Linguist, customize translations with ease

clarkwinkelmann

Rejoice ! The Linguist extension is now compatible with beta 9 and 10, thanks to the sponsorship of Glowingblue!

It still works exactly the same as before, and has been moved to FriendsOfFlarum.

Now after editing translations, Linguist will offer you the opportunity to clear the forum cache. For performance reasons, Linguist won't attempt to clear the cache by itself.

Translations for French and German have been removed (see this discussion for the reasons), language pack maintainers can copy them from the previous release to integrate them into their packs.

Updating from Flagrow

This extension replaces Flagrow Linguist.

To upgrade from the old extension to the new one:

Disable the Linguist extension in the admin panel.
Run:

composer require fof/linguist

Composer should let you know that flagrow/linguist has been automatically removed.

Enable the new extension in the admin panel.
Your existing translations will be migrated to FoF Linguist automatically.
Edit a translation or clear the cache to apply the existing translations to the forum.

Excellent extension. Any plans to add an option "show missing translations in"?

Veriael

phloo You can already do that. Just check the extension, and then language you are looking for missing translations in, tab "without original translations in".

clarkwinkelmann

I think there is indeed no way to show only non-customized strings.

As Veriael says there's a filter for strings that no extensions provide in a language.

And there's also a filter to show only what you translated. But there isn't the opposite of this one.

If the number of strings is low, you could use the "without original translations in ..." filter and just scroll through to see which ones are not translated. But I understand this can be challenging with many translations.

Either we could add a "without custom translation" filter, or a more precise "without custom translation in ... language".

Did I understand correctly ?

If so, can you please open a GitHub issue ? I'll add the filter next time I work on an update.

phloo

Hmm, I think you misunderstood what I mean. When I do what you say, I will see my custom translations I've already inserted. But what I was saying/asking for

show all empty (=missing) translations for a certain language

Veriael

phloo Well, I'm pretty sure what I said does what you wanted. Let's say you use German language pack, and want to see all missing translations for extension "X". You will need to choose extension X, check "without original translation in German". Now it shows all missing translations that are not provided with german language pack and so, also all the translations you filled. When you uncheck the "my translations" option, it will show what you're asking for.

phloo

Nope

Veriael Well, I'm pretty sure what I said does what you wanted.

Nope. take a look here:

(options selected: your extension and language: german)

as you can see it shows me all already translated options.

Any updates on this? 🙂

phloo

Hey Clark, thanks for the feedback. Will open an issue.
I believe your suggestions will help a lot!

chawki

can I able to change "start a discussion" button text and change search forum input placeholder?

clarkwinkelmann

chawki you sure can! Do you have issues finding the strings?

chawki

clarkwinkelmann yeah, Please can you able to help me

clarkwinkelmann

chawki have you installed the Linguist extension ? Just type the text you want to translate in the search bar of Linguist, the string should show up and you can edit it, like shown in the screenshot in the first post here.

If that's not what is happening, can you describe which step you are having issues with and what error message you see if any ?

chawki

yeah, awesome after clearing cache it works, thanks a lot :-)

maicol07

Is it possible to download translation files? ~~Where are strings saved?~~ Strings are saved in the database

VittorioTomasi is your forum installed in a subfolder ? Can you perform other administrative function in the same window (like edit permissions or change other extension settings) ?

VittorioTomasi

yes Flarum is installed in my server Ubuntu with plesk onyx tool management. I can do everything, and yes flarum is in a subfolder.

clarkwinkelmann

VittorioTomasi did the extension enable itself (you should see the extension enabled on the extensions page and see the Linguist link in the admin side menu) ? the error appears when you open the Linguist page ?

Can you share the output of php flarum info (run this command in your Flarum folder via a terminal/command line).
