brazilian portuguese translation

[gomes2191]

I would like to know if a Brazilian Portuguese translation is possible, if so I can help.

Of course, just need to translate pt_BR.po on po directory.

A peer review would be interesting but not mandatory.

[gomes2191]

I just checked here and saw that there is already a translation for pt_BR in the (po) directory, however when installed

@gomes2191 are you having problems with the brazilian translation?

@gomes2191 are you having problems with the brazilian translation?

Translations aren’t selected on opening the program.

Any example of what you expect and what you get?

The program should open with the display language of the environment, of course

[albfan]

How do you see that is not happening? What text do you expect and what text you see?

Remember we build on standards and gettext just works.

This is clearly a problem on your side, but we can help if you provide details.

As an example, this screencast is taken from a recent build.

My system uses es_ES and that's the language I see.

Also, a couple of more questions.

• Did you install the app from elementary OS, Snapcraft, or Flathub?
• Did you download it and compile it from source?
• What's your OS and distribution?
• Can you launch it from the terminal and see if you get any errors?

[gomes2191]

Operating system used is the Mint 20 "Ulyana".

I didn't compile the instlei application directly from the flatpack

The app translations work when you compile, but not when installing from snap or flatpak; this is on Ubuntu Hirsute
