Thank you scootergrisen, updated! Can I ask for your real name to add to the translator list? This is not required but preferred.

Regarding necessary Qt translations, what is needed is the translations for parts of Qt which are visible in VirtualBox. Currently the three most important contexts are QPlatformTheme, QShortcut, QWizard. I'm afraid I don't have an exact overview of what else is needed - perhaps one of the other translators does?

Hello Manuela, thank you for your contribution! Could you please add a comment saying that you release your work under the MIT licence, as described on the wiki page?

[Manuela Silva]

Hi,

How to unlock the blocked strings on Qt software?

I need to update some of the translations.

Thank you

mansil

[scootergrisen]

Replying to michael:

Thank you scootergrisen, updated! Can I ask for your real name to add to the translator list? This is not required but preferred.

I only want to have "scootergrisen" like it is now.

Suggest having only 1 name/ticket/link per line in maintainer and legal status so its a bit easier to read the table.

[Michael Thayer]

@mansil: sorry for the slow answer. Haven't used Linguist for a while (I mainly look at the files directly), but I think that the blocked strings are old ones which are no longer needed, but kept as reminders in case you have to translate something similar in the future.

[Michael Thayer]

@mansil: Manuela, could you please add a line that we can use your translation under the terms of the MIT licence? Thank you!

[Burak Yavuz]

Hello michael,

This time in new version 6.0, will there be these missing untranslated strings? And also multilanguage support for installer?

• Dropping data
• saving the machine state
• saving the execution state of the virtual machine ...
• restoring virtual machine
• merging differencing image '%1'
• taking snapshot of the virtual machine state
• Cloning Disk '%1'
• Cloning Machine
• Importing appliance '%1'
• Importing virtual disk image '%1'
• Hard disk '%1' has more than one child hard disk (%2)
• Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found!
• Because the USB 2.0 controller state is part of the saved VM state, the VM cannot be started. To fix this problem, either install the '%1' or disable USB 2.0 support in the VM settings (VERR_NOT_FOUND).

[Michael Thayer]

I don't think anything has changed regarding untranslatable strings, but I can pass on the question. I thought the Windows installer already had multi-language support, but since you contributed one of the language files there you probably know more than me. Could you explain?

[Burak Yavuz]

I submitted language file for virtualbox installer many years ago. But the installer is always working in english in turkish systems. So I thought still there is no multilanguage support for installer.

Edit: I have looked old ticket page. I had sent installer language file on 13.10.2012. Since that day, Virualbox installer never worked as Turkish. Are other languages OK?

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you for the new translation, I have updated it. I will ask the person in charge of the installer when he is around.

[Burak Yavuz]

Thank you michael.

[Burak Yavuz]

Hi michael,

Installer is OK with turkish language. But there is/are missing string(s). So I downloaded latest english file to complete missing lines and update some. en_US.wxl was updated 14 months ago. So turkish language is much more old. Also there are differences between files with String IDs. I will update then send it here.

[Burak Yavuz]

Dear michael,

I have completed installer language file. Could you send to person in charge of the installer to put inside to the next version so I will check again?

Also I noticed there are two missing strings for installer. "Status" and "Version"

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Burak, updated. Updated Windows test builds should be available in 45 minutes or so.

[Burak Yavuz]

michael, new updated VirtualBox_tr.ts turkish language file does not contain my latest translations. Could you apply new string updates to my latest sent file and replace it?

[Michael Thayer]

Burak, I have updated it again (not yet the test builds though). Sorry about that.

[xavivars]

We are a few people translating VirtualBox into Catalan (Pau Iranzo is the current maintainer). And we were using Transifex as an online platform to do so: we just created a project for "VirtualBox CAT". Transifex has a pretty cool feature, so every time the source (English) file gets updated, it downloads the new version, and missing strings appear as untranslated. Having an "online" platform allows us to engage more people into VirtualBox i18n, so it's a win-win.

Sadly, latest versions of VirtualBox_xx_YY.ts can't be ingested by Transifex, as they are "invalid" English .ts files.

As an example, this entry:

<message numerus="yes">
    <source>%n machine(s)</source>
    <comment>Group item tool-tip / Machine info</comment>
    <translation type="unfinished">
        <numerusform></numerusform>
    </translation>
</message>

it complains because English .ts files should have 2 plural forms, so it should be instead

<message numerus="yes">
    <source>%n machine(s)</source>
    <comment>Group item tool-tip / Machine info</comment>
    <translation type="unfinished">
        <numerusform></numerusform><numerusform></numerusform>
    </translation>
</message>

If this could be fixed, we would be able to automatically ingest these files, and be aware when there are changes.

Is this something you guys can do upstream?

[Pau Iranzo]

Hi, I validate xavivars translation for Catalan language. Could you please add him as the main responsible for the Catalan translation ? Thanks!

[Michael Thayer]

@xavivars Could you please add a statement that you release your changes under the MIT licence? And tell me what name I should add to the list of translators? Thank you! By the way, the _xx_YY files are just templates for adding new languages, so you probably should not be importing them.

@LeeChenhwa Normally there should be no need to update the 5.2 translations, unless new text is added there which is not in 6.0 (or unless you want to change text which is in 5.2 but not in 6.0). When new translations are added to 6.0, they will also be added to any future 5.2 releases, bar if I mess something up during release.

Thank you David, Vincenzo, Lee, Benjamin, Xavi (I assume) and Pau for the updates!

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Burak, updated!

[xavivars]

Hi @michael,

The Catalan translation I uploaded is released under MIT license terms.

Regarding the other topic (_xx-YY file), I know it's only meant to be used as a template for new languages, but (sadly) the way Transifex works, it's the only way to use the platform to translate and have the new strings to appear. You just need to add the template file as the source where to auto update, stating the source is English. But current _xx-YY is not a valid "English" file (because of the plurals I mentioned).

In any case, I'll manage to workaround it if can't be changed.

And, last but not least, my name is Xavi Ivars.

Thanks!

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Xavi!

The change you described, adding the additional numerus blocks to the xx_YY files, is not simple, because the files are updated by Qt Linguist's lupdate, which removes them again. I wonder whether this is some bug in Transifex which does not accept files which Linguist likes?
