Does someone else see the problem in the latest 6.99 nightly that the properties panel doesn’t support translations in the properties labels? The main headlines do translate, but not the rest.
Below example of swedish language, next set to english. Version info below.
This is not new exactly in the latest nightly, it has been for at least some weeks.
I’d be curious to hear whether this happens for others with swedish language as well as whether it happens in other languages.
Also worth noting is that the “Åsidosättanden” (which should be “Overrides” in english) does not switch from swedish to english when I change the language.
Perhaps @JeffYoung has some input on this if he doesn’t mind me tagging him? I think he has solved similar bugs other places in the GUI before.
Now I looked at the nightly build, and the property labels do translate now, and also seem to correctly change language when another language is chosen from “Properties” → “Set language”.
The values do not translate. For example the property labeled “Pad Type” can have a value “Through-hole” and this will stay in english whether another language is chosen or not (this is not the only value, it seems to be so for any value that has text in it).
Tool tips which appear when mouse is hovered over the row in properties, will always be in english.
Subsection titles below / except for the first one (“Basic properties”, which changes language correctly), translate to the language that was chosen when the project manager was started. In order for these fields to change language, you will have to close both the board editor and the project manager and restart.
There are going to be incompatibilities as we now only test against wx3.2 (and there have been thousands of changes from wx3.0 to 3.2).
I can’t reproduce your issue, so I want to first rule out problems caused by being on the old wx version (if anyone can reproduce your issue on wx 3.2 it would be helpful)
I have upgraded to f37 with wx3.2.1 on one system and the behaviour 3. persists.
It doesn’t appear (regardless of f36/f37 WX3.0/3.2) if you start up KiCad in english language and then change language to swedis and back to english, but it does appear if you start KiCad with swedish language (which is default for me) or another language besides English, and then try to change language to english or some other, so far I tried finnish and danish.
The issue described as 3. above with number #13277 in the KiCad gitlab has been solved by commit 5eb3f5d3 and it seems to work as expected in both f36 and f37 according to my tests with the nightly builds tonight (8ca8f83).
