How to translate TeamTalk

To translate TeamTalk you must download a zip file containing the program for doing the translation. The zip file can be downloaded here. Once downloaded unzip the file and run the program file linguist.exe. The Qt Linguist will now be started:

qtlinguist

Open English as Source Language

Now click ‘File -> Open’ and locate the file named English.ts in the languages sub-folder of the Qt Linguist program:
qtlinguist_open

Select Destination Language

When the file is opened you need to choose the language you want to translate to:

qtlinguist_choose

Translate Items

As an example I will choose Danish and the Qt Linguist will now look as follows:

qtlinguist_danish

Now you can start translating. In the above example I’ve translated “About” to “Om”. After translating each item you can press Control + Enter to go to the next item and the previous item will get a green marker.

Save New Language File

It took me about an hour to translate to Danish and once you’re done you need to save your file by pressing ‘File -> Save As’:

qtlinguist_save

Please email your .ts file to contact@bearware.dk once you’re finish.

Test Language File

At any time during translation you can press ‘File -> Release As’ and you will get a .qm file which you can put in the languages subfolder of TeamTalk and you can make TeamTalk switch to your language file:

tt4_select_lng
