Q Light Controller+

Hi there; sorry for my bad english
I just installed QLC+ into actual Linux Manjaro-Mate (Arch based). I did this over the QT5-Link (Arch). Just works fine but i cant start QLC+ in german language. Then i tried over terminal, using "qlcplus -l de_DE". QLC+ starts, but not in german.
Any time ago i used QLC+ in Ubuntu 16.04, installed via PPA. That installation was in german then.

Can anybody helps me?
Thanks a lot

[moderator] moved to QLC+ 4 questions. Another one not saying which version he's using.

Thank you Massimo.

Had installed now QLC+ 4.12.1 by using this way:

https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... lcplus-qt5

I use the actual Manjaro Mate (arch based). All works fine, but i can not use in german language.
Using "qlcplus -l de_DE" via terminal starts the program, but not in german.

Can anybody helps me? Where i can find the problem?

Thank you very much!

Have you installed german language support on Manjaro?. On Ubuntu 18.04 I tested qlcplus -l de_DE and I get qlcplus in german.

Thanks for you answer!

Iam following this wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale

I have check in terminal:
So it looks like that the language package is already installed?
I tried starting with using "qlcplus -l de_DE.UTF-8", the same problem.
I checked at another Manjaro with XFCE. The same, no german language.
Anyone a idea where i could look?
Could it to be linked in QT5?

On my laptop I use Ubuntu 18.04 normally I install catalan, spanish and english language support on my computers. As a qlcplus catalan translator I installed too qt linguist and their requirements. I found on my system this package qttranslations5-l10n maybe this is the culprit.

Hmm had found the "QT5-translations 5.13.0-1" on my system. And the data is saved in /usr/share/qt/translations/...

By the way: the short description of the program in the start menu is in german: "Qlight Controller Plus - Lichtsteuerung" and "QLC+ Fixture Editor - Gerätedefinitionen bearbeiten".

I think, Manjaro uses other directories than ubuntu...could that be?
Has anyone a arch based system and use QLC+?
I could try to use the QT4 Version. The installation by the tar.xz packages has not solved my problem

On Ubuntu qlcplus translation files are in /usr/share/qlcplus/translations/ folder.

ls -la /usr/share/qlcplus/translations/

Ahhhh... i found this path too, but it es empty!!

Hmm where i can get these language files?

I will install a xubuntu system at another pc for testing.
How did you install QLC+? Via downloading the packages or via massimo's repository?

Issue confirmed. OBS Arch packages are missing translations files.
I'm trying to fix it now

Wow thank you very much!!

I will test then.

Okay i had test now the debian package for xubuntu. This works in german language.
The installation via repository i had not test.

So i could copy the folder "translations" in my manjaro test machine as root.
This works fine! I know, that this is not the correct way... but has the correct effect

Thank you all, and if Massimo has fix the problem, the QT5 installation way will be nice.

Please download the OBS qt5-git package now.
I've fixed it

Hi Massimo!

Hmm... i had downloaded here: https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... lcplus-qt5
Is this wrong? Had checked today morning and the translations folder is empty after installing a fresh system. So the language is only english.

As I said, you need to download qlcplus-qt5-git: https://software.opensuse.org//download ... us-qt5-git
qlcplus-qt5 is a released version, so I cannot change it anymore.

Ahh okay now i see... i always follows the link here in the forum via "downloads". So there is the uncomplete version.

Will try now via the new link. So if i change the line in pacman.conf, it should work.
Many thanks for your help!!

Okay, via the download the package and installing it works perfect, language is german.
But via the repository, pacman want download a old version from 31.05.2019 with the error 404.

I dont know if you can fix this too,

Thank you and have a nice day
