Crowdin Scripts
Managing Translations for FreeCAD
FreeCAD uses a 3rd party translation service called Crowdin to manage translations.
There are 3 scripts in FreeCAD/src/Tools
that are used to manage translation files:
updatets.py
(github source)updatecrowdin.py
(github source)updatefromcrowdin.py
(github source)
These scripts are run from the root of the FreeCAD/
directory.
Note: In order for these scripts to work one needs to have the valid FreeCAD Crowdin API key placed in their ~/.crowdin-freecad
file. (For security reasons, only available to people with admin rights on the crowdin FreeCAD project)
updatets.py
This script will create the .ts files in your local FreeCAD/
directory.
updatecrowdin.py
This script pushes changes to the Crowdin from your local FreeCAD/
directory. The script currently supports 4 arguments:
