FreeCAD Forum

Hi.

There are two promising talks in the FreeCAD GitHub repository. I think they are worth shaking off the dust.

• Thread 1. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/5547
• Thread 2. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/5548

please feel free to discuss.

Looks like most FreeCAD user are English speaken Or don't read Wiki forum.

What is label and attributes in the first thread? I tried in 0.19 now and the label of newly created part objects are translated but this is not the case for PD, so I think the mechanism to translate those exists but is not used everywhere.

In the second thread, it seems some of the workbench names are translatable, correct? Then it's the same thing, the mechanism exist but is not used by all workbenches.

What is needed is to identify the places were they are not being used and submit PRs replicating what is done in the translatable workbenches and features.

It is difficult to explain what the author meant by.
Maybe when he wrote

Objects names in Label & Attributes Tree View

he meant the contents of these labels?

@david69 how do you understand this?

it's not clear neither for me the meaning of "Label & Attributes Tree View". I've seen it recently but didn't experiment it yet. @yorik I see in Crowdin, 9 yrs ago, you had put a translation for "Label & Attributes".

+1 about workbenches, there should not be translatable. One of the consequence, see the screenshot:
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 42#p595542
when I read in the bug report #5548, the sentence (For example: the distinction between Draft and Drawing can be lost on French users), we did fall into and pretty funny, recently on the French forum, I expressed the same idea.

I don't remember but the texts are extracted automatically, so it comes from somewhere. I wish the github search was better... Isn't it the title of the tree view widget?

The text indeed belongs to the Tree widget.

It occurs in:
src/Gui/DocumentModel.cpp
src/Gui/Tree.cpp

In /src/Gui/Language/FreeCAD.ts it is listed as:
Labels & Attributes

That is, it is the title label of the section in the window.

Applause for your perceptiveness Roy.

i feel stupid... thank you

David don't feel bad.
Just think I didn't notice it either.

So that you are not alone, there are more like us.
