| 1 # Updating language files for the Octave GUI | |
| 2 | |
| 3 ## Why updating and when? | |
| 4 | |
| 5 Before a new release of Octave, the language files `libgui/languages/*.ts` have to be updated with changed or new strings in the source files in order to add translations aferwards. | |
| 6 | |
| 7 ## How to update the files | |
| 8 | |
| 9 The update is carried out by the Qt-tool `lupdate` which collect strings in source files found in the search path(s) provided as input argument to `lupdate`. The tool `lupdate`is called from the script | |
| 10 | |
| 11 - `libgui/languages/build_ts/update_ts_files` | |
| 12 | |
| 13 which also determines the required search paths for each language. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Besides source folders within `libgui`, the search path is extended by some qt and qsci files, collected in `libgui/build_ts/octave-qt` and `libgui/build_ts/octave-qsci` respectively, whenever there are no translation files for the language from Qt or QsciScintilla. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 The Following steps are required in order to update the language files `libgui/languages/*.ts`: | |
| 18 | |
| 19 1. Change into `libgui/languages` | |
| 20 2. Start the update by calling `build_ts/update_ts_files` | |
| 21 3. Select the language files that should be updated | |
