Requirements

In order to help translating LibreMines, it is necessary to have the Qt Linguistic Tool installed.

On Arch Linux and its derivatives, it can be done by installing rhe package qt5-tools (or qt6-tools for Qt6):

sudo pacman -S qt5-tools

On Ubuntu systems, it can be done with:

sudo apt install qttools5-dev

Updating and creating translation files

In order to update translation files (TS format), on the main directory, run:

lupdate src -ts etc/translations/libremines_es.ts etc/translations/libremines_pt_BR.ts

It will update the files etc/translations/libremines_es.ts (Spanish) and etc/translations/libremines_pt_BR.ts (Brazilian Portuguese) using the source directory src.

To generate a TS file for a new language, just append it to the end of the command above. For example, to generate a TS file for French, run:

lupdate src -ts etc/translations/libremines_es.ts etc/translations/libremines_pt_BR.ts etc/translations/libremines_fr.ts

The command above will generate the file etc/translations/libremines_fr.ts.

Translating the software

You can use Qt Linguistic tool to translate the software. To do so, open Qt Linguistic and open the TS file you want to translate.

Generating QM files from the TS files

Qt uses files of type QM to translate the application. While TS files are more human readable and easier to edit, QM files are non-human readable and faster to process. To generate the QM files, simply pass the option UPDATE_TRANSLATIONS="YES" on the cmake part on the build process:

git clone https://github.com/Bollos00/LibreMines.git
cd LibreMines
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS="YES" ..
make
