Missing Strings in .po-files #90

Open mfausin opened 5 years ago

mfausin commented 5 years ago

Hello,

first of all I want to say its a very great work, thanks a lot! I was searching really long to find such a great solution!

Installing was very simple, i can take photos and print them. Now I want to edit the text, i.e. "Drück den Knopf!". I tried to edit the language file .../photobooth/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/photobooth.po but it has no effect wenn I restart the Photo Booth, it always show me the original German text.

What else I have to edit? Or did I something wrong?

You will have to compile .mo-files from the .po-files. For that I am using Babel and have included the respective commands into setuptools. Read the Babel documentation on how to proceed.

Thanks a lot!

it took some time to understand how it works, but now it works fine!

Just a hint: I found a "string" which is not in the .pot or .po files. I edit the Frames.py and extract a new .pot-file (Babel is a very great tool ;) )

#: photobooth/gui/Qt5Gui/Frames.py:151        
msgid "Taking a photo..."        
msgstr ""

But I just cannot find a messageID for the "Print"-Button at the PostprocessMessage. There ist no msgid in the .po-file and I have no idea where I can find it in the GUI-code. Can you please tell me where I can find it?

Its not a big thing. I think everybody understand the English word "Print", but then it would be complete.

Yes, you are absolutely right. The file affected is photobooth/gui/GuiPostprocessor.py.
