Hey, I have a problem with updating language files on web panel. I found information that if I Upload a zip file they should unpack automatically and it did (I zipped all DWC files )but the language files were not visible. I also tried to upload only one directory with just language .js files but after unpacking it from zip it is not shown in system files and new language is not available in the options. I coudn't find a solution on github, do you know may be what can I do? Also if there is a tutorial for future, how to upload files into the integrated panels I would be very thankful, because I will probably need one, it would be good to check if my translations are at least half correct. Thanks in advance

@chri55 did you add them to the index file?
https://github.com/Duet3D/DuetWebControl/blob/master/src/i18n/index.js

Chri55

@jay_s_uk No, did not. I will add it and check.

@jay_s_uk I added it to the index file and unfortunately, it didn't help. I uploaded a zip file via "upload system files" on web panel. Is that a correct way to do it? Or is there a solution that I can upload it directly on the SD card. I check the files on the raspberry that the Duet is connected to and files sims to be loaded correctly.

@chri55 there shouldn't be anything else to change and as long as you're getting an SBC zip file output, you can just upload it via DWC as you've described.

Language is set by the browser and then stored in dwc-settings.json (and/or dwc2settings.json).
Try deleting both of those files and rebooting.
If that doesn't work, you can also edit them and change the language there.

What language are you looking to add? are you using the correct 2 letter identifier?

@chri55 Did you generate the actual DWC bundle with npm run build before uploading the file from the dist folder? If yes, try clearing the browser cache or reload DWC with Ctrl+Shift+R.

Chri55

@jay_s_uk I am trying to add a Polish language, letter identifier is "pl" which I used.
To confirm which files should I upload? may be I am making a mistake not sending correct files.
I uploaded zip with a directory named "i18n" that consists all language files like fr.js, en.js and new pl.js an corrected index.js.
Should I upload something more?
Where I can find those .json files?

chrishamm

@chri55 You cannot simply change a source code file and upload it on the System page, it's required to rebuild DWC every time that's done. Can you share your pl translations file? Then I can build new DWC ZIPs for you and I can integrate your translations right away into the next DWC version.

Chri55

@chrishamm In what file extension should i send it because I con not sent .js file?
And the translation is not 100% done but It needs a few corrections but to do that i need to see context when text is shown.

chrishamm

@chri55 .txt should work.

Chri55

@chrishamm pl.txt
Here is the file.
And I have a question if you can write the steps what should be done if I would like to do It myself (if it is not a big problem, and may be it will help some other people). It is a completely new thing for me and don't understand it 100 %.

chrishamm

@chri55 You've got to set up NodeJS first (there are countless tutorials for that on the web) and when you're done, just run two commands from a command-line prompt in the DWC directory:

npm install
npm run build

That will generate DuetWebControl-*.zip files in the dist directory. This procedure is already documented here.

I'm going to build new DWC versions for you in a moment.

Chri55

@chrishamm Ok. I need to watch some of those tutorials and educate myself. Thank you for the information. I never did stuff like that and it seemed like and easy task just to translate but it happened to be a bit over my abilities. Thank you again.

chrishamm

@chri55 Here you go:

for standalone mode: https://pkg.duet3d.com/DuetWebControl-SD.zip
for SBC mode: https://pkg.duet3d.com/DuetWebControl-SBC.zip

And the fixed pl.js - there were some malformed strings in it.

Chri55

@chrishamm Thank you very much, sorry that I did not reply earlier but I did not take my laptop with me for a weekend. The translation works well and seems to be translated correctly for a part that i checked for now. If I find some mistakes I will try correct them.

Chri55

@chrishamm
Hey, I am sending you a file with a few corrections that I found while checking the DWC and printing test models. There are still not translated words and phrases. I have no idea how to translate them to keep them short or I am missing the context and I am not sure which meaning I should use to be 100% correct. Maybe there are some other users from Poland and have better knowledge in that matter.
You could load this file with the next update of the program, just not to update all for the language corrections (when most people use English anyway).
