Localizations for FieldWorks

The authoritative list of supported languages is maintained at https://crowdin.com/project/fieldworks/settings#translations. To add a new language, you will also need to update the following locations in the FieldWorks repository (https://github.com/sillsdev/fieldworks):

• Build/Installer.targets (CopyFilesToInstall, HarvestAllL10ns)

• FLExInstaller/CustomComponents.wxi (multiple places)

• FLExInstaller/CustomFeatures.wxi

• ¿Others?

  1. A search for “zh” in fwrepo/fw/Build and fwrepo/fw/FLExInstaller should reveal all of these lists
  2. In other places, we build the list dynamically using something like <LocaleDirs Include="$([System.IO.Directory]::GetDirectories(&quot;$(L10nsDirectory)&quot;))"/> (these do not need to be updated)

• Linux localization package specifications need regenerated for new localizations to be shipped:

  1. Checkout the latest localization files.

      cd ~/fwrepo/fw/Localizations
      git fetch
      git checkout origin/develop
     

  2. Generate l10n package specifications.

      cd ~/fwrepo/debian
      git fetch
      git checkout origin/release/9.0 # Or similar release branch.
      ./generate-l10n-control-entries ../fw
     

  3. Merge in changes, and push the result.

      meld control-l10n control
     

Removing or adding strings

If you remove strings from FieldWorks you will need to get your system ready to run the uploadUpdatesForTranslation build target.

1. Make sure that you have liblcm cloned locally, checked out to the right branch, and specified in your LibraryDevelopment.properties file.
2. Set the CROWDIN_API_KEY to the version 1 Api key for the FieldWorks crowdin project.
3. build /t:uploadUpdatesForTranslation
