Thomas,

I'll create the post. But before that, I need your help here.
I translated the program using the latest mscore_pt_BR.ts file in the repository, but now I noticed that this file is diferent from the last mscore_en_US.ts in the repository.
I'll update the translation, but I've installed the latest prerelease for Windows and the mscore_en_US.ts in Windows instalation is diferent too.
Which file I must use to update pt-br translation?

Thomas

• Oct 8, 2009 - 12:08

When you decide to update the pt-BR translation, you should always download the latest version of the repository and remove your local copy. While new features are added, new strings are added as well and these propagate into the ts files in the repository. So you could check these ts files now and then, and check whether the file is different from your local copy.
I hope this answers your question.

For the future, we will setup a centralized translation server at translate.musescore.org which will streamline the process of updating your translation (collaboratively). No more playing around with ts files.

I downloaded both pt-br and en_us files today and they are different from each other. The new strings were not added to pt_br file. They have different numbers of strings.

Is there a release date for the next stable version?

[DELETED] 5

• Oct 8, 2009 - 15:41

I don't think en_us file is the source. The source is the actual source of the program.
Regarding a stable release, there is no date.

..vitor..

• Oct 8, 2009 - 16:31

And from the source are generated the ts files for all languages?
For exemple, there is no pianoroll and drumroll strings in pt_BR file.
Will a new file be generated automaticaly or I will have to do this by hand?
I do it. No problem. But if there is an automated system...

David Bolton

• Oct 8, 2009 - 17:42

The new ts files for all languages are updated every so often after significant changes to the text. I do not recommend doing it by hand.

..vitor..

OK. I wait.

The past few stable versions have come out every 4-6 months or so. We are about 2 months after the release of 0.9.5.

..vitor..

• Oct 17, 2009 - 13:24

I installed a prerelease version, but there is a problem with the new pt-br tranlation.
The content of some palets and menus like "Articulations/Ornaments" and "Estilo" is still in english.

Thomas

• Oct 17, 2009 - 13:50

Hi Vitor,

Can you download your most recent ts file from your comment to this post, open it in QT linguist and release it as .qm file (File -> Release as ...). Store the resulting qm file in your MuseScore directory under the sub dir /locale.
(Re)start you MuseScore and check the strings which were in English. If they still are, than the ts file needs more work. If not, than something must have changed on the repository.

..vitor..

• Oct 17, 2009 - 16:29

The palette and menu are still in English, but the strings in the ts file are translated.
See the 'ufermata' string for exemple. In the ts file it is translated.

Thomas

• Oct 17, 2009 - 17:18

Did you try your own qm copy? I can't figure this out from your reply. What rxxxx release are you testing with?

[DELETED] 3

• Oct 17, 2009 - 17:47

If you modify any palette, the palette is saved in a special file and later reconstructed from this file. Translations are then not applied anymore and all text is as previously saved.

..vitor..

• Oct 17, 2009 - 18:34

I didn't modify any palette.
I created my own qm file from the last ts file in the repository.
I'm using r2168 release for windows.

David Bolton

• Oct 18, 2009 - 13:50

Vitor, is it all the menu items that are still in English or just some of them. If you mean the latter then It is likely that it is just because they have changed since the last prerelease (use a nightly build if you want to check with the very latest).

Also check that there is no custom file for the palette (instructions for finding the custom file are here and elsewhere on the forum). If the file exists then you need to delete it. If the file does not exist then it means that you really didn't edit the palette.

..vitor..

• Oct 18, 2009 - 15:56

Right, David. There is only one menu item in english.
But there is no custom file for the palette. I will update translation to the last prerelease and then we see what happens.

David Bolton

• Oct 18, 2009 - 19:31

Just to be clear, I was saying that your translation is probably more up-to-date than the latest prerelease.

..vitor..

• Oct 19, 2009 - 13:41

Attached the updated pt-br translation.
As I said, the menus are all in portuguese now. The accidental palette is corrected too. The problem was the new strings that had not been translated. But the problem with Articulations/Ornaments palette persists. The names of the items are all in english and there is no more strings to translate in the ts file. The same symbols are all translated in Symbol dialog. For example, "ufermata" is "fermata superior", "dfermata" is "fermata inferior", "thumb" is "polegar" in the Simbol dialog, but in the palette they are still "ufermata", "dfermata" and "thumb".
David, while I was translating, all the ts files was updated in the repository, so the file I was working on became out-of-date.

How can I test this translation in a prerelease installation?
In old versions there was a ts and a qm file in locale folder.
In newer versions there is two different qm files and.

Thomas

• Dec 4, 2009 - 10:36

Hi Vitor,

In order to test, save your translation as mscore_pt_BR.qm and put it under the locale directory of MuseScore. That should be enough. Keep in mind to use the latest prerelease to test the updated translation.

Hi all!

I tried to translate some items of chord name list and now I noticed that this does not work. It works only in the Harmony properties dialog where the chord names appear translated, but the result is the original chord name. For example, in ‘extension’ I see ‘7M’, but the result is ‘Maj7’. Is it possible to translate the chord names?
We use chord names that are different from the names used in English.

Updating pt-br translation...
I still have that old problem. The names in some pallets (Articulations/Ornaments, Accidental, Symbol, Note head and Symbols Dialog) are not translated.

David Bolton

• Dec 22, 2009 - 21:29

This section of the UI is in flux at the moment. I decided to wait on updating the ts files until we decide on the language we want for the next release. (otherwise you might end up translating a lot of text that we won't end up using). See http://www.musescore.org/en/node/3863#comment-9723

Hi
What is the meaning of these Symbol dialog names:
s0do head
d1do head
u1do head

David Bolton

They are solfeggio shape note heads. See http://musescore.org/node/3863#comment-9723

Thomas, I saw your message about the change in translating MuseScore, but I have a ts file ready to commit.
Is it possible to do that the old way?

It is still possible to do it the old way for now. I'll have to do it manually (convert ts to po and import the po file).

In the future, import will be possible on the translation server as well, but most likely with another format, i.e. po, instead of ts. po files can be translated with various software such as poedit or GTeD.

Thomas

• Jan 19, 2010 - 17:08

Hi Vitor,

Just to let you know your translation was imported. There were a couple of strings in your translation which were already obsolete, which means they don't occur anymore in the source code. 37 to be exact.

..vitor..

• Feb 2, 2010 - 19:34

Hi
Just to keep you informed.
I'm testing the beta release and I noticed that our old problem persists.
The names in some pallets in left panel (Notehead, Accidental and Articulations and Ornaments) appear still untranslated in ptbr interface, although I have translated all of them. All other left panel pallets and the Symbol pallet (z) are ok.
Tested in Windows.
Another thing.
I don't understand exactly the meanings of "System Flag" in SymbolDialogBase and TextPropertiesBase contexts, and "Timewise Delete" in action context.
I found a "System Flag" in the Symbols dialog and I think it belongs to SymbolDialogBase, but I can’t find the other "System Flag" and the "Timewise Delete".
Could you help me?

Thomas

• Feb 2, 2010 - 19:49

I can't reproduce this with 0.9.6 beta 1. See the screenshot. I presume you have a customized palette. See here how to purge it.

Sorry, Thomas.
I forgot to say that you must pass the mouse cursor over the symbols and wait for the floating names.

Ok, reproduced. Lasconic is tracking it down. I'll keep you posted.

Thomas, I translated a forum topic, could you put it in the pt-br home page?
http://musescore.org/pt-br/node/4492
Is there a date for the release of stable 0.9.6 version?
I would like to contact some Brazilian Linux blogs and magazines when we have a date.
Thanks

Thomas

• Feb 12, 2010 - 11:35

Hi Vitor,

There is no date for the 0.9.6 version. We will have for sure another beta release and a RC as well.
So perhaps beginning of March somewhere.

Hey,
I had the same problem -- what exactly does "System Flag" mean -- and, as I got an answer, I want to share it. Look here: http://musescore.org/node/2522#comment-12975

Claudius

Another problem similar to that old problem.
Open MuseScore in pt-br interface
Open 'Criar > Articulações & Ornamentos'
Pass the mouse over the items and you will see that the floating names are not translated.
These are the same symbols in the side panel pallet. In the side panel they are ok.
I'm using Nightly 2952 on WXP

Both Articulations and Ornaments palette are fixed in r2988. The same context is used, so normally, there is no need to retranslate.
Good idea to contact brasilian linux blogs and magazines! Don't stop with the linux ones :)
