# Translation

## Interface translation

### Requirements

Qt Linguist tools are used to manage translations. Typically on Ubuntu:

    sudo apt install qttools5-dev-tools

### Workflow

1. Update `.ts` files:

       pylupdate5 -noobsolete -verbose thyrsis/resources/i18n/plugin_translation.pro

2. Translate your text using QLinguist or directly into `.ts` files.

3. Compile it:

       lrelease thyrsis/resources/i18n/*.ts
