[Qgis-tr] Fwd: [Qgis-developer] status of Chinese QGIS

[Werner Macho]

Hi Translators!

I take this as a call for help in Chinese GUI Translation ..
The first point talks for itself!
If there are Chinese Translators or people who are able to translate to
Chinese Language .. This would be a good thing to take care about.

Thanks a lot
kind regards
Werner

Dear users and devs,

Just sharing an experience of teaching a Chinese colleague in the use
of QGIS.  Overall the experience was very good but much improvement is
still needed to accommodate Chinese users.

A few notes:
 - Many parts of the GUI (menu names, icon labels and tool tips) do
not have a Chinese translation.
 - When creating a new vector layer, there are no option to select an
encoding.  It defaults to UTF-8.  We were able to add new geometries
but when adding attribute strings using Chinese characters, it doesn't
recognize the entry.  Creating a cpg file doesn't help either. Perhaps
related to ticket# 5255 [0]
 - gdalbuildvrt doesn't recognize Chinese directory path ticket# 6412 [1]

Apologies if I can't provide a detailed report on each item, I have
difficulty debugging the "Chinese" machine. :) Finally, I appeal to
Chinese users here to help in the GUI translation.

Thanks! QGIS is always awesome!
