G'mic in other languages.(Solved)

jamac4k · **Posted:** Thu Jan 24, 2013 10:17 am **(#1)**

One user of Gimp.Org.Es ask me if there is a way to translate G'mic from english to spanish.

He is in the idea to translate it himself.

May be it possible?. And, ...How to?.

Thanks.

Yes, it is possible of course.
G'MIC doesn't use an usual translation file for this task, and translating the interface means modifying some code, but it is quite simple to do, once we get the idea.
Just to show how it works, here is translation code for the Catalan language :

Code: Select all

// Catalan translation
  if (!std::strcmp(get_locale(),"ca")) {
    if (!s) {
      static const char *const ns = "<b>No ha estat possible establir una connexi&#243; a Internet !</b>\n\n"
        "<i>No es possible arribar a aquestes fonts de filtres :</i>\n";
      return ns;
    }
    _t("G'MIC for GIMP","G'MIC per al GIMP");
    _t("<i>Select a filter...</i>","<i>Selecciona un filtre...</i>");
    _t("<i>No parameters to set...</i>","<i>Sense par\303\240metres...</i>");
    _t("<b> Input / Output : </b>","<b> Entrades / Sortides : </b>");
    _t("Input layers...","Capes d'entrada...");
    _t("None","Cap");
    _t("Active (default)","Actiu (predet.)");
    _t("All","Tots");
    _t("Active & below","L'activa i les de sota");
    _t("Active & above","L'activa i les de sobre");
    _t("All visibles","Totes les visibles");
    _t("All invisibles","Totes les invisibles");
    _t("All visibles (decr.)","Totes les visibles (decr.)");
    _t("All invisibles (decr.)","Totes les invisibles (decr.)");
    _t("All (decr.)","Totes (decr.)");
    _t("Output mode...","Mode de sortida...");
    _t("In place (default)","A la capa actual (predet.)");
    _t("New layer(s)","Nova/es capa/es");
    _t("New active layer(s)","Nova/es capa/es actius");
    _t("New image","Nova imatge");
    _t("Output preview...","Previsualitzaci\303\263 de sortida...");
    _t("1st output (default)","1era imatge (predet.)");
    _t("2nd output","2ona imatge");
    _t("3rd output","3era imatge");
    _t("4th output","4rta imatge");
    _t("1st -> 2nd","1era -> 2ona");
    _t("1st -> 3rd","1era -> 3era");
    _t("1st -> 4th","1era -> 4rta");
    _t("All outputs","Totes les imatges");
    _t("Output messages...","Missatges de sortida...");
   _t("Quiet (default)","Sense missatges (predet.)");
    _t("Verbose (console)","Verb\303\263s (consola)");
    _t("Verbose (logfile)","Verb\303\263s (arxiu)");
    _t("Very verbose (console)","Molt verb\303\263s (consola)");
    _t("Very verbose (logfile)","Molt verb\303\263s (arxiu)");
    _t("Debug mode (console)","Depuraci\303\263 (consola)");
    _t("Debug mode (logfile)","Depuraci\303\263 (arxiu)");
    _t(" Available filters (%u) :"," Filtres disponibles (%u) :");
    _t("_Maximize","_Maximitzar");
    _t("_Restore","_Restaurar");
    _t("Update","Actualitzaci\303\263");
    _t("Rename","Canviar");
  }

If you can send me the same piece of code with the Spanish translation instead, then I'll be able to add it to the plug-in.

In my translation does not work for Windows - I do not know why?

# Ronounours:

I'm working on it, but I don't know the correct idiom of Verbose. May be "very verbose" means "too much comments"?.

Thanks!!

@MareroQ : The translation is enabled when the corresponding locale of the system is found to be equal to the string put on the first line. Maybe your locale is not the same ?

EDIT : Looks like the translation feature in G'MIC is broken, so that may explain a lot of things

Trying to fix it as soon as possible.
EDIT2 : Found it ! Next release should work as expected.

@Jamac4k : For me, verbose simply means 'which print informations on the standard output', and 'Very verbose' means 'which print a lot of informations on the standard output'. But 'too much comments' has a negative meaning that is maybe not adapted here. Also, 'Verbose' is a very common term used in software and there are probably already some 'standard' translation available in Spanish for this term.

Thanks for the translation, I'm currently compiling the code to see if this is working as expected.

EDIT : Looks like it is working like a charm. Thanks Jamac4k !

Then, I think that the best term is:

"Detallado" instead "Redundante"

and

"Muy detallado" instead "Muy redundante".

Thanks!!

Got it. Thanks !

Forgive my ignorance about programming. If the translation works, What is the next step?, Should we wait for the new release?

Thanks!!

Yes, it will be able in the next release 1.5.4.0.

jamac4k · **Posted:** Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:15 pm **(#10)**

Thanks again.

I'll tell it to guy who requests the translation.

Edit the subject as solved.

I think translation for Linux works in all languages (when added to translation). The problem is for Windows - what language does it work?
In the GMIC 1.5.4.0 version, unfortunately Poland version not!
