Hello,

With pleasure!
I could have done it earlier, but right now I don't have the time (nor the courage) to do it all by myself. 😅

Ideally, everything should be translated (meaning not only the script itself but also the man pages and the README), but the effort has to start somewhere! 😄

• For the script itself, we can use a po file in arch-update/po/fr.po. See the one from paru for instance.
• For the man pages we can create translated versions in arch-update/doc/man/fr/{arch-update.1,arch-update.conf.5} that I'll ship to users via the Makefile.
• For the README, we can create a translated README-fr.md file and make a link back and forth between the regular README.md english file and the french one.

Anyway, I would be glad to have some help on that matter! 🙏

I created a "fr-translation" branch, feel free to make some pull requests against it to start the effort and contribute to the french translation :)
The above goes for everybody passing by that wish to help ! 👼 😄

Checklist:

• README (French translation of README.md #95)
• Man pages (French translation for the documentation (README + Man pages) #102)
• Script (French translation for the main script #107)

Ok finished pour README.md.
You can check this : https://github.com/jfchadeyron/arch-update/tree/main

Nice, thanks a lot!

Can you open a pull request against the fr-translation branch? That would be the easiest way to check, discuss and merge your changes together :)

[jfchadeyron]

Of course, sorry. It's done.

[Antiz96]

README translation done in #95 (thanks again for your help @jfchadeyron).

[Antiz96]

Added a checklist in that comment to track progress.

[Antiz96]

I created a copy of the man pages in doc/man/fr/ in the fr-translation branch here.
They should be fairly quick and easy to translate as most of the content can (and should) be copied from the french README (Documentation chapter).

If anyone wants to start contributing to translating them, feel free to open a pull request.
Otherwise I'll just start translating them myself as soon as I'll be able to do so :)

[Antiz96]

I made the french versions of the man pages and added them to the Makefile so systems set up with a french locale variant as their language will use those french versions by default.

All of this as well as the french version of the README have been merged into the main branch in #102.

I'll create the necessary files to start working on the translation of the script and push them to the fr-translation branch as soon as I can. It might take a bit of time as I also have to make some modifications to the script itself to make it compliant with the future translation (and I'm also a bit busy these days 😅).
I'll leave a message here once those files are created in case someone is interested in contributing to translating the script 🙂.

[Antiz96]

I created the necessary files to start translating Arch-Update (which are hopefully correct and complete...) and pushed them to the fr-translation branch, including the one for the french translation.

I'll start working on the french translation of the script this weekend (unless someone else started the effort by then 👀 😄).

[Antiz96]

I opened the #107 PR that brings the french translation for the Arch-Update script itself.
Once reviewed and merged, we can consider the translation complete and close that issue.

I will release v1.11.0 including the french translation soon*-ish*.

[Antiz96]

French translation reviewed and merged.
I'll tag a new release in a minute! :)

v1.11.0 has been released, including complete french translation :)
