Hi Hannah, Jasem was telling me today about a new translations feature that was implemented. He said there might be problems on Macs and Windows but that you are working on it. I tried his instructions and got partially there. I went to the directory I was building kstars. I used make fetch-translations and it acquired the po files. Then I did make and it made the mo files. Then I did make install and it put them into a subfolder called /share/locale. But it doesn’t show up in the program.
Does this feature need to look in the /usr/share/locale directory for the translation files or is it a relative path? A big problem with that is that on MacOS, the /usr/share directory is not writeable except by the system. Is there a way to change where it looks for the files, like a preference? Or would you need to hard-code locations? A good place to look for them would be inside the app bundle like Kstars.app/Contents/Resources/locale or in ~/Library/Application Support/kstars/locale. Thank you, Rob
