Localisation/sv

Lokalisering är i allmänhet den process som ger användargränssnittet i ett program flera språk. I FreeCAD så kan du ställa in användargränssnittets språk under Redigera?Alternativ?Allmänt. FreeCAD använder [Qt] för att aktivera flerspråkssupport. På Unix/Linux system så använder FreeCAD som standard de gällande locale-inställningarna för systemet.

Hjälpa till med att översätta FreeCAD
En av de mycket viktiga saker du kan göra för FreeCAD, om du inte är en programmerare, är att hjälpa till att översätta programmet till ditt språk. Det är nu lättare än någonsin att göra det då vi nu använder oss av Crowdin online översättningssystemet där man kan samarbeta med flera personer

Hur man översätter

 * Gå till FreeCADs projektsida för översättning på Crowdin;
 * Logga in genom att skapa en ny profil, eller genom att använda ett tredjepartskonto som t.ex din Gmail adress;
 * Klicka på det språk som du vill översätta;
 * Börja översätt genom att klicka på Translate knappen intill en av filerna. FreeCAD.ts innehåller till exempel textsträngarna för FreeCADs huvudgränssnitt.
 * Du kan rösta på existerande översättningar, eller så kan du skapa dina egna.

Notera: Om du deltar aktivt i översättningen av FreeCAD och vill bli informerad innan nästa utgåva är klar att släppas, so du får tid att granska din översättning, så prenumerera på  denna punkt: http://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=137

Förbereda dina egna moduler/applikationer för översättning
All of the above steps are performed by the "translation scripts" which are run by an administrator periodically.

Preparing your module for translation is quite easy. First, you need to ensure that you have a "translations" directory in myModule/Gui/Resources. Then open a terminal window (or Windows/OSX equivalent) in your "translations" directory and enter the following command:

This creates an empty translation file. Once this is done, you need to ensure that the translation scripts are updated as in this pull request.

Everything after this is automatic as far as a developer is concerned. The administrator will extract the text strings, the translators will translate them, then the administrator will extract the translations and update FreeCAD/master.

Automating Translation Updates
Currently FreeCAD uses the Crowdin API via Crowdin Scripts to pull and push translations in to Crowdin and back in to the Github repo.

Older module translation techniques
Localization Older Methods describes the use of translation tools such as Qt Linguist, lupdate, lrelease, pylupdate4, etc in detail. Most of this is no longer required for FreeCAD/master modules, but may be helpful preparing and updating 3rd party modules.

Översätta wikin
This wiki hosts a lot of contents, the majority of which build up the manual. You can browse the documentation starting from the Main Page, or have a look at the user's manual Online Help Toc.

To translate the wiki, you must have wiki edit permissions; see FAQ.

You should also have enough knowledge of wiki markup and follow the general styling guidelines described on WikiPages.

Translation extension
When the wiki moved away from SourceForge, Yorik installed MediaWiki's Translation extension which facilitates translating pages. Advantages of the translation extension are that the page title can now be translated, it keeps track of translations, it notifies if the original page has been updated, and it maintains translations in sync with the original English page.

The tool is documented in Help:Extension:Translate, and is part of MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle.

To quickly get started on preparing a page for translation, please read the Page translation example. Essentially, a pair of ... tags need to surround the entire page to activate the translation system, and the page needs to be marked for translation.

To see an example of how the translation tool works, visit the Main Page. You will see an automatically generated language bar at the top. Click on Deutsch (German), it will get you to Main Page/de. Right under the title, you can read "This page is a translated version of the page Main Page and the translation is XX% complete.", XX being the actual percentage of translation. Click on "Translate" at the top of the page to start the translation utility to update, correct and review the existing translation.

If you go to Main Page/de, you will notice that you cannot edit the page directly anymore by clicking the [Edit] tags, and the top link "Edit" has been substituted by the "Translate" link that opens the translation utility.

When adding new content, the English page should be created first, then translated into another language. If someone wants to change or add content in a page, the English page should be modified first.

Om du är osäker på hur du ska fortsätta, tveka inte att be om hjälp på forumet.

Important notes
Every wiki user that has "Editor" permissions is able to launch the translate utility and write, save, and review translations.

However, only users with "Administrator" permissions are able to mark pages for translation. A page that is not marked for translation won't make use of the translation extension and won't be correctly synchronized to the English information.

The left sidebar is also translatable, but only Administrators can modify this element of the site. Please follow the dedicated instructions on Localisation Sidebar.

The first time you switch a page to the new translation system, it loses all its old "manual" translations. To recover a translation, you should save an offline copy of the old text before the switch. Then you can use this old translated text to fill in the translation units in the new system. You can also open an earlier version from the history, and get the old text in this way. This has to be done for every language that had a translated page.
