Following some long time effort [1], ParaView can now be translated !
You can now register on the dedicated web platform [2] to provide translations for ParaView. A nice tutorial was published to get started [3], including currently supported languages.
Then, on a weekly basis, translations are bundled with the ParaView official binaries [4]. Just tweak the `Interface Language` settings to try the last nightly in french ! (initial, partial support at the time of writing)
## Technical info
We ends up with a full workflow [5] including a dedicated repository for translations, filled by weblate and used by the paraview superbuild. This also includes new guidelines for developers to ensure that every displayed string can be translated.

You can’t make suggestions on Weblate without registering, so I will make one here.
Google translate provides an API which could be used to automatically provide a first cut for many language files. It performs remarkably well and it would make the job a whole lot quicker for human translators to simply amend any faults.

Hello Nicolas Vuaille,
My name is Augusto Oliveira, a ParaView enthusiast looking to help expand its reach to Brazilian Portuguese speakers. I’d like to request the addition of Brazilian Portuguese (pt\_BR) as a language option on Weblate for ParaView.
There’s a keen interest within the community here in Brazil to use and contribute to ParaView, and providing a localized version would be a tremendous step forward. I am ready to contribute to the translation and rally the community to ensure its maintenance.
Could you please enable pt\_BR on Weblate for the ParaView project so we can begin this endeavor?
Thank you for your attention and support.
Best regards,
A.Oliveira

That’s a great initiative Augusto. I hope Kitware get the locale enabled promptly.

Hi **Mathieu** ,
That’s great to hear! I’m excited about the possibility of having **pt\_BR** added to the list of translated languages. I’ll definitely stay tuned for any updates.
Thank you for considering this addition and for your efforts in making the project **more accessible to Portuguese-speaking users**.
I’m looking forward to potentially contributing to the translations once pt\_BR is available.
Best regards,
Augusto Oliveira

Dear @nicolas.vuaille
Thank you for opening Brazilian Portuguese translations for ParaView on Weblate.
We will be starting the translation process soon.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks to huge efforts from @Kutalmis_Bercin and @Augusto_Oliveira, both Turkish and Brazilian translation have been enabled in the nightly version of ParaView.
pt\_BR is currently at 16% translated
tr\_TR is currently at a stunning 88% translated!
Please keep translating!

You can download the nightly at [https://www.paraview.org/download/?version=nightly](https://www.paraview.org/download/?version=nightly)

From what I understand Arabic is read from right to left. Does Paraview handle that alignment?

This is handled by Qt translation framework, which seems to handle it.
That being said, I’m sure a Arabic designed interface must have somehow other quirks that ParaView does not account for.
