On my Debian system, the Qt core translations are in the package 'qttranslations5-l10n'. This package is installed by default when any Qt 5 libraries are installed, but it can be removed or accidentally not installed if the user doesn't install "Recommends" dependencies.

Is the qttranslations module built by mxe-octave for the Windows bundle? If not, maybe that should be the subject of a new bug report.

@Felipe: Do you have the language packs for pt, es, de installed?  If not then Qt will probably fall back on en.

In the File Browser, the column heading "Name" doesn't seem to be internationalized (or translations are missing in more than one localization) -- confirm?

I opened bug #55503 for the appdata info.

Should I open a new report for the translation of the appdata info (see comment #20)?

@Torsten: Are you ready to push the Japanese translation and then close this bug?

Massimiliano, thank you very much for the Italian translation. I have pushed it with cset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c8efbaf65180

It would compile but would not work afterwards:

@alexanderw: Thanks for the translation. The attached patch adds it to appdata.xml.
Can someone please check if this is the right syntax? I tried to replicate what I found here [1].

Should that description (and translations) also be added to octave.doap?

Please find attached an update for pt_BR.ts

Here's a German translation of the appdata:

GNU Octave ist eine höhere, interpretierte Programmiersprache, die hauptsächlich für numerische Berechnungen gedacht ist. Sie bietet Funktionen für die numerische Lösung linearer und nichtlinearer Probleme und für die Durchführung anderer numerischer Experimente. Darüber hinaus bietet es umfangreiche Grafikfunktionen zur Datenvisualisierung und -manipulation. Octave wird normalerweise mittels einer interaktiven Befehlszeile verwendet, kann aber auch zum Schreiben nicht interaktiver Programme verwendet werden. Die Octave-Programmiersprache ist sehr ähnlich zu Matlab, so dass die meisten Programme leicht übertragbar sind.

Octave verfügt über umfangreiche Werkzeuge zur Lösung gängiger numerischer linearer Probleme der Algebra, zum Auffinden der Wurzeln nichtlinearer Gleichungen, zur Integration gewöhnlicher Funktionen, zur Manipulation von Polynomen und zur Integration gewöhnlicher Differentialgleichungen und differential-algebraischer Gleichungen. Es ist  leicht erweiter- und anpassbar mittels benutzerdefinierter Funktionen, die in Octaves eigener Programmiersprache geschrieben wurden, oder über dynamisch geladene, in C++, C, Fortran oder anderen Sprachen geschriebenen Module.

I'm not really involved in the translation process, but just wanted to drop a couple pieces of info. Octave did accept a few translation updates and fixes after the first release candidate for Octave 4.4. The first release candidate was published on April 11, 2018, and translations were applied on the stable branch until April 18. The second release candidate was made on April 19. But by far most of the translation changes were made and applied between March 31 and April 9. Rest assured at some point the maintainers will probably want to stop accepting translation patches.

And as far as version numbering, the official release of Octave 5 will be called 5.1.0. The first release candidate will probably be called 5.0.90. The current alpha status is labeled 5.0.1 already. You will probably see 5.0.90 as a flatpak pre-release.

I'd still be curious to see if there are tools or processes that could make this whole effort go more smoothly, so translators don't have to wait for developers and vice versa.

Philip, thanks for the Dutch translation. I have pushed the cset here: http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/41a36486a9db

At the moment I have no explanation for the missing translation of the button texts in the preferences dialog. The missing translations in the new doc viewer  should be fixed by including the related Qt header files into the scans for translatable strings.

Attached is nl_NL.ts + a cset relative to stable.

I noted that several strings have no translation.
E.g., in bottom of Preferences Pane: '"OK" "Apply" "Cancel"
Or when a search in the doc pane yields no results: "Your search did not match any documents". Above that is a toolbar text "0 of 0 Hits".

I pushed an update to the German translation file here:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/f6cf96b71081

José, you can use the command

hg branch stable

I was not able to push to the repo ("abort: HTTP Error 504: Gateway Time-out") so I am attaching a patch for the French translation.

(file #45740)

José, thanks for the attached file. However, it seems that you have made the changes in an older version, maybe from the default branch? I have pushed the updated files to the stable branch.

This bug report is for updating the translation of the gui for the upcoming release 5.0.0. I am going to push a changeset where missing or changed strings from the gui are added to the translation files.

Please upload the completed translation files (*.ts) in this bug report.
