Pyrevit tools translations guidance for noobs (and by a noob+) :)

[Jean-Marc (Jean-Marc Couffin)]

I won’t go too much indepth as @eirannejad might have a broader way of making the translation happen (@eirannejad feel free to edit my post)

One way of doing it:

1. make sure you have pyRevit CLI installed (in command line type: pyrevit env)

2. setup github account here Sign in to GitHub · GitHub

3. download github desktop https://desktop.github.com/ you might want to use it to push your improvements to the pyRevit github repo

4. from the pyrevit repo page
   

   

5. then in the command line pyrevit clones add main C:\pyRevit\main to add your clone to pyRevit config file
   C:\pyRevit\main being where I put my copy of the repo @ step 4

6. using the CLI command pyrevit clones you should see your repo clone listed
   

   

7. you will want to use this clone for your test by attaching it to Revit
   in the command line: pyrevit attach main 2711 --installed --allusers

8. the pyRevit showing in your Revit should be the new clone now.

9. you can now edit the yaml files the do the translation. translate the pushbutton bundles like discussed earlier

     fr_fr: Contrôle qualité
     en_us: Quality control
   tooltip:
     fr_fr: Permet de collecter les données importantes du projet pour le modèle courant et les modèles liés
     en_us: Collect key data from the current model and its links
   
   

“string” might be needed around the accentuated sentences

9. to see it in action, save the yaml’s and then use the reload button in pyRevit but make sure to change the languages in the settings of pyRevit if you need to see your changes in different languages

10. once you are happy with your changes, you can open github desktop and it will guide you to publish your changes
    
    

it will list you the changes

11. you can then commit them like so
    

12. once commited, you can push to the pyrevit repo but not directly, you need to create your own fork
    

    

13. confirm
    

14. you might have to push the commit again but to your fork now. anyway, a couple of clicks later your change has been send to your fork of pyRevit Repo

15. you should see this in your repositories on github

16. time to create your pull request (PR) to tell the pyRevit master you contributed to its efforts by translating some buttons:

    

17. put a title and a description and then create it
    
    

Then you are done
you done need to do this one file at a time.
make the translations and once satisfied push them in batch
