Renaming Airquality

[sutne]

I am trying to rename the Airquality in the language file

Code: Select all

AirQuality1=Sensor 1
AirQualityAvg1=Sensor Avg 1
ParticulateMatter=Svevestøv

to

Code: Select all

AirQuality1=WH45
AirQualityAvg1=WH45 snitt
ParticulateMatter=Svevestøv 

But after running ‘cumulusutils.exe website’ the language file is overwritten with the original text.

Code: Select all

AirQuality1=Sensor 1
AirQualityAvg1=Sensor Avg 1
ParticulateMatter=Svevestøv 

and this is what is used in the chart.

@sutne: looking into it, a bit more complex than anticipated.

OK, it took me some time to refind how this was done.

As with all ExtraSensors the name is initialised from strings.ini. Although strings.ini is no longer defining the sensors used - that is now uniquely defined in cumulusutils.ini - the name is still taken from there to have the same name in the interface as in CUtils website.

However, the user may change that in the language file and those changes are supposed to be used in the next compilation.

Every run however, the value of strings.ini overwrites whatever the user changed and does a hard reset to the strings.ini value.
I consider that as a bug: only the first creation must initialise from strings.ini

I enclose patch 4 which should fix that. You can confirm by removing the parameter for AirQuality1 (and Particulate matter) in the compiler section. A run will create with the strings.ini default values and changing that text followed by a rerun will use the changed text.

Let me know how it goes.

Almost.
The graph got the new text, but the values above it keeps Sensor 1.
And misses the value (maybe it has always been like that).
‘Sensor name’ also need translation.

Ha... yes, just checked your site and see what you mean. Next patch and if it's ok i'll make a release.
This evening or tomorrow morning.

Steinar,

Attached is patch 5 which takes care of correct translations for the ExtraSensors module which indeed has been neglected until now.

The basics is that you will find some of translation tags - the HTML translation tags - in the section [ExtraSensors].

You will find all translation tags for the sensor names in the section [Compiler] and this includes the three values for the lightning detector although those are not really explicit sensors. This is analogue to all standard plot variables.

The translation tags for the sensor names are defaulted with the text from strings.ini when the tags are created in the CUstringsXX.ini and can then be changed by the user which modifications will be used in subsequent runs for the ExtraSensors module.

I'll modify the wiki accordingly.

Let me know how you get on.

Excellent!

Thank you, Hans!
