GreenCloud Printer translations
Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 3:38 pm
Our new product is also available in several languages, but as we are using Delphi and Firemonkey framework there is a new tool to handle the translation.
Note for existing translators:
Now the template "gcprinter-default.po" is included with GreenCloud in locale folder.
Creating a new translation
- Download and install Virtaal translation tool
- Open the template "gcprinter-default.po" (in sub-folder "locale" within the installation folder) in Virtaal and translate it.
- Save your translation as "gcprinter.po" in the sub-folder "locale\[LANG]\LC_MESSAGES" (where [LANG] is your language code).
Example for French: C:\Program Files\ObviousIdea\GreenCloud\locale\fr\LC_MESSAGES
For dialects, [LANG] will consist of the language code, followed by an underscore, and then the country code. Example for Brazilian Portuguese: pt_BR
Testing your translation
- in Virtaal, select File > Export, and save as "gcprinter.mo" in the same LC_MESSAGES folder.
- if you print something to GreenCloud now, it should detect and let you select your language (see Settings).
Updating an existing translation
- open existing PO or MO file in Virtaal
- to navigate to untranslated parts only, set Navigation (on top left) to: Incomplete
Please email your language files (.PO and .MO) to contact [ @ ] obviousidea.com and it will be included in the next version of GreenCloud Printer.
If you have any questions or issues, please contact us by email or post it here.
