Hi everyone. Looking for the best ways of localization of Sketchup (Pro). Would like to translate into native language. Need your advice on how to organize the process. What software and websites you’d use? The task is to translate resources folder but use automation were possible and try to awoid h…

[question] Different file types: json and some kind of json (.strings files). + html code inside folders. How would you automate translation? The localization files can be obtained from direct links https://download.sketchup.com/SketchUpLanguage-2023-0-419-179-XX.msi change XX to your language…

For context, this is a follow-up of this thread : [image] New language pack for Sketchup SketchUp I adore Sketchup and ready to translate it into my native language Ukrainian. Language code = uk. Our Ukrainian Sketchup Team is eager to have this wonderful product in our…

In the earlier topic I did ask a couple of colleagues about this. In the end they weren’t the right people to ask, and they suggested asking product managers. @Mark do we have any process for getting new languages included in SketchUp?

I think the reason may be that computer jargon has co-opted many words that also have non-technical usages, and across languages we nerds have chosen words that aren’t the transla…

Thanks for replies. I didn’t intent to do rely on machine translation. Every translated item SHOULD be revised by translator, no doubt. The question was how to reduce hand work (digging inside code). Guess stackoverflow or similar sites can help better. I just hoped to receive some clues from sket…

It looked like you had found all the things you needed to change?

I found nothing. Nobody’s interested. My local reseller is no exception. Don’t wish to spend countless hours in digging code manually. Will try to find some solutions outside this comunity. Without guarantees. P.S. localization packages (direct links) do not distinguish current Sketchup installatio…

I don’t know how big is the market of SketchUp in Ukraine, I don’t want to touch some sensitive or political topics but I know that a lot of the population in Ukraine speak Russian, I understand it would be nice to have the program translated to your own mother tongue but probably for Trimble it´s n…
