Translations
- You need to have Qt 5.5 installed. If you haven't, download and install it from http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/
- Follow the installation steps explained here: https://github.com/liri-browser/liri-browser/#installation
Once you have the application installed, you can start adding support for a new language. Just skip this section if you just want to improve existing translations.
Qt comes with the tool lupdate that allows adding new translation files. It should be located at <path to qt>/<version>/<architecture>/bin.
You can use this tool to add new translation files (*.ts):
$ <path to qt>/<version>/<architecture>/bin/lupdate liri-browser.pro -ts translations/<filename>.ts
As filename choose the name of the locale, with the language and country separated by underbars. Language is always lower case, and country is always upper case (e.g. "en_US").
Now you need to create a reference to that file in liri-browser.pro:
TRANSLATIONS += translations/de_DE.ts \
translations/ru_RU.ts \
translations/<filename>.ts
In the "bin"-directory of your Qt-Installation you will find a tool called "linguist". Run it and open the translation (*.ts) file of your choice.
The tool lrelease is used to create the translation binary files that will be shipped with the application:
$ <path to qt>/<version>/<architecture>/bin/lrelease translations/*
