[GCompris-devel] Translation of gcompris-qt

[JAZEIX Johnny]

Hello,

As I'm not sure I understand your problem, I'll write things hoping it 
solves it :-).

For the BuildTranslations target (the current one, not yet renamed), it 
calls the python script in tools/l10n-fetch-po-files.py. subversion 
needs to be installed to make it works. This target get the ".po" 
translations from the svn folder and put them in the {source_dir}/po. 
(you can manually get only your translation in 
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf5/).

If it is the first time you have run this target (meaning you didn't 
have the po/ folder with the translations when you ran cmake), you need 
to run another time cmake (because cmake needs to know which files it 
has to handle). Then, running UpdateTranslations will create the .qm 
files (which are compiled versions of the translations that we can load 
in the application) and put them in the {binary_dir}/share/translations/.
gcompris-qt will load these translations from this folder.

So :
$ccmake ../gcompris && make BuildTranslations will display:
Scanning dependencies of target BuildTranslations
Generating retrievePoFilesFromSvn
No data for af
...
Fetched bg (and performed 5 cleanups)
...

Files will be installed in ../gcompris/po/*.po

Then,
$ ccmake ../gcompris && make UpdateTranslations
Scanning dependencies of target UpdateTranslations
[  7%] Generating gcompris_hu.qm
[  7%] Generating gcompris_gl.qm
...

Files will be installed in ./share/gcompris-qt/translations/*qm.


gcompris will the first time try to load the correct language depending 
on the locale (if "C" it is english). You can change the language in the 
settings and the changes will appear at the next running of gcompris.

You only need to use the createLocale.sh script if your language is not 
in the KDE i18n and existed in the Gtk version.
It seems the Dutch translation is 100% 
(http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf5/po/gcompris_qt.po/).

Hope it helps.

Johnny
