I've added Dutch and Frisian translation files into the application, as well as a quick guide on how to add translations (https://github.com/emericg/WatchFlower/blob/master/i18n/README.md).
You can add Frisian too, but you'll see that one language already take a fair amount of time to do!
Yes good job the new commits got added to the PR.
I've check the file they're basically good to go, very few adjustments needed. For a "manual" translation that was very well done! Thank you so much for this work!
I'm gonna play battlefield now but I'll do the BETA tomorrow ^^
Bit more complicated than I thought. I don't have a desktop at home, so I started to translate/ edit the .ts file itself. Is it okay to do it that way?
I have to translate 'moisture' and 'humidity' in seperate lines. What's the difference I have to take account off? Perhaps soil moisture and air humidity?
Yes it is soil moisture and air humidity. Some languages have different words, others don't.
The application supports plant sensors and thermometers so it make sense having both.

Sure.
In any case, when you're not sure about a translation, leave the 'unfinished' tag, it will make it easy for other people to have a second look at it.
583 Official informations
What do you mean here?
It's in a Bluetooth information text. It's a link to an official android documentation page.
611 Refresh sensors data
Is it one or more devices?
It's in the app drawer, to refresh all sensors at once.
680 Change persistent settings here!
What do you mean here? Predefined?
For the desktop version. It's for settings that are saved.
690 Automatique dark mode
Automatic is correct English
Damn you're right, Automatique is french ^^ Sometimes I let english slip into my french and vice versa...
705 Bluetooth control
What exactly do you mean?
That's the title for the setting below.
710 WatchFlower can power on your device's Bluetooth in order to operate.
I translated it like: WatchFlower can activate your device's Bleutooth.
Is that adequate?
Yes indeed, I should probably use that too
715 Bluetooth compatibility
What do you mean here?
That's the title for the setting below. That was really hard to put into word...
720 source>Sensors will be updated sequentially instead of simultaneously. Improve Bluetooth communication reliability, at the expanse of synchronization speed.
What do you mean with the 2nd sentence?
With many android phones, bluetooth usually sucks hard. This settings helps improving reliability, but instead of updating each sensors on a 10s period, il will take 10s * the number of sensors. So if you have 10 sensors... that's why I put "at the expanse of synchronization speed."
725 Start application minimized
Do you mean pop up or small app-windows?
For the desktop version. The application starts (like when the computer starts) but it's hidden/minimized on the task bar.
740 what do you mean with system tray?
For the desktop version. For instance, the bottom/right area of the screen on windows with the little icons for applications that stays always on. This thing doesn't necessarily have a straightforward translation. In french I thing I use "notification area" or something.
767 what is h.?
Short for hourly, if applicable in dutch.
772 source>Use bigger indicators
Do you mean labels?
787 source>Monthly
792
Is this about the histogram?
Yes
870 Click on sensors to access
Click on one of the sensors?
Yes It's better indeed
880 Set limits like optimal water le or temperature range and more depending on available sensors metrics.;
Optimal moisture level as basis for translation?
yes indeed
and more depending on available sensors metrics: is depending on sensors specifications okay as basis for translation?
I guess I meant more "depending on data mesured by sensors", like some sensors mesure light, some moisture and light, etc...

890 source>Allright!
What's the context?
It's from the tutorial, to go between the pages. You can see it in about / tutorial.
By the wat, is it possible to add lines that give info about the app text? For example the context, the corresponding device, including maximum caracters? Guidelines could make it easier to translate.
I'll merge the changes, check the file format (because you edited it manually it's probable some manual fixes will be required) and we'll be good to go!
Tell me if you want more than your pseudo added to the translators list in i18n/README!
By the wat, is it possible to add lines that give info about the app text? For example the context, the corresponding device, including maximum caracters? Guidelines could make it easier to translate.
I think it is possible to add comments yes, but I never did it yet. I'll see if I can add some, based on your remarks.
The translation software helps put the strings in context by showing the code around. Also you can add comments, per translation file, not globally, to help futur translation or explain your choices.
Regarding word and sentences sizes, there just isn't any definitive answer to that problem. Sometimes the application can adapt sometimes too much characters breaks the UI... Trial and error...
Also, if you'll be so kind, can you translate these sentences (at least the first one) so I could put a basic Dutch translation for the iOS and Android store? That would help indicating that Dutch is a supported langage.
A plant monitoring application for Xiaomi "Flower Care" and "RoPot" Bluetooth sensors and thermometers!
WatchFlower is a plant monitoring application that reads and plots data from your Xiaomi "Flower Care" and "RoPot" Bluetooth sensors. WatchFlower also works great with a couple of Xiaomi Bluetooth thermometers!
WatchFlower is an open source software. By buying it here, you support its development!
It doesn't track the usage you have of the application, doesn't require an account creation, your GPS location, nor any other personal data from you!
I'm going to read the link and pull a request.
Later I'm going to do the Frisian version. Nice idea to add a Dutch text to the app stores. No need to have a separate Frisian version as it's a minority language in a part of The Netherlands.
Only my pseudo is fine enough.
You say I can add comments per translation file. Is that in the box above the commit button?

720 Sensors will be updated sequentially instead of simultaneously. This improves Bluetooth communication reliability while synchronization only takes a little longer.

translation correction
721 De sensoren worden na elkaar geĂŒpdatet in plaats van gelijktijdig. Dit verbetert de betrouwbaarheid van de bluetoothverbinding, terwijl de synchronisatie slechts iets lager duurt.
On the last screenshot you see plantsensoren and thermometers. They only fuction as header. For readability it's perhaps better to give them a more distinctive appearance (font/ size/ colour) than the items beneath them. Perhaps adding a General header on top too.
SENSOR OVERVIEW SECTION
bodemvochtigheid (can only see demvochtigheid on Tab S4, rest outside margines)
bodemvruchtbaarheid (can only see vruchtbaarheid on Tab S4, rest outside margines)
when there's no other option you can replace them with vochtigheid en vruchtbaarheid
firmware update
I see two older devices need a firmware update Update available!
it's not clear Update available! is clickable
it's not clear which app you mean
maybe you could suggest if it's necessary / wise to upgrade (I heard about breaking the sensor because of upgrade errors).
You could give some privacy and pairing suggestions (specially with the Chinese sensors) e.g. recommend FlowerCareRegister
SENSOR OVERVIEW / HISTOGRAM SECTION
782 Histogram
It is okay like this (I suggested 'Histogram overview' earlier today)
SENSOR OVERVIEW / HISTORY SECTION
week overview
the abbreviations of the days aren't correct. It's supposed to be: ma. di. wo. do. vr. za. zo.
month overview
correct abbreviations of months are: jan. feb. mrt. apr. mei jun. jul. aug. sept. okt. nov. dec. (mei is without period)
340 Het vruchtbaarheidsgehalte van de grond is een indicatie voor de beschikbaarheid van voedingsstoffen in de grond. Gebruik meststoffen (met mate) om de voedingswaarde op peil te houden.
specifying name and location
Once a name and location is specified one can't see how to change it or correct it at a later moment.
maybe you could place a pictogram of a pencil next to location and name
setting parameters
when selecting the fertility limits to the max. I only see a 1 instead of 1000
when changing one of the parameters Gesynchroniseerd turns orange. It's not clear right away what it means. Maybe changing the text?
GENERAL STUFF
Luminosity
309 low (low isn't consistant with indirect, direct and sunlight)

Translation question
I translated application everywhere with app... should it be different (application instead of app) at some places where it is about Windows or Linux?

adding text
855 To start using WatchFlower, you'll need to <b>scan</b> for <b>compatible Bluetooth sensors</b> around you.
adding : the flashlight lights up after succesfully pairing the device.
This can't be translated in Dutch in this context. My Zie zo! isn't nice too. I suggest using an alternative word that better suits the context, both in English and Dutch.
Can I use Understood?, Ready?, Ready! or just Close since it has a closing function?
Y-axis
On the overview and on the histograms you could add some Y-axis for readability
just way too much work, it would makes everything harder to evolve and maintain, sorry
doesn't emphasize as much on the negative aspect of loss of sync speed.... it's more positive
I see what you mean, but it doesn't make it a little slower, it can make it 10x slower if you have 10 sensors
there's no toggle for switching languages
That's on purpose, on mobile the applications usually just take the langage of the device
headers
I agree, current presentation is not ideal
SENSOR OVERVIEW SECTION
I think I'll use the short form then, I know that the label size is a problem but it's actually not possible to fix this without rewriting this entire section. But at some point a solution must be found.
firmware update
I just removed the update indicators. I can't tell if it's wise to upgrade or if it's even useful anyway.
You could give some privacy and pairing suggestions
That's only needed for the official application. This one works entirely offline and with any device version.
Histogram overview
It's more "histogram default content to be showned", not much overview. Also on phone or small screen it's best to keep this one short or it will overlap with the spinbox
week / month overview
What's wrong with them? These translations came from Qt directly I can't change them.
add abbreviations to ts translation files
Yes I'll try to in the futur
specifying name and location
I see what you mean, on desktop the pencil appears whenever we hover the mouse so it's quite obvious. I'll make it permanent on mobile.
when changing one of the parameters Gesynchroniseerd turns orange
When you update the interval? Orange mean that the data sync is old (not between 0 and the update interval) but still ok (less than 12h old).
when selecting the fertility limits to the max. I only see a 1 instead of 1000
indeed I saw this one but forgot to fix it
should it be different (application instead of app)
Yes it probably should be application everywhere. But that's not very important. App is just Apple and Google's cute way to make softwares seem fun.
adding : the flashlight lights up after succesfully pairing the device.
This would be cool but it's really not that easy to do. Adding the capability to make the led flash is on a todolist somewhere though.
Can I use Understood?, Ready?, Ready! or just Close since it has a closing function?
Yes you can use the one you like. It's a similar case to your remark on the low/indirect/sunlight. Even on a small software you got so many strings to come up with, at some point you just start to wing it ^^ Most of the time there is no right or wrong, you just got to be as close as possible to what you mean.
Like the orange color to "synced" to mean that the update is "good, but old", it may not be ideal but it's a straightforward solution to a problem that we could spend a day discussing.
On the overview and on the histograms you could add some Y-axis for readability
I see what you mean but not that easy, and every attempt to make a readable and pretty Y-axis has failed so far
You're right, too much work and not first priority
line 720
It realy takes much longer than I thought. In that case line 721 has to be changed.
translation correction
721 De sensoren worden na elkaar geĂŒpdatet in plaats van gelijktijdig. Hoewel dit ten goede komt aan de betrouwbaarheid van de bluetoothverbinding zal synchroniseren langer gaan duren.
switching languages
I understand the application usually takes the language of the device. Minority languages on the other hand (like Frisian, Basque or Ch'ti) usually can't be set as the main language on a device. I would really love to use my first language in WatchFlower. Mybe you can reconsider.
week / month overview
In the month overview in the histogram I see apr. as abbreviation of april. That's correct. I don't know how the other months are abbreviated, that's why I wrote them down for you to look at it.
In the week overview of the histogram the weeksday's are abbreviated to 3 caracters. It's not wrong, but as Sunday / zondag is always shortend to zo., keeping all to 2 caracters gives a more consistent look.
Pitty you can't change them :)
Synced in orange
Synced turned orange after I changed the one of the settings of the individual sensors. Clear explanaition of why you chose for this setting...
adding : the flashlight lights up after succesfully pairing the device.
I meant adding the text above. When I pair a sensor the flashligt blinks a few times. Or is this a 'original app' only feature?

update Frisian
I still have to update the Frisian translations based on my two last posts here... Can you give me a sign when you're finished correcting the Dutch ts-file? After that I can correct the Frisian file and do a new pull request... is that okay with you?
I would really love to use my first language in WatchFlower. Mybe you can reconsider.
I mean sure, that seems to be a valid reason. Right now I don't have any code to do that though so I'll have a look at it.
the flashlight lights up after succesfully pairing the device
They made the light flash manually as far as I know yes.
I fixed the two translations you mentionned. I did a second beta before that this afternoon.
For the Frisian you can go ahead but maybe download the frisian file from this repository and mail it back. Otherwise you need to sync up the new changes, and I'm not sure how you can do that from the website.

Everything okay. Saw the new header too! đ
I began with the Danish translations. Would you be so kind to add the files for me? Shall I open a new enhancement request? And the same for the language toggle?
Damn how many languages do you speak ^^
I've added the Danish files to the code. I think the best (and easiest) course of action is just to delete your current fork on GitHub, and recreate it. You'll have the latest version of the translation files, and your contribution will still be commited here.
No need to create new issues. I'll look at the language toggle today, I don't know yet how much work it is.
I realized that the word Humidity, at the (dynamic) chart, isn't abbreviated in Dutch and Frisian yet, like Moisture and Fertility. I guess it's being shown at the same chart when applicable. Is that right?
If so, then the word will probably be too long too / longer than Vruchtbaarheid (which just fits on the screen).
To avoid confusion between humidity and moisture (when abbreviated), moisture has to be changed again. It isn't the most pretty solution, but it'll due. Therefore I kept the "unfinished" tag.
I guess it's being shown at the same chart when applicable. Is that right?
Yes indeed.
I've updated the translations and also commited the language switcher. Let me know when your good with the Danish translation and I'll do another beta! The latest (for real :p)

Ok I published the last beta, hopefully I included most of your corrections and remarks.
The Danish translation is in, as well as the manual language switcher, let me know if that works for you.
I really want to freeze the strings and get this release out, everything that's not terribly wrong can be fixed later!
I leave the minor language corrections for a later pull
Language switcher
The languages begins withauto. I prefer standard
It's supposed to be Español
it's supposed to be Frysk
tutorial
Not important for now, but maybe it's handy to relocate the tutorial to the main menu. It sound more logical to find it there, also because the tutorial starts with Welcome
screenshot 1 / Frisian
I synchronised one sensor a few minutes ago and two sensors a few hours ago. They show Dutch text Gesynchroniseerd instead of Frisian
screenshot 2 / Frisian
When pressing the graph, it shows date and time... problem is that the names of the days, the months and the abbreviations of the months are in Dutch
uS/cm - cm in Frisian is sm
screenshot 3 / Frisian
The same problem with the abbreviations of the months. They are in Dutch
At this point I switched I languages to Danish...
screenshot 4 / Danish
The same problem as mentioned above.... Dutch text, mixed with Frisian, but now in a Danish setting
screenshot 1 / Frisian
You see what the problem is.... it still uses the devices language instead of the switched language and mixes it up with
The same with histograms... it uses the devices language instead of Danish
Now.changing from Danish to Frisian.
It appears persistent text changes, but not the text that's changing upon the sensor's / WatchFlower's actions
Yes indeed every text and software posted on Google or Apple store is subject to validation, and it can take from a couple of minutes to a couple of days :/
I changed espanol and frisk. Auto means automatic selection, it's pretty standard (haha) in this case, while standard language doesn't mean much.
Some strings can change language automatically while other needs either a reboot the app (so it's really an acceptable trade off) or an action (a sensor refresh will change most text and so update their translations) to act on the language change. This can't be fixed without reworking stuff, and reworking stuff means new bugs, etc...
This version was only supposed to have couples of bugfixes onto the last release done last month, then got new languages, then now has a whole lot of new code, so that's why I really want it out and new code in another release.
I can't thank you enough for your work on the new translations. Doing the translations on a mobile device really tells a lot about your motivation, and I believe we've been doing some real improvements on English too.
Doing them manually has proven to be a lot of extra work though, especially simultaneously changing source (English) strings and doing incremental changes on many translations files.
Every changes on source strings means updating translations for every languages, with the possibility to swap latest translation with older version of the (more or less) same string, especially when I don't speak the target language. Coupled with the many manual fixes on files, this has become really tricky.
So this release will be published like this, and then take your time while using the application to note where changes should be made.
If you want to discuss the source strings and meaning of the different text let's do it separately. It should probably come first. Things like untranslated units (like uS/cm) means adding them to the translated strings list, and so will have repercussions for every translation files. These files also need to be up to date with latest changes to the code or you risk translating already deprecated strings.
If you want to improve translations, let's do it all at once. This is probably best done before the next release, to take into account every changes that will be made between now and then.
Like before, delete your fork, recreate it with last version of the source code, update every translations and push the changes.
Tnx, I understand how you see things. Complicated - I only see it from the end-user perspective - don't know anything about coding. It must be a battle on many fronts.
It's great how you respond to input and ideas. That really motivates me.
I understood you prefer discussing the source text. I'm going to collect ideas, bugs, etc the next weeks... and before the next update looking at the translations.
Busy with the Playstore text. What do you mean with Supports clock update? Supports clock update and changing temperature unit.
You don't mention: North "Plant Monitor" , and Vegtrug "Grow Care Home" . I see Vegtrug is a growing brand in The NL. Same product, but maybe not clear to everyone.

Well I try to listen to inputs, but it's always a balance between the time I have, the time it would take to implement a feature, how many people would need and use it...

I'll let you know when I'm close to a release. But in between I'm going to work on other softwares for a while...
Busy with the Playstore text. What do you mean with Supports clock update? Supports clock update and changing temperature unit.
The device is a clock + thermometer, so the app can update the actual clock time and synchronize it with the time from the smartphone (I don't know if I say that right). It can also change the thermometer unit between Celcius and Fahrenheit.
You don't mention: North "Plant Monitor" , and Vegtrug "Grow Care Home" . I see Vegtrug is a growing brand in The NL. Same product, but maybe not clear to everyone.
I knew about the Vegtrug "Grow Care Home" but I never saw the North "Plant Monitor" before. I believe both are just a rebrand of the Flower Care yes, BUT I never tested any of them so I'm a bit hesitant to advertise support for these devices unfortunately.
Okay, I'll finish the Dutch text
Looking to Playstore images of North and Vegtrug it's the same app as the official one. But indeed, you can't be for sure it's the same device, however I have a Vegtrug and Xiaomi devices and they're exactly the same... On Aliexpress I read it's a global rebranding
So the Vegtrug works? Another user was apparently suggesting taht, but disappeared before I could get a confirmation.
Even if they renamed the device "advertised" name over bluetooth that would make them incompatible with the application. It would not be a hard bug to fix, but without a device... Still quite hard ^^
I chose the word 'App' over 'Application' in both the Dutch and the Danish version. It's the most commen used word. if you want uniformity with 'Application', just say so, and I'll change it.

Allright thanks for the translations! I finally updated the store pages, and I checked the english translation with a native speaker to tidy up some sentences.
Time to put this issue to rest I think ^^ Thanks again for everything you've done, and I'll update you before the next version if you wish to make some modifications!
I'll be doing a release very soon (already in beta), if you want to have a look at some of the new strings.
There is not that many changes so it's only if you have some time.
Also, it would be really really really great if you could charge the files in https://github.com/lelegard/qtlinguist-installers/releases that would make both our jobs way easier, I cannot stress this enough.
You can translate the 3 langages at once, and all of the duplicated / deprecated / already translated strings are handled for you.
Sure, I'll update the translations... allready tried qtlinguist earlier, but couldn't figure out how it worked... gonna have a look to it again tomorrow
Hi, awesome. And you're right about the remarks, I'll update that string.
Did you try the latest beta?
For the TS file, you can upload them here right here on this thread, email them to me, or commit them on your fork and do a pull request as usual.
Because you have already been credited as a commiter and contributor for previous commits, there is no particular need to do a commit/pull request, unless it makes your life easier.
Ok thanks, I've set everything up, I'll do the release tommorow.
The about page text was meant to be kept one/two line, so I've never updated the text with the 10 new sensors, but yes it should represent the new variety of sensors the app supports.
'water level' text was a bit rushed but yes it whould probalby be 'soil moisture level'
Did you have a better experience translating with Qt Linguist?
Before there was a refresh button in the right corner... you moved it to the dropdownmenu. ... but refreshing data doesn't work realiable any longer. There's no action at all, except sometimes update data-text changes to purple
( I tried several times and it worked once, but I don't see text appearring likeconnectingoffline or updating )
When Bluetooth is turned off, the dropdownmenu only appears partially. .. I'm not able to see/ select text
I preferred the prior solution with lightbulb and refresh button, because otherwise there are too many options ( central menu swiping from right, options at the bottom and the 3-dots in the right corner)
Thanks for reporting the bugs, I fixed them.
The prior option was good when there was only the refresh button, but I plan to add more options. Also the subtext was needed. I could leave the old presentation for tablets (I believe you are using one) but there should be a subtext anyway, so I'll have to do some tests.
I had a look at the beta with the updated translations. Here are some minor things. I finally understood what you meant with indicators, so I changed the translations too...
