Recently, I have been taking a closer look at how to translate my addon FamilyTreeView (FTV, see the original announcement thread and (since it was split due to length) the current thread , as well as the Github repository ). Thanks to everyone who gave me insights and pointed me to other resources on…

I will definately translate to danish

@emyoulation Do you know someone who can give some feedback on the process (1. through 4.)? If not, do you think it would be okay to just try and error? (I’m somewhat optimistic that there won’t be any major pitfalls. In any case, since FTV is beta, no one should expect every new version to be wi…

Kaj @kmikkels would be an excellent person to work with when beginning the translation journey. He just finished his own translation experiments while writing the Historical Context addon gramplet, has been a translator for the main Gramps application for quite a while, and has been giving great fee…

[image] emyoulation: @Nick-Hall has created a Weblate project for that repository. Weblate is currently set up to translate the v6.0 addons.

[image] Nick-Hall: Weblate is currently set up to translate the v6.0 addons. Ah. Well it is probably better to beta FTV in the the 6.0 branch anyway. @ztlxltl can use the smaller group to see if publishing to the “official” repository process is livable. Or if keeping FTV in its own GitHub …

[image] emyoulation: publishing FTV as an experimental gramplet in the 5.2 addons-source repository I think I’ll keep FTV in a separate repo for a few more weeks/months until it reaches a mature enough state. This will most likely happen after 6.0 is released, so the switch to the new Gramps …

[image] ztlxltl: I expect the review of the PR to take some time (currently over 11000 lines in *.py files, including comments and empty lines). You can submit your addon for inclusion in the third-party addons repository at any time. The review should be fairly quick. If an addon doesn’t w…

[image] Nick-Hall: If an addon doesn’t write to the database It will write to the database as I plan to add the “Add relative” feature to create new people/families. But if only those parts are reviewed, it will only be a small part of the whole addon code.

[image] ztlxltl: Maybe the script also needs to be updated. I’ve been thinking something similar. @Nick-Hall Perhaps it could be adapted to a (developer/debug mode) bootstrapping tool that builds/freshens the .pot and .po files for a selected addon? So that developers and translators have he…

[image] emyoulation: Perhaps it could be adapted to a (developer/debug mode) bootstrapping tool that builds/freshens the .pot and .po files for a selected addon? I have added two new commands to the make.py script: python make.py gramps60 aggreagte-pot This aggregates the template.pot files…
