New "fr.conf" file to correct some anomalies

[PC]

Hello,

After many months of use, I just discovered "internationalized, your language is available"!

(Tom always has surprises in store)

I was surprised to see that "Celestial" was translated by "Astrologie" Astrology! ...

It should have been "astronomy", but I prefer "Dans le ciel" (in the sky) (*)

So I looked at the file and reviewed all translations.
I attach the new file
Yours

Pascal

(*)  "Celestial" in French has a Catholic religious consonance (celestial in the plural is heaven):
(Our Father in heavens,
Hallowed be thy Name,

...)

[Tom Keffer]

Thank you, Pascal

Unfortunately, except for the line separators, your file is identical to the one that comes with WeeWX.

Whoops !

Yes sorry.
Here is the correct file with even a few additional parameters translated

Well to all of you and continue well!

That copy is good. A few comments:

1. I assume it should be "Taux d'altimètre", not "Ttaux d'altimètre".

2. Generally, all words in the observation labels under [[Generic]] are capitalized. You changed all following words to be in lower-case (for example, "Indice de Chaleur" became "Indice de chaleur"). Is capitalization in titles just not done in French?

3. Labels "wind_avg", "wind_max", "wind_rms", "vecavg" and "vecdir" or not types, so I removed them under [[Generics]].

4. The lookup text must be "About this station", not "About this weather station". Otherwise, gettext() cannot find it. I changed it back.

5. The label "uptime" is not used in the Seasons skins. It's either "WeeWX uptime" or "Server uptime". I removed it.

6. Same with the label "Right". I removed it.

[Blaise Cacramp]

0K for point 1, it is a typo.

For .2, I cannot say if the capitalization is also in French. Personally, it bothers me, but it can be restored. We should see what French -speaking metereologists think.

For the .3, I did not understand what you mean, but I found that these tags (labels) were well used in the max/min part. I invite you to check.

For the other points, I admit that I did not check everything. But these tags (labels) are not translated automatically.

2. Not really a meteorological convention, more of a language convention. In English, it is common for all words to be capitalized in titles. Is it in French?

3. I don't think these tags are used in a gettext() context. At least, a grep of all the *.inc and *.tmpl files does not show any. Perhaps you could show me where?

4,5,6: The translations are only used by gettext() and pgettext(). If the English label does not appear in a gettext() or pgettext(), then the translation will never be used. It's also important to note that the English label is used as the lookup key. That's why it's important to get it exactly right. For example, you have to use "About this station", not "About this weather station", otherwise gettext() cannot find it.

2. No, not really. This can be capitalized or not, it is a choice of the publisher.
3. See yourself at this address in the left part Max/min: https://cambier.eu/meteo/

2. Let's leave them captialized then. This way, it's a consistent pattern.

3. Sorry. Perhaps I was not clear. Yes, I see a label such as "Direction vectorielle du vent", but the tags "wind_avg", "wind_max", "wind_rms", "vecavg" and "vecdir" do not appear anywhere in the templates. I do not know how that label got there. Could you please show me where these tags appear in the templates? Or, did you add them?

[Blaise Cacramp]

Hello,

For .2, I confirm that the titles should not capitalize. I reviewed them all.

For .3, I confirm that these labels are well used in the max/min part.I did not understand your explanations, but I attach the statistics files

For the .4, it was not I who had written this text. But the page displays well "About this weather station"

OK for .5 and .6 The fact remains that Server and WeeWX Uptime are not translated. I searched in Skin and I see in 'about.inc.dpkg-dist' of the '$gettext("Server uptime")' and '$gettext("WeeWX uptime")' but not in 'about.inc'. So there is no translation ...
So, I renamed the files in such a 'about.inc.dpkg-dist' becomes 'about.inc'. And apart from the 'Skin unknown unknown', it works! Is it a bug?

Good things for you and thank you again for this very big job

3. Not sure what you mean by "the max/min part." Do you mean the left hand side of your webpage, under "Max / Min"? If so, that is controlled by hilo.inc, not statistics.inc.

As explained earlier, the entries in the locale files are keys that are used by gettext(). You added keys for  "wind_avg", "wind_max", "wind_rms", "vecavg" and "vecdir". What I am asking is where are these keys used? It must be something like $gettext("windavg"), or $gettext("wind_max"), etc., but there is nothing like that in the Seasons skin. Is this something you added?

[Blaise Cacramp]

OK,

I didn't add anything at all. These labels were displayed in the web page, "Hig Low" part. I added them in the conf.fr to see if it was going to work and won!

They are only found in the 'hilo.inc' file. For instance :
Line 112:     <td class="label">$obs.label.wind_max</td>

It's up to you to tell me what it corresponds to 😉

OK, that is what I am looking for. But, this line does not occur in the Seasons skin! Here is the version of hilo.inc that comes with WeeWX. It must be something you added. I'm sure you can understand that WeeWX need not support custom additions such as this.

It's up to you to tell me what it corresponds to 😉

This is not a helpful comment.

[Blaise Cacramp]

Oh basta !

Non, je répète que n'ai rien ajouté, ce n'est pas dans mes compétences.  J'ai voulu faire avancer le projet et pour finir, je reçois des reproches.

Je ne sais pas d'où vient ma version du skin Seasons, mais pas du dépôt GitHub .

Désolé si vous n'avez pas une once d'humour. 

Je vous laisse avec votre usine à gaz,
Bonne continuation  !

Geez, get a grip pal!

I incorporated most of your changes, except for some keys that do not occur in the Seasons skin, which you seem to think is my problem. 

I simply cannot accept every change uncritically or WeeWX will become an even bigger "usine à gaz" than it already is. I hope you can understand this.

Excuse me Tom, for my mood movement. I also had other annoyances.

Thank you for taking into account the main elements. I attach you the Hilo files that I use and which are still interesting.
You are free to put them in your classic sauce with the gettext() and pgettext() and to integrate them into the skin.

Cordially,
Pascal
