added Workflow
An OSCAR translator is part of ''the OSCAR Team'' and as such has wide access to everything that happens in the private OSCAR Team section of the ApneaBoard Forum. That means that -''after proving his abilities and dedication''- a translator:
* will get full access to the '''Translations Discussion Forum''' (A Sub-forum of the ''Apnea Software Talk'' Forum) and has to correspond everything concerning "translations" or "languages" in only that forum. Arie Klerk, who is appointed ''Translations Team Coordinator'' is a moderator of this Forum and has to read and act on all threads and posts here. Instructions for new translation sessions (i.e. at the start of a new beta version) will be posted there. Although Arie will send an email to all translators in order to ring a bell, the responses must be posted here.
* will get full access to the website where the '''test- and beta versions''' are published. It must be completely clear that misuse of this access (i.e. by giving away the link to that website, or giving a test version to someone who is not a member of the OSCAR Team) will lead to a complete ban from all of ApneaBoard's Forums. Reason The reason is that these test versions could lead to hazardous situations in hands of people without understanding the implications.
* gives '''commitment''' to spending time and effort in translating OSCAR text strings. Though all of us are volunteers, the work is not optional... We expect you make efforts to fulfill the commitment.
* will use '''Qt Linguist''' as aid to translate and maintain the language file. Thus a uniform workflow makes sure that all languages can be used in OSCAR. Explanation of Qt Linguist can be found later on in this wiki.
* is encouraged to use the '''DeepL program''' for the translation of words and strings (Google translate may be used as a backup, together with other language programs and sites). DeepL can be downloaded and used for free from https://www.deepl.com/home and works ultimately easyeasily. Both private and business use of the DeepL Translator (free) service are free of charge.
* is expected to have '''knowledge''' of Sleep Apnea terms and machine settings or willing to gain this knowledge.
* is aware of the '''impact and risks''' of the translated work for the users who use OSCAR in their language.
I hope that your translation work gives you the same kind of satisfaction it has given me and that you will stay a member of this team for a long time!
'''Arie Klerk'''

== Workflow ==* The most up-to-date language files are available on Arie Klerk's DropBox, here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9z42foptrwjz6jo/AACUnuJ4svmDC6Z47DtDUcI8a?dl=0* Download your language and update it as necessary* When finished, send your work by email to: arie.klerk@gmail.com and/or post it in a thread on our sub-forum, here: http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Forum-Translations-Discussion-Forum* Arie Klerk will replace the file on DropBox and in his copy of the repository* Irregularly, but in time for a new release, Arie will push the changes to Pholy's repo and submit a merge request* Arie updates his spreadsheet (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1gyi5f7m0gxu7pokxrola/Translations.xlsx?dl=0&rlkey=fw9pdkq4z4ucyzqa0tkmpdiye) and also the relevant Wiki-pages on the rtranslation of OSCAR.___________________________________________________________
== Qt Linguist ==
OSCAR is programmed with the use of the tools from Qt (http://qt-project.org/wiki/category:Tools). When someone wants to help this project by adding a new language, use can be made of another Qt program: Qt Linguist. This wiki is a step-up for the beginner. A comprehensive guide can be found here: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtlinguist-index.html.
