Wrong language in Pi Wizard.... #199

Closed Tzarls closed 4 years ago

Tzarls commented 4 years ago

...well, kind of. When building a custom image using Pi Gen and setting the default language and locale to spanish and Latin America, at first boot the system shows the correct language in its menus, but the Pi Wizard is still in English. Looking at the code there seems to be no actual translation for it, but here:

https://projects.raspberrypi.org/es-ES/projects/raspberry-pi-getting-started/4 piwiz2

There appears to be a spanish version of the Wizard. I'd like to have a startup experience as local as possible and having this first time configuration tool in english can be difficult for non english speakers. So, is there a version of the Wizard with translations or will I have to change the code for this?

spl237 commented 4 years ago

There are no translation files at all for the wizard - it will only work in English, and we rely on members of the community to submit translation files. The image above has been faked by the team who created the webpage - there is no Spanish translation available for the wizard, and there won't be until someone who speaks Spanish submits one...

The wizard code is already prepared for localisation - the only thing that is missing is the translation files.

Tzarls commented 4 years ago

Translation should be done by creating a .po file with translated strings and locale identifiers, right? Since the wizard's repository is not public, where should we submit the translation? Here?

spl237 commented 4 years ago

I've made the piwiz repo public - please add the relevant po file to the po subdirectory there.

Tzarls commented 4 years ago

In line 193 of the default po file it says:

msgid "Error creating watch\n"

Whats is "watch" in this context? I need to know this for the translation (which I'm working right now).

spl237 commented 4 years ago

It's setting a watch on a GIO channel; something which issues a callback when a condition is met on a channel - see https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-IO-Channels.html#g-io-add-watch

Ok, translation is ready. I had no write privilege for the subdirectory so I created a pull request. I hope that's ok.
