Translation of dialog boxes to PT-BR
« on: May 03, 2024, 09:58:15 pm »
I translated the lazarus dialog boxes from the lclstrconsts.pas file into Português do Brasil. Anyone interested in using it just download the file from the repository: https://github.com/assisdantas/lclstrconsts-ptbr.
(Traduzi as caixas de diálogo do lazarus do arquivo lclstrconsts.pas para o português brasileiro. Quem tiver interesse em utilizá-lo basta baixar o arquivo do repositório)

Follow the steps:
  • Create a backup copy of the "lclstrconsts.pas" file present in the Lazarus installation directory (usually C:\lazarus\lcl);
  • Copy the translation file from the "pt-br" folder to the LCL directory (replace the file);
  • Start Lazarus and go to Tools > Build Lazarus;
  • Wait for lazarus to compile and the dialogues will be translated at the end.

Replacing units by translated versions is not the way the Lazarus translation system works. The minimum requirement to create a Portuguese-only application is to copy the file lclstrconsts.pt_BR.po from the ide/translations folder (in your Lazarus installation) (as well as other pt_BR.po files from other packages) into your project directory and to call TranslateUnitResourceStrings for each very early, e.g. in the initialization section of the main form unit.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. var
  2.   PODir: String;
  3.  
  4. initialization
  5.   PODir := Application.Location;
  6.   TranslateUnitResourceStrings('lclstrconsts', PODir + 'lclstrconsts.pt_BR.po');  

See attached demo project.
