Meshcentral: Russian translation

[vitko-bg]

Hi,

I am on a half with russian translation of MeshCentral .
Tried to translate server to see how it looks like - but did not worked for me.
Shall I fully finish it to be able to test it?

Thanks.

[petervanv]

where did you start the translation? in the meshcentral itself ? or with the tool provided or at this website (github)
witin the translation on meshcentral: click translate server, than save to file and save to server. use laocalisation pick the language u started to traslate (ar) (nl), u shoud see the translated strings. the other 2 options are create an pull request whithin github, the other option is create an topic with the saved file from the server or translation tool. after the it will be available in the future update.

after chaning to your translation, refresh the page!!
greets peter

Hi. First, thank you for working on the Russian translation!!! This is very appreciated. I will gladly accept a partial translation, send me your translate.json file at my email address. I will take a look at it and integrate it.

Peter's instructions are correct (Thank Peter!). You do not need to do a full translation to see the result. A different way to go is to put your translate.json file in /node_modules/meshcentral/translate then go in the /node_modules/meshcentral/translate folder and run:

node translate.js translateall

The first time you do this, you will have to restart the server (so Russian selection will show up). After that, you can change the translate.json and run the command again and hit refresh on the browser to see the results. Hope this helps.

Just a quick update - 200 more rows to go ........
@petervanv - I started translation using integrated translator tool http://meshcentral.site/translator.htm
Also, you said "click translate server, than save to file and save to server" - 1st OK, second also, but where is and how to "save to the server"??? Upload it manually into meshcentral-data?

[petervanv]

see picture:

1. click here, your server is translateted
2. save the translation file to your server (button far left)
3. save the file to your computer,
   3.1mail it to [email protected]
   3.2 post it here in an comment, it wil be merged into the new update file.

hope this clears things

[vitko-bg]

It is completely clear that I can send it to [email protected] - but how a can see it and test it on my server before sending it..... I have tried already with clicking on Translate Server - it does not work - nothing is translated and Russian is not appeared in localisation settings .......

[vitko-bg]

That is the result:

And after couple of minutes:

[petervanv]

after that @Ylianst the file has merged into the master it wil be visible there.
at the localisation you can select the russian language and it should be translateted

[petervanv]

i forgot, which string did you select for translating? if it is en --) select it in the localisation, later on ru is filed with your russian translation

[vitko-bg]

Hmmmmm - went into a problem....
I followed @Ylianst steps "put your translate.json file in /node_modules/meshcentral/translate then go in the /node_modules/meshcentral/translate folder and run: node translate.js translateall and restart"
It worked, finished all translation, BUT as soon as I logged in and changed language to Russian - the all page went white .................
Here is the file: so please validate it if all is OK. Thanks.

RU_translate.zip
The strange is when I export it using "Save to file..." json file becoming with a strange codding for cyrillic words: "0AHB018@>20=85 +" - so looks like there is some problem with codding when exporting translation to a json file.

That how it looks like in translator:

And that how it looks like in JSON file:

BTW - How I can put it back, please advise ......
Restoring original translate.json, running again "node translate.js translateall" and restart did not helped. So now looks like installation is broken...... Help please ...

[vitko-bg]

Will it help if I will run "npm install meshcentral" to update version to latest one???
Please advise before I broke the installation completely - as lots of clients are in the DB connecting to my server. Thanks in advance.

For the future, it would probably be a good idea to create/test/edit your translations on a separate server, not your main production server, but since you've already done that and are having issues, I do believe running npm install meshcentral in the appropriate location _should_ fix the install, but you will most likely lose your translation(s) so make sure you have them backed up somewhere first.

[vitko-bg]

"npm install meshcentral" - fixed the problem ...
Did not lost translation file - so if encoding can be fixed during exporting translation - we can have a russian version of MeshCentral
Once russian is done - bulgarian will be next, but it is also cyrillic ........

[vitko-bg]

All is sorted - but please mark the export translation as a BUG.

I have manually copied translate.json from meshcentral-data folder, and file itself is fine now.

However, will send a beta version of Russian translation to @Ylianst - because when translating all meshcentral webpage coming all white. The strange is that mobile version of the website coming up on translated language ......... so it needs some attention.

[petervanv]

i had a lot of trouble also, i changed to editing on github direct. nice that its fixed with your server

[Ylianst]

Oh wow, so much going on! First, when you do a translation and see the web site is white, this is generally because one of the strings has incorrect quotes or escaping. For example, if you add a "\r\n" at the end of a translated string, it will cause the HTML page to not be correct. You can open the browser console and see where the error is, fix that string and translate again. Generally that will work. If you send me the file and there are problems like this, I will fix them.

I am working on fixing the "Save to file..." now!

[Ylianst]

Just published MeshCentral v0.4.7-a with a fix for the "Save to file..." in the translation application. I also try to standardize the JSON format of translate.json so it can be used in GitHub (Items are sorted, etc).

[Ylianst]

Just published MeshCentral v0.4.7-b and a updated Resource Translator tool. Now, they all save translate.json exactly the same way, with the same order and spacing. So, saving a translate.json and doing a pull request on GitHub should work perfectly.

[vitko-bg]

link to https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/issues/info.meshcentral.com/downloads/MeshCentral2/ResourceTranslator.zip does not work ..... File not found ...
Is there any update on Russian Beta 1 :) I sent you a fixed file the other day. Would like to see how it looks like, to be able to edit incorrect ones.

[petervanv]

http://info.meshcentral.com/downloads/MeshCentral2/ResourceTranslator.zip this one works

[Ylianst]

Arg! I fixed my link above. @vitko-bg apologies for the delay, I just found your emails and working on it now! I would have a new version with your Russian beta translation very soon.

[Ylianst]

@vitko-bg Just published MeshCentral v0.4.7-c with your Russian beta translation! I just had to do a few minor fixes to make it work. Let me know if you see any issues.

[vitko-bg]

Looks like there are some untranslated strings - which are translated in the file I provided, also some of worlds will need to be adjusted/changed - but that is my job :) . However, will make a report with issues I found and will post it here.
Which translate.json i have to get, to start improving translation:
/node_modules/meshcentral/translate/translate.json
OR
/meshcentral-data/translate.json ?????

[vitko-bg]

@Ylianst please let me know if this type of report is suitable for you?
Also - would you like me to upload files here, or would you like me send them via e-mail?
Updated RU version:
translate_ru_20200109.zip
Quick report:
For_Ylian_20200109.docx

[Ylianst]

Taking a look at this now.

Note that /node_modules/meshcentral/translate/translate.json is the one I publish, so it should be your starting point when you get a MeshCentral update. The version in "meshcentral-data" is your version. When you enter the web translation app, it will load your version if present. So, after I publish a new version, you can remove the one in "meshcentral-data" and it will load the published one.

[vitko-bg]

@Ylianst - thanks for explanation. Do not rush with the file I uploaded - looks like I corrected a wrong file. Will make sure which one I am working on first and will e-mail it to you

[Ylianst]

I just published MeshCentral v0.4.7-d with your latest translations. You should update to this new version and start with /node_modules/meshcentral/translate/translate.json because it will be the latest one. I have not starting working on the report yet, but will work on that.

[vitko-bg]

On mobile version lots of string are still on english....

Where I can find those strings to translate and update accordingly a russian version?
