Hi there,
sorry to post, but i can’t find other post on how to translate a custom app. I got infos at:
https://frappe.github.io/frappe/user/en/guides/basics/translations
but can’t figure out how to it work.
Should I add translates/[lang].csv into the custom app?
Thx in advance
You need to export the untranslated text first, make of copy of it and replace the text with translated text and import it back into the system.
Just follow these steps:
bench get-untranslated [lang] [path]
bench update-translations [lang] [path of untranslated strings] [path of translated strings]
Let us know if you get any errors.
@KanchanChauhan thanks for the hint, it’s not clear what the [path] is referred to, can you post some examples?
[path] would be path of file like /Users/xyz/Documents/2016-06-17
Sorry i’m not getting you …let me explain …
I’ve a custom app and i’d like to translate from english to italian:
DocType name
DocType field name and option for Select if present
How to do that?
Thx in advance

Hi,
Did you get any solution, facing same issue, want to translate custom app to other language? It may not be a custom translation, google translation would also work. Any quick fix?
Actually I’m using custom translations …check for translation l’installazione not search bar
I have similar issues.
I only want to translate the strings of my custom app. Not other frappe strings…
If i do bench get-untranslated I do get all the untranslated stings.
I can not see an --app option for this command?!
How do I make this app specific?!
Thank you
Its not supported to translate a certain app,
so you can do the following:
bench get-untranslatedbench update-translations [lang] [source-path] [source-path] You see above I used the same file for translation,
after this you will find a translations file in each app and you can translate the app you need.
Warning: this could mess up Erpnext and Frappe translations so either take a backup of all apps translation files, or translate locally.
Please Help me to understand this…
I run
bench get-untranslated ./ToBeTranslated
I get 420 missing translations and an accordingly long file.
I only want to translate some of those Strings for my app.
So when using the ToBeTranslated File as first [source-path] , how does the second `[source-path] has to look like when running
bench update-translations [lang] [source-path] [source-path]
With everything I tried so far, I got the csv file without any translations.
That also would be fine, If I knew that I can translate in this csv without having to worry that it will be overridden as soon as I get more strings…
Also now I only get the strings that should be translated that origninate from a file in my .csv file.
No more do I see any strings that come from DocTypes…
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
According to Translations, “Add the translated strings in another file in the same order”.
However, when I tried it, I got:
(env) frappe@b33f2bd70900:/workspace/development/frappe-bench/sites$ bench update-translations id untranslated.csv id.csv
WARN: bench is installed in editable mode!
This is not the recommended mode of installation for production. Instead, install the package from PyPI with: `pip install frappe-bench`

...
so each row is inconsistent, usually it is a tuple with 4 elements instead of 2, and sometimes it is 2 elements.
