Re: [Kicad-developers] Translation of dialog_bom_help.html

[David Godfrey]

Hi Wayne, Out of interest, if formatted translated text is required in this dialogue would  it be easier to change from html to markdown? At least markdown is fairly easy for a translator to work with, although it doesn't provide all of the flexibility of html.

I'm not sure there is anything we can do to make this translatable. Anyone else have any ideas? We could move the entire text to the user documentation, and make the dialog point at it. If the dialog is unusable without the documentation, then that is a separate problem, but I doubt it's that bad. Simon I completely missed the fact the html file is converted to a C string by Html2C.cmake. It would be easy enough to modify Html2C.cmake to wrap the string with the _() macro. The problem I see is the string (see generated file eeschema/dialogs/dialog_bom_help_html.h) has a lot of markup which I'm sure will make life miserable for translators. We could try Simon's suggestion of moving the html text to the eeschema user docs and provide a link using the help button. We would have to add code to point the help url to the translated version if it exists but that shouldn't be too difficult (famous last words). The contents of the BOM dialog html file do not appear to exist anywhere in the eeschema user doc. In the future we should refrain from doing this so that all source strings and documentation can be translated.
