A tool to translate wxWidgets projects

[LETARTARE]

I suggest a plugin script for translating project using Code::Blocks wxWidgets.
This extension of  Code::Blocks will be offered on:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxtranslate/
and is called :

wxTranslate_plugin.script

I will lay the deposit in a few days.

It scans all files (project, or workspace) then creates the file '*.po' we give Poedit.
It uses 'xgettext.exe' and 'wxrc.exe (tools wxWidgets).

If this tool is interest on the forum ,  I will write a wiki page to describe its use.

Sincerely

Hello!
it's a squirrel plug-in?

Seems to be useful, also a separate sourceforge page is great, so the plug-in doesn't get lost!

greetings!

[eranon]

+1 for this plugin. Good luck...

[LETARTARE]

Thank you.
Yes, it's a squirrel plugin (78 kb !!) that dialogue with executable.
This is the first time as I use a SVN repository I also gently so as not to make mistakes.
A soon.

You can browse the source at :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxtranslate/
then get a zip file (or a 7z file).
Version 0.3.1, follow the instructions in the 'infos' (English and French).

Good use.

You will find some new pictures of the use on the download site.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxtranslate/
A soon.

Hi.
i tried your script with c::b and got this error, witch seems legit:

Code Select Expand


The project name 'Code::Blocks wx2.8.x - Unix' contains an illegal character ':'

i think this should not be a error message, but it should replace the illegal character with something like '_' or '-' ....

I'm also running linux, and i have problems with the ".exe" thing.... it is to hard to implement a check wit "PLATFORM" and remove the .exe from execute string.

greetings

@BlueHazzard
Thank you for trying.

Yes it's normal ':' is an illegal caracter and  '::' also.
Under Wndows, the name of a file must not use certain characters   ( _T("[:*?\"<>|]") ).
You must change the project name with 'Properties' for example :

Code::Blocks wx2.8.x - Unix -> CodeBlocks_wx2.8.x_Unix

See "function filenameOk(namefile)":L2379.

I made it clear in the documentation that this script is currently working ONLY for Windows.
Obviously the 'exe' can not be considered under Linux.
I have no running Linux and I can not do testing machine.

Sincerely.

I fixed an error in 'wxTranslate_plugin.script':L80 :

Code Select Expand

Rexe = _T("wxrc294.exe") -> 'Rexe = _T("wxrc.exe")'
new version'0.3.2'

I changed the site, but the download is still on the old version 0.3.1 ??
Also you need to make the change by hand, until 'SourceForge' make changes.
thanks

Hello. No time to use it right now (an my current project is not at translation stage - oops), but I've seen the screenshots and quickly downloaded then read in diagonal (big explanation file )... It sounds promising Do you plan to enter in the contrib plugins which are installable from the plugin manager ?

Also, I didn't understood a line (and maybe others, but not read sequentially) :

it is assumed that 'codeblocks.exe' is installed in '$(cb_exe)'

What does it means ? Does $(cb_exe) a variable defined somewhere ?

[LETARTARE]

Thank you very much for recovered 'wxTranslateplugin'.

Do you plan to enter in the contrib plugins which are installable from the plugin manager

For now we must first test to remove all existing errors ...
Then it would make adaptation to Linux and Mac ...

Does $(cb_exe) a variable defined somewhere

this is a mistake, it lacks '#'

$(cb_exe) -> $(#cb_exe)

is to indicate the installation path 'codeblocks.exe' in explanations, but it is not necessary to declare this global variable in 'Settings-> Global variables', because it is not used by the script plugin.

The deposit is updated 'wxTranslate-0.3.2'.

Thank you again for pointing me this oversight, but it is probably more.
I remain at your disposal for any explanation.

[eranon]

OK, better understood about the C::B's cb_exe variable. Also, maybe a tiny thing, but the zip I've downloaded was called Translator.zip : why not use a more explicit filename like wxTranslatePluginForCB_vNNN.zip ?

Good night

[LETARTARE]

@eranon
yes it'possible, but actually it is called 'Translator-0.3.2.zip' or *.7z.

[eranon]

Yes, I know And it's the reason why of my request... Just because when you have hundreds of GB of piece of software, "Translator" is not very speaking... But it's your plugin of course and I can absolutely rename it locally to be able to retrieve it easily... ;D

[LETARTARE]

@eranon
yes , indeed you are right, I will modify the next release.
Have you tried ?
