not include items that already exist. Be very descriptive. :)

from biblioteq.

what do you mean by a list of items?

from biblioteq.

You've had many, many requests. Create a list of remaining requests and put them into a ticket.
