CloudCompare forum

What version of Qt (Linguist) are you using? It works on my side.

And which ts file have you duplicated?

Hello,
I would like to change the language from English to french. I follow the links, but I don't understand how to change it. Could you help me step by step. Do I have to download QT first? I didn't find the download link.
Thank you.

Just click on the 'Display > Language translation > Français' menu.

Mind that the translation is only partial though...

Hi This is YH of LGS Korea.

I would like to Localize a Chinese version,

I Found the ts files for translation here:
CloudCompare/qCC/translations at master · CloudCompare/CloudCompare
https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCo ... anslations

and a simple version of Qt Linguist which is small (13.1MB only, no need to install the whole Qt development bundle) and up to date(Released within a month)
Releases · thurask/Qt-Linguist
https://github.com/thurask/Qt-Linguist/releases

I test some simple phrase translations in the MainWindow translation context and release to qm file successfully, then copy to translations folder next to CloudCompare.exe and restart CloudCompare, but can't find new entry appear under menu "Display->Language Translation",

Something more I need to do to activate my translation ?

edit 2021.01.02:
I try Override some other translation with the same file name, and it works, the CloudCompare GUI is updated with my translation,
OK, I'll go this way, after translate some more phrases ( at least the MainWindow menu and toolbar ), I'll request a merge on Github.

Kind a slow, but finally, I request a merge on GitHub minutes ago.

I run in nearly the same problem too. I downloaded the french .ts file, opend it by a text editor and afterwards it works.

If you are interested in, we can work together with the translation. I still have a GitHub account, so we can upload the file easily.

Is there still a blank template for translation?

I'm in the last steps and control of the german translation. There is still less work necessary. I hope, the the result will be uplaoded to GitHub next week.

The German translation for the current version has been finished. The translation Strings for the next release of CC has been rolled out and are ready for the translation work.

Hi daniel,

I just download the 7z format latest alpha version of CloudCompare;
I see the "CloudCompare_chs.qm" file in translations folder, but Chinese language entry is missing from the 'Display > Language translation >',
Please check out.

Ah, indeed! It's because the country symbol is not the right one. It should be 'zh' and not 'chs'!

I'll fix that. Meanwhile, you can simply rename the 'CloudCompare_chs.qm' file by 'CloudCompare_zh.qm'.
