How-to add a new language to Prusa Firmware

We will use Dutch as an example here.

Prepare Prusa Firmware

YY = palceholder for language in upper case

yy = placehodler for language in lower case

AB = palceholder for hexadecial

Files needs to be modified

../Firmware/language.h

In section /** @name Language codes (ISO639-1)*/ add the new #define LANG_CODE_YY 0xABAB //!<'yy'following ISO639-1 convention for YY. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

Example: #define LANG_CODE_NL 0x6e6c //!<'nl' where the hex value 0x6e6c is in ascii nl
../Firmware/language.c

In section const char* lang_get_name_by_code(uint16_t code) add case LANG_CODE_NL: return _n("Language");

Example:

case LANG_CODE_NL: return _n("Nederlands"); Where Language is native spoken version, here Nederlands (Netherlands) or Vlaams (Belgium). This will be displayed on the LCD menu.
../lang/lang-add.sh

In section cat lang_add.txt | sed 's/^/"/;s/$/"/' | while read new_s; do add insert_yy "$new_s" 'yy'where yy

Example: insert_yy "$new_s" 'nl' with yy value nlfor Dutch
../lang/lang-build.sh

In section #returns hexadecial data for lang code add a case *yy*) echo '0xAB\0xAB'

Example: *nl*) echo '\x6c\x6e' ;; !!! IMPORTANT that the hex values are switched so 'nl' is here in 'ln' !!!

In generate "all" section add `generate_binary 'yy'

Example: generate_binary 'nl'
../lang/lang-check.py

Add in help the new language yy

Example: From help="Check lang file (en|cs|de|es|fr|it|pl)") to help="Check lang file (en|cs|de|es|fr|nl|it|pl)")
In ../lang/lang-clean.sh

In section echo "lang-clean.sh started" >&2 add clean_lang_yy

Example: clean_lang nl
../lang/lang-export.sh

In section # if 'all' is selected, script will generate all po files and also pot file add ./lang-export.sh yy

Example:

./lang-export.sh nl

In section # language name in english add *yy*) echo "Language-in-English" ;;

Example: *nl*) echo "Dutch" ;;

../lang/lang-import.sh

In section #replace in languages translation add new rule set for the language. As the LCD screen doesn't not support äöüßéè and other special characters, it makes sense to "normalize" these.

Example:

#replace in dutch translation according to https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accenttekens_in_de_Nederlandse_spelling
if [ "$LNG" = "nl" ]; then
 #replace 'ë' with 'e'
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xab/e/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'ï' with 'i'
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xaf/i/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'é' with 'e'
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xa9/e/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'è' with 'e' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xa8/e/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'ö' with 'o' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xb6/o/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'ê' with 'e' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xaa/e/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'ü' with 'u' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xbc/u/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'ç' with 'c' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xa7/c/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'á' with 'a' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xa1/a/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'à' with 'a' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xa0/a/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'ä' with 'a' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xa4/a/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'û' with 'u' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xbc/u/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'î' with 'i' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xae/i/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'í' with 'i' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xad/i/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'ô' with 'o' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xb4/o/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'ú' with 'u' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xba/u/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'ñ' with 'n' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xb1/n/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'â' with 'a' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\xa2/a/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
 #replace 'Å' with 'A' (left)
 sed -i 's/\xc3\x85/A/g' $LNG'_filtered.po'
fi

../lang/fw-build.sh

In section #update _SEC_LANG in binary file if language is selected add

if [ -e lang_yy.bin ]; then
 echo -n " Language-in-English  : " >&2
 ./update_lang.sh yy 2>./update_lang_yy.out 1>/dev/null
 if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo 'OK' >&2; else echo 'NG!' >&2; fi
fi


 Example:

if [ -e lang_nl.bin ]; then echo -n " Dutch : " >&2 ./update_lang.sh nl 2>./update_lang_nl.out 1>/dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo 'OK' >&2; else echo 'NG!' >&2; fi fi


In section `#create binary file with all languages` add `if [ -e lang_yy.bin ]; then cat lang_yy.bin >> lang.bin; fi`

Example:
`if [ -e lang_nl.bin ]; then cat lang_nl.bin >> lang.bin; fi`

- `../lang/fw-clean.sh`

In section `echo "fw-clean.sh started" >&2` add

rm_if_exists firmware_yy.hex ... ... rm_if_exists update_lang_yy.out


Example:
`rm_if_exists firmware_nl.hex`

and

`rm_if_exists update_lang_nl.out`
