Windows Installer Translation
From GnuCash
This page deals with the translation of the windows installer. For the general part see Translation.
Intro
The Windows specific parts of GnuCash are in a separate repository.git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows ${SOURCEDIR}
cd ${SOURCEDIR}
All settings related to the language(s) in the installer are controlled through the file inno_setup/gnucash-mingw64.iss.
In particular, the following settings will have to be added:
- For the built-in messages of the Installer, search the section [Languages], add a line in the list Only if you created gnucash/doc/README-<ll>.win32-bin.txt, add the part in the square brackets [...]. This "README" is shown as last screen of the installer. Its creation is explained in Translation#Check_doc/FREADME-*.
[Languages] Name: "en"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Default.isl" Name: "ca"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\Catalan.isl"; InfoAfterFile: "@INST_DIR@\share\doc\@PACKAGE@\README-ca.win32-bin.txt" : Name: "<ll>"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\<Language>.isl"[; InfoAfterFile: "@INST_DIR@\share\doc\@PACKAGE@\README-<ll>.win32-bin.txt"] : Name: "zh_TW"; MessagesFile: "@GC_WIN_REPOS_DIR@\inno_setup\ChineseTraditional-5.5.3.isl"; InfoAfterFile: "@INST_DIR@\share\doc\@PACKAGE@\README-zh_TW.win32-bin.txt"
- For the gnucash-specific messages in the Installer, copy&paste all lines in the [CustomMessages] section similar to the other languages. For each custom message you will have to prefix the line with your language code and add your translation <ll>.<MessageName>=<Translated Message> there:
