did a google search but couldnt find a german version of Layerfx
there is a website that explains every feature of layerfx in german, but i would love to have a translated version

i just had a look at the script in my editor program, but was overwhelmed by all the entries - what parts do i need to translate into german and which not ?

EDIT: also, some of the entries are already translated into my language, i guess thats because my GIMP version is in german, but why is it, that only some of the words are translated

for example in the layermodes entry, only the mode color is translated into german - all the others are still in english...

guten Morgen

Just as an aside, it's helpful when making requests about specific scripts that you can point to a source for that script just so we avoid talking about different versions.

So I'm taking the GimpScripts Script-Fu version http://gimpscripts.com/2011/10/gimp-layer-effects/# as the example.

You'll find a number of script-fu-register blocks at the end of the file. These are where the user interface is defined. Here's an example:


Picking out one line in particular


You see that the string "Color" is prefixed with an underscore. This tells translators that this string can be translated. For scripts I don't know when this translation takes place, but you could start by inserting underscores before all these strings and seeing which ones already have translations.

I would expect words like Opacity and Noise to already have a translation. If this doesn't work and for the other strings, you can just change them to Deutsch yourself.

Taking part of another line from the code above:


You can force translation of the layer mode strings as well:-

Edit:
I've been rummaging around and found the source of the German translation file: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/p ... 49242b7644
Which tells me the German translation of Opacity is Deckkraft

Hallo Kevin !

apologies for not linking to a source, i didnt even think about it, as it was natural for me to download the layerfx script from the registry, will do it next time, promise
http://registry.gimp.org/node/186

the information you posted looks really helpful, i will see what i can do with it

thank you !

EDIT: im getting there, but now i have the problem that Gimp does not display german "Umlaute"
for example, i translated 'bevel & emboss' as 'Abschrägen & Prägen'
but the 'ä' doesnt turn up (and Gimp does display Umlaute in other entries)
so what it shows is 'Abschrgen & Prgen'
why is that ?

Your script file isn't formatted in UTF-8 coding.
I use pspad for that kind of job.
I see no way for an external (intl.dll) translation, because there is only one
translating file gimp20-script-fu.mo for all scripts, so you would have to
get all translatable strings from your script(s) with xgettext and then merge
the translations to gimp20-script-fu.mo.
But don't ask me how to do, I don't know...

i have no idea what you are talking about Onkel Hatti, minus the UTF-8 coding
im almost done - will post the translated script soon

Onkel Hatti is talking about the official way to get translations included, see the Wikipedia page for gettext: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettext

but that's only really practical for the scripts that come with the official GIMP distribution.
