[Bf-translations-dev] Translators aid

[Michael Färber]

Hey Bastien,


that looks *very* promising already! Good job!

Pitfalls I encountered so far:

  * I had to look around where to enable the addon at first. For those
    who are curious: Go to File -> Preferences -> Addons and enable
    "System: Translate UI Messages". Then, if you right-click on text,
    you should get an option "Edit translation".
  * To set the path to the PO files correctly, you have to choose the
    directory which contains the directory of your translation. Example:
    If you store your translation in ~/transl/branches/de/de.po, then
    the path you have to select is ~/transl/branches.
  * When trying to translate the splash screen, I get the error "Active
    button not found".



Cheers,
Michael
