Add translations for other languages

[rezemika]

Currently, only english and french are supported for rendering. It would be great if HOH support other languages. So, if there's any language that you would like to see HOH work with, please don't hesitate to create a pull request! :)

To add a new translation:

• add its locale name in AVAILABLE_LOCALES in rendering.py;
• go to the humanized_opening_hours folder;
• create a folder for you translation: mkdir -p locales/<LOCALE>/LC_MESSAGES (replace <LOCALE> with the name of the locale);
• create a new POT file with : xgettext -o locales/<LOCALE>/LC_MESSAGES/hoh.pot temporal_objects.py rendering.py;
• update this new file to add translations;
• compile it to a MO file with msgfmt -o locales/<LOCALE>/LC_MESSAGES/hoh.mo locales/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/hoh.pot;
• test the rendering of some fields with you new locale.

Thank you!

Hello, wanted to add a new translation for german.
Only got one problem: When i execute xgettext -o locales/de/LC_MESSAGES/hoh.pot temporal_objects.py rendering.py i'm getting this error:
xgettext: Ausgabedatei »locales/de/LC_MESSAGES/hoh.pot« kann nicht erstellt werden: No such file or directory

Oh, you're right, there's a mistake in my explanations. Can you try the same command from the humanized_opening_hours/humanized_opening_hours folder (the folder which actually contains the Python code)?

Thank you!

[fklement]

I tried it from there.

[rezemika]

Oh ok, so I was wrong concerning the xgettext command. Can you try a mkdir -p locales/de/LC_MESSAGES?

@rezemika exactly what I had to do, the directory must exist first

[fklement]

Ahh. Works!
Could have figured it out for myself.

[rezemika]

Okay, thank you! Sorry for the mistake.

[fklement]

No problem!
