Can't get translations to work.

[dmalves]

Hi,

I've got the latest ttkbootstrap from github today:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap

then I cloned the repository:

git clone https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap

All examples work, but the translations. I tried the tests, and I could not get tableview or any dialog to be translated. I am using ubuntu linux:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal

Is there any specific command I need to choose the language? How do I know if ttkbootstrap is loading the correct the translation file? In my case it should be 'pt_br'.

EDIT: tried on python3.8.4

Thanks for your time.

What value do you get if you run the MessageCatalog.locale() command?

What value do you get if you run the MessageCatalog.locale() command?

`
import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.dialogs import Querybox, Messagebox
from ttkbootstrap.icons import Icon
from ttkbootstrap.localization import MessageCatalog
from ttkbootstrap import localization
localization.initialize_localities()

MessageCatalog.locale('pt_br')

Messagebox.yesnocancel("Messagebox.yesnocancel")

print("My locale:", MessageCatalog.locale())`
---------------- console output after pressing "yes" ---------
My locale: pt_br
---------------- screen output ----------------------

[dmalves]

If I remove: MessageCatalog.locale('pt_br')

I still get "My locale: pt_br". Nothing changes.

[israel-dryer]

What locale is returned from the MessageCatalog.locale() method with no parameters. I'm wondering what native locale is recognized by tkinter.

Take the following test.
download the repository zip file
https://codeload.github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap/zip/refs/heads/master

extract the contents of the zip file folder

/ttkbootstrap-master/src/ttkbootstrap/

to the python modules folder. In my case python 3.8

/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ttkbootstrap/

See if the translation has been applied

---

It appears to be some versioning conflict in the installation via pip

---

See my test:
I deleted the folder 'ttkbootstrap' and 'ttkbootstrap-1.5.1.dist-info' in the directory:

/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages

and I installed it via pip:
pip3 install git+https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap
see the result of your code, did not apply the translation:

To fix I downloaded the zip file
https://codeload.github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap/zip/refs/heads/master

and put the contents of the folder:

/ttkbootstrap-master/src/ttkbootstrap/

in the directory:

/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ttkbootstrap/

see the result of your code, here applied the translation:

---

code:

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.dialogs import Querybox, Messagebox
from ttkbootstrap.icons import Icon
from ttkbootstrap.localization import MessageCatalog
from ttkbootstrap import localization
localization.initialize_localities()

MessageCatalog.locale('pt_br')

Messagebox.yesnocancel("Messagebox.yesnocancel")

print("My locale:", MessageCatalog.locale())

[israel-dryer]

I wonder if it's using the cached version of ttkbootstrap on the local machine?

@israel-dryer @dmalves

See the files downloaded and installed via pip (ttkbootstrap-1.5.1).
pip3 install git+https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap

There is no localization/msgs folder, so the translation was not applied.
ttkbootstrap_via_pip.zip

---

I haven't checked the other files, but it looks like the version installed via pip is not the latest from the repository,
or else it was just missing to include the folder with the translation files

[israel-dryer]

@antrrax, @dmalves, you should get the msg files now when installing via github.

[antrrax]

I tested it here

via
pip3 install git+https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap

Successfully installed ttkbootstrap-1.5.1.1

It worked as expected - new version with translated text and colorchooser widget

---

via:
pip install ttkbootstrap
Successfully installed ttkbootstrap-1.5.1
Old version - no translation and no colorchoser

@antrrax, @dmalves, you should get the msg files now when installing via github.
I installed the latest version using:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap

Translation is working (pt_br.msg is present) on python 3.8.10 as shown bellow

I couldn't get it to work on python 3.9.0, but the reason is another bug:
