Multilingual Orange - Githubissues

janezd commented 1 year ago

On macOS I modified an installed bundle:

renamed Orange to Orange-si; same for orangewidget and orangecanvas.
copied translated sources to Orange-si, orangewidget-si, orangecanvas-si

Now I can do either ln -s Orange-en Orange or ln -s Orange-si Orange (and the same for others) to switch between English and Slovenian.

Could this (where ln -s would of course happen within Orange settings) be a way to distribute multilingual Orange?
This would also work for Linux, I guess. What about Windows? In the worst case, we could simply rename.

Reminder: we would need a Slovenian distribution of Orange by mid-march.

Are translations back on the plan for the future? Compared to #5409

They absolutely are! See this: https://github.com/biolab/orange3/pull/6616.

We can easily publish Orange in Slovenian, but it is a separate release, which is annoying, and it also doesn't work well with add-ons. We now have a mechanism with which you can switch between languages, there's just a single nasty problem left to solve.

Why are you asking?
