Translation of tags into Russian

[IWTA]

Write to me, please, as a person who has never dealt with programming, as far as possible in more detail how to do everything.

I have:
1) Installed in the folder: C:\PERL\ - strawberry-perl-5.30.0.1-64bit.msi.
2) Downloaded Image-ExifTool-11.54.tar.gz which I unpacked along the path: C:\ExifTool\
3) There is an edited out.xml file which I do not know where to put in order to get ru.pm on the output
4) There is a import.pl created by me with the code:

Code Select Expand

push @INC, 'lib';
    require Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML;
    my $file = shift or die "Expected XML file name\n";
    $Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML::makeMissing = shift;
    Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML::BuildLangModules($file,8);

Do I need to change something in this code? If so, what to edit? And where should I put this import.pl file?



5) There is a command: perl import.pl out.xml ru which I do not know where to enter.

"Give me a discount"    for incompetence in this matter. Explain to me "intelligibly" how this is done.

In your version it looks kind of simpler, but I don't know where to put out.xml and import.pl files
I do not know what and how to run to use the commands:

Code Select Expand


perl_orig exiftool.pl -listx -exif:all > out.xml
perl_orig.exe import.pl out.xml ru

Put the import.pl file in the exiftool_files folder created by my installer.

Open a command prompt or PowerShell window in the "exiftool_files" folder. Do you know how to do so? I can try to write some guidance if you need.

As soon as "exiftool_files" is your current directory in the command window, execute the two commands:

perl_orig exiftool.pl -listx -exif:all > out.xml
perl_orig.exe import.pl out.xml ru

this will create out.xml in the"exiftool_files" directory.

The thing to understand is that "plain perl" is started from the "exiftool_files" directory, but the simplified "exiftool.exe" launcher is one level earlier.

Thank you very much! Now it all worked "like a watch"!

6. Edit the generated language module lib/Image/ExifTool/Lang/ru.pm, and
search and replace all 'MISSING' strings in the file with your translations

Phil.
Is it possible to edit import.pl so that for untranslated tags there is no translation added with the word "MISSING"?
The name of MANY tags should not be translated, and I deliberately do not translate them into Russian, but this script still automatically adds the translation MISSING to the untranslated tags. And then I have to manually search for them and delete all the lines that have the word MISSING.
I am translating using ETTrans.exe and I do not need this function. It only bothers me.

[Phil Harvey]

Yes, just change BuildLangModules($file,8); to BuildLangModules($file);.

Unfortunately it does not work! 
Untranslated strings are still added with the MISSING translation.
Here is the contents of the edited import.pl file:

Code Select Expand

push @INC, 'lib';
    require Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML;
    my $file = shift or die "Expected XML file name\n";
    $Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML::makeMissing = shift;
    Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML::BuildLangModules($file);

[Phil Harvey]

Sorry, I was going by my faulty memory.  The "8" flag was to override existing descriptions.

To avoid the MISSING entries, just run the script with a single argument (ie. "import.pl test.xml")

I have tested this now, and it works for me.

[IWTA]

I use the assembly proposed by Oliver.
If I understand you correctly, I should not change the import.pl file. Yes?

To run the script, I created a .cmd file with the command:

Code Select Expand

perl_orig.exe import.pl out.xml ru

Now, if I understand correctly, do I need to remove the last RU from this command? The result is a command:

Code Select Expand

perl_orig.exe import.pl out.xml

[Phil Harvey]

Yes.

[IWTA]

Please write in more detail how the import of the translation of tags with this parameter will occur: ($file,8) and here with this: ($file)?

[Phil Harvey]

If a description in the XML file is different from the language module (.pm file), then it won't be imported unless bit 3 (0x08) is set in the second argument to BuildLangModules().  There are other bits that may be set too:

Code Select Expand

#       0x01 = preserve version numbers
#       0x02 = update all modules, even if they didn't change
#       0x04 = update from scratch, ignoring existing definitions
#       0x08 = override existing different descriptions and values

The Padding tag in the FLAC section has a different meaning than in other sections. You need to rename it so that you can make different translations for the tag of the same name.

[Phil Harvey]

This tag is marked as Unknown, so it isn't even extracted under normal circumstances.  I don't think it is worth worrying about this translation.

Where can I read about how to translate?

[Phil Harvey]

This is described in the -lang option documentation.
