About translations (how to update language files?)

[csanchez]

I have been translating (very slowly) PhotoLine to Spanish, I was doing it with the English version 23.02, however with the new version 23.50 as I expected it have changes and new text strings.
Although I consider that the language files are well organized, at the moment of making updates (based on the English language files) it is possibly a little complicated.
I wonder if you have a tool or something that covers this aspect?

In this sense, the easiest thing I have found for translations are the po/pot files (gettext?), which allow to update all languages based on the original, either new, deleted or updated strings, using poedit.



I have my Spanish translation (still in progress) but I don't want to continue until I can update the files with the current version.

I would suggest to use WinMerge.

I had a look on this, but sorry, I didn't understand how it works. I think it can handle po and Wordpress only.

If you have problems with WinMerge, send me your actual files and I will update them to version 23.50.

Yes, WinMerge is very good, however I have found Diffinity, which I like the way it highlights the differences. I find it much more comfortable than WinMerge.

Here is the link to try it if you like

Btw WinMerge uses the .po files for translations too heh.

Anyway changing the file format used for translations I guess can be complicated and is not really necessary.
But I think it would be good to have a tool that allows to update the translation files automatically.

If you have problems with WinMerge, send me your actual files and I will update them to version 23.50.

Please, you would really help me a lot that way.
Here is what I have of the translation so far, I plan to share it on the forum after it is much more complete too

I have not included the help file because at the moment I don't know how to modify/translate it, I guess the best thing to do is to ask here for the source of them, but anyway it is better to leave it in second place for the moment.

Here is the updated version of your files.

Thank you so much Gerhard

Ok, after a long time without touching the translation I took some time to continue it.
Updating the files to PhotoLine 24.00 I found some things.

These translation lines are commented with //, at least in English, is it an error?

//"19172" = "Angle:"; //IDS_ANGLE2

//"39072" = "Mirror Hor."; //IDS_FLIP_HOR
//"39073" = "Mirror Vert."; //IDS_FLIP_VER

The text "Save changes to" is not translatable yet
