Translation

[Igor-dov]

Translation into Russian. The work continues ...

[Igor-dov]

Need help. I can’t figure out where to send a file with translations (I need an address) I can’t find any information on this.

Hi @Igor-dov, the way GitHub works for anyone to submit changes is via Pull Requests (or PR for short). There is plenty of information about how that works online:

Hello @Igor-dov,
just a quick follow up on this issue. Did you finished your translation and do you want to add the translation to Pronterface?
Best regards, DD

Hi @Igor-dov,
thanks for your effort providing the Russian translation.

A better way sharing the translation is to clone the complete repository, then add/modify the files within the locale directory under .\locale_x\ru\LC_MESSAGES\ (you'll need to create the folder ru first) and then push the change as pull request against our repository. This is the preferred way and in addition this takes also care you are recognized as translator for the project.

I can add your file to the repository but then I would show up as the one who provide the translation, what is not not correct as you did the whole work and should receive the credit.
Anyway, let me know how we should handle it and don't hesitate to ask if you need help for setting this up.

Hello @DivingDuck
Due to my age, I am a dinosaur in some technologies. I ask for help in the form of detailed instructions to do everything correctly.
For 100% translation, work continues. How can I make translation updates appear in the "Printrun" project?
If you don't mind, please send instructions to dovganskii@gmail.com.

Well, I have no documentation for this but we can do it from here.

We often oversee that not everyone is familiar using Git or Github and program tools. There are several ways you can do this. It is depending on the operating system (OS) of your computer as well. My OS is Windows10, so I have a Visual Studio 2022 Community edition (free for non commercial projects) tool chain with Python workload, (and / or) Visual studio code (also used from a lot of users) is an other possible solution, but there are similar tools for all operating systems available. Both support Git and Python.

First step is to follow the instructions for Pronterface Running from Source from source. First download and install Git. From that point you can decide if you want to also be able to run Pronterface from source (you need to install an actual Python version like 3.13 or 3.14) or only want to edit / update translations.

Having only Git installed means that you can push updates via command line or GitGui a simple GUI for Git. For windows there are beside the already mentioned programs additional tools available like Github Desktop where you can manage git repositories with an GUI app without needing to know the command line commands for pull / push changes in both ways.

After installing Git you can clone our repository as described in our read.me under Running from source at your desired location. Create a new branch like Translation_Ru and then add your translation files under .\locale_x\ru\LC_MESSAGES\.

Let me know what your OS is, if you have already installed Git and clone the repository locally to your machine. And I need to know what route you want to go (only translation or also running Pronterface from source)

I use win7 and PortableGit and Python 2.7 with all upgrades from 3.2. git-cmd.exe -> git clone https://github.com/kliment/Printrun.git I downloaded repository. In the locale folder (downloaded repository) I created a folder with the translation file ru\LC_MESSAGES\ pronterface.po How can I now send the translation so that it appears in https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/tree/master/locale There are no questions about Printrun compilation. сб, 6 дек. 2025 г. в 16:09, DivingDuck ***@***.***>:

Ui, don't use Python 2.7 for Pronterface. You should use at min. version 3.8. Guess this is the last version that support Windows7.

So, you cloned the repository. Good.
The next step is to create a new branch beside the master branch (this branch is our main branch and you have no rights to update this branch).
Please delete the former created folder first and then create a new branch for your translation:

git checkout -b Translation_Ru

This is now you work area.

Now add the translation folder with your translation file file again.

Updates will be saved with commits. Now make your first commit:

git add .
git commit -m "First update for ru translation file"

Where add . means add everything that had changed since the last commit and commit -m "First update for a ru translation file" give a meaningful message for the change.

Now you can push all commits (the changes) to GitHub.

git push origin Translation_Ru

After this you can go in your browser to your GitHub repository and you will see the updates you did. Review the changes and when you are ready to send your updates to our repository, create a pull request against our repository. Hit the button "Compare and pull request" and fill in a Title like "Russian Language support" and a short description like "First translation for Russian language" or what ever you feel comfortable with.

Once you have publish the pull request we will see it here in our repository in Pull request. We then will review the request and approve your pull request.
