Translations

If you would like to translate Sway Input Configurator into your language, please follow the instructions below:

• Install the necessary utilities - Qt Linguist and pylupdate5. For Debian-based systems:

sudo apt install pyqt5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools

• Clone the repository and generate translation:

git clone [e-mail]:Sunderland93/sway-input-config.git
cd sway-input-config
./locale-gen.sh

It creates lang_*.ts file in sway_input_config/langs based on your system locale. If you want to create translation other than your system locale, pass yourlocale option to locale-gen script (e.g for German, you can pass de_DE):

./locale-gen.sh de_DE

• Open created lang_*.ts file in Qt Linguist tool, choose language and translate all strings. After that, select File -> Compile and save your lang_*.qm file in the same directory as lang_*.ts (sway_input_config/langs).

• Test your translation. If your translation is the same as your system locale, Sway Input Configurator apply it automatically. Or you can pass --locale "yourlocale" option to Sway Input Configurator to force the locale (e.g --locale de_DE).

• Feel free to send PR with your translation :)
