Where are the measurements files in the new (13.3.2023) Seamly2D flatpak or Appimage?

Hello, @Nitro
Are you looking for the menu item? Or which folder they’re installed in? Or the SeamlyME program? Or actual measurement files - .vit, .vst?

Hello I meant the measurements translation file. Before it was … / / share/translations. The Finnish translation file has been slightly translated. I would install my own translation file, which is almost perfect.

LOL, sorry, I completely misunderstood.
Firstly, let me thank you for translating for us. This is such an important part of Seamly2D.
I think the best is to go through this topic which will show exactly how to go about it.
Otherwise, perhaps @Douglas could suggest another way of updating them.

@Nitro if you need help with putting the translation into a pull request, please let me know. I have built some experience with my Dutch translations.

Hi, I have translated measurement fi_Fi.ts with QT5 Linguist. Previously, the translation files were /share/translations. Now they are not there. Developer version doesn’t work for me (Linux Mint 22.1 (Vera). Makefile:122: sub-ifc-install subtargets error 3, Makefile:61: sub-ifc-install subtargets error 2, Makefile:60: sub-ifc-install subtargets error 2.

Thank you for your translation efforts, it would be awesome if other users could benefit from it as well. If you local build is acting up, feel free to upload the .ts file here and either Peter or I can get it into the next release.
Background: The translations are no longer separate, but bundled with the executable, as the external files were troublesome with some release modes as there were special cases required for AppImage, Flatpak, macOS. Now its using Qt default resource system and works without the special cases, but you are no longer able to provide your own translations without recompiling the app.

Hei, csett86
How can I send the files? Unable to load ts or qph files.

I just fixed an old translation issue with measurement names in French…
Just a note when translating the measurement names - make sure the translations are unique names otherwise measurements may end up missing when used in a measurement file.

Hello Mr Douglas, It seemed strange to me at first that height_scrapula, for example, was used as the variable name and not its code A03. But descriptive names would be better, at least for English speakers. A numeric code would have been better for me because I can’t speak English.

Well… even for us English speakers, the measurement names are kinda odd, and not how we would normally speak… that’s what the full name is for. The formula “name” is more a classification system… much like naming plants or animals.
That being said, like I mentioned no 2 measurement names can be the same. It can be easy to miss the _f (front) or _b (back) suffixes. Which was the case with one of the French translations.
