The translation of command names and descriptions, and of the help, is available for several backends (most notably GRASS). However in Processing the English version is always used.

#1 Updated by Alexander Bruy about 10 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

As algorithm help now part of the User Guide and translated with it, and Processing itself also i18n capable can we close this?

#2 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 9 years ago

  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed
  • Resolution set to fixed/implemented

closing for lack of feedback.

#3 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 9 years ago

  • Affected QGIS version changed from 2.2.0 to master
  • Status changed from Closed to Reopened
  • Target version set to Future Release - Lower Priority
  • Resolution deleted (fixed/implemented)

Still true in 2.8.2. The issue is not translating the help, but using the one already translated.

  • Category changed from 94 to Processing/Core

#5 Updated by Harrissou Santanna about 9 years ago

Indeed, it'd be nice to fetch if a translated help exists before showing the english one. Now that all the processing interface is translatable, it's weird to have all the options in a language and the help still in english.

This seems to work as expected, at least on master.

I can't find any evidence that the HTML manual pages for GRASS modules are available in languages other than EN. Look at the attached images: even with GRASS GUI localized the HTML manual pages for modules are presented in EN, while the command line help is translated (or partially translated).

Looking at the rest of Processing and default backends (in master):

  • seems to me that Processing GUI, backends modules descriptions and parameters are translated/translatable, with SAGA exception(?)
  • gdal/ogr tools help points to EN pages, the only available as far as I know
  • qgis/saga/taudem tools help point to qgis user manual, that is localized
  • otb help point to html files that are only available in EN and not seemingly not translatable

please leave feedback, in a timely manner if possible.
