Version 7 of Zren's i18n scripts.

With KDE Frameworks v5.37 and above, translations are bundled with the *.plasmoid file downloaded from the store.

Install Translations

Go to ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.win7showdesktop/translate/ and run sh ./build --restartplasma.

New Translations

1. Fill out template.pot with your translations then open a new issue, name the file spanish.txt, attach the txt file to the issue (drag and drop).

Or if you know how to make a pull request

1. Copy the template.pot file and name it your locale's code (Eg: en/de/fr) with the extension .po. Then fill out all the msgstr "".

Scripts

• sh ./merge will parse the i18n() calls in the *.qml files and write it to the template.pot file. Then it will merge any changes into the *.po language files.
• sh ./build will convert the *.po files to it's binary *.mo version and move it to contents/locale/... which will bundle the translations in the *.plasmoid without needing the user to manually install them.
• sh ./plasmoidlocaletest will run ./build then plasmoidviewer (part of plasma-sdk).
