Serbian language

Post by cehjan »

Hallo / To whom it may concern,

A few months ago I started to translate FreeCad to Serbian (Cyrillic) language. Back then there was translated only 14%, and probably because of such low rate there wasn`t possible to include Serbian language into FreeCAD. Within several months I translated up to 64% and so I thought that it will be enough for language to be included. However, yesterday a new version of FreeCAD 0.20.2 appeared and I installed it, but I still do not see an option for interface to be in Serbian language.

My question is: what I need to do to initiate/complete the procedure of including Serbian (Cyrillic) language in FreeCAD software?

Also, I have an intention to popularize FreeCAD by making and publishing free tutorials in form of videos and written articles including screen captured pictures of FreeCAD. To create them, I need activated Serbian language in FreeCAD, and this is main reason for this letter. Beside that, if I create tutorials in Serbian (Cyrillic), they would be usable mainly in Serbia. However, if there is an option in FreeCAD for Serbian (Latin) language, it would be readable not only for users in Serbia (which simultaneously use both latin and cyrilic scripts) but also in Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Slovenia, Montenegro and North Macedonia, where people almost exclusively use latinic script but perfectly understand Serbian language.

Please let me know to whom I need to address request to activate Serbian (Latin) option?

I already sent these two questions on Crowdin platform a few months ago to Yorik van Havre and to Luzpaz, but I haven`t received any answer up to day, so I am writing this post in the hope that someone will help me..

have you checked if the translation is available in the development version 0.21? https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bund ... kly-builds
After initial release new translations are not imported into the stable branch anymore because they could be conflicting since they are based on the development version sources, so if the translation was too low and not included when FreeCAD 0.20 was initially released back in june then you won't see it included in any of the 0.20.x series.

Great! First problem solved! Thanx. I downloaded version 0.21 and it has Serbian (Cyrillic).

However, my second question still needs an answer: Who should I contact to enable Serbian (Latin) option on Crowdin platform?
