ADD SUPPORT FOR NEW LANGUAGE

Requirements

Notes

  • Do NOT send me the PO files via email since i'm not looking at them anymore
  • See the Help & Helpful links sections below for help
  • The instructions below assume basic knowledge of the command line (OS independent)
  • Make sure to update the following headers in the PO file:
    • PO-Revision-Date - update the revision date
    • Last-Translator - provide valid contact information

Getting started

  1. Fork the project
  2. Create a local clone of your fork repo
  3. Change directory into youtube-dl-gui
  4. Run the new-locale.py script under the devscripts directory: python new-locale.py language_code_here
  5. Edit the created PO file with your favorite editor
  6. Add the new language in the optionsframe.py file
  7. Build the binary translation files (MO) using the setup.py script: python setup.py build_trans
  8. Test the translations by running youtube-dl-gui: python -m youtube_dl_gui
  9. Push your changes:
git add -A
git commit -m "Your commit message here"
git push origin master
  1. Open a new pull request

Help

  • The language code being used should be in the format <ISO 639-1>_<ISO 3166-1 alpha-2> (e.g. en_US)

  • To translate the PO file just edit the msgstr fields as shown below:

msgid "Download"
msgstr "ダウンロード"
  • In order for youtube-dl-gui to display the new language you must add it to the optionsframe.py file:
  1. Open optionsframe.py with your favorite editor
  2. Locate the LOCALE_NAMES attribute
  3. Add your language to it (make sure to sort alphabetically based on the language name)
LOCALE_NAMES = twodict([
  ('en_US', 'English'),
+ ('ja_JP', 'Japanese')
])
