Monero daemon internationalization
==================================
The Monero command line tools can be translated in various languages. The Monero command line tools can be translated in various languages.
In order to use the same translation workflow as the future GUI, they
use Qt Linguist translation files. However, to avoid the dependencies In order to use the same translation workflow as the [Monero Core GUI](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core), they use Qt Linguist translation files. However, to avoid the dependencies on Qt this normally implies, they use a custom loader to read those files at runtime.

For translating, you need either the **Qt Linguist GUI** ([part of QT Creator](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#allDownloadsDiv-9) or a [3rd-party standalone version](https://github.com/lelegard/qtlinguist-installers/releases)), or another tool that supports Qt ts files, such as Transifex. The files are XML, so they can be edited in any plain text editor if needed.
such as Transifex. To run, you do not need anything Qt.
### Creating / modifying translations
You do not need anything from Qt in order to use the final translations.
To update ts files after changing source code: To update ts files after changing source code:
./utils/translations/update-translations.sh ./utils/translations/update-translations.sh
To add a new language, eg Spanish (ISO code es): To add a new language, eg Spanish (ISO code es):
cp translations/monero.ts translations/monero_es.ts cp translations/monero.ts translations/monero_es.ts
To edit translations for Spanish: To edit translations for Spanish:
linguist translations/monero_es.ts linguist translations/monero_es.ts
To build translations after modifying them: To build translations after modifying them:
./utils/translations/build-translations.sh ./utils/translations/build-translations.sh
To test a translation: To test a translation:
LANG=es ./build/release/bin/monero-wallet-cli LANG=es ./build/release/bin/monero-wallet-cli
To add new translatable sources in the source: To add new translatable strings in the source code:
Use the tr(string) function if possible. If the code is in a class, Use the `tr(string)` function if possible. If the code is in a class, and this class doesn't already have a `tr()` static function, add one, which uses a context named after what `lupdate` uses for the context, usually the fully qualified class name (eg, `cryptonote::simple_wallet`). If you need to use `tr()` in code that's not in a class, you can use the fully qualified version (eg, `simple_wallet::tr`) of the one matching the context you want. Use `QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP(string)` if you want to specify a context manually.
