[MU4 Issue] Restart required to change language #12379
Comments
@Tantacrul This seems important |
Probably we need to do things like https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-internationalization.html#7-use-qt-tr-noop-for-translatable-data-text-strings Also: |
Oh sorry! Edited it now :) |
@Tantacrul Maybe it's better to suggest to the user to restart the application? |
I have no problem with this as a solution for 4.0. |
@cbjeukendrup FYI |
Not actual anymore, since we decided to require a restart after changing or updating the language |
That's really bad. It was a very nice feature of MU3 to be aboe to do this. |
@Jojo-Schmitz I quite agree, but language changing appeared to cause so many problems that we had to make this decision, just because solving those problems would be another big task causing delay. But personally, I do keep the possibility open that we will come back to this in a 4.x release. What's really bad about it IMHO, is that it blocks us from letting the user choose a language in the "Getting started" dialog. It would mean that when you just start MuseScore for the first time and choose your language, you're told to restart it again, which is quite bad UX. So unfortunately, no language dropdown in the first launch dialog. |
Changing language for non English speaker is not "rare", it is actually quite frequent to switch to English to follow instructions from the forum (English forum being by far the most useful and reactive one). And when doing so you're typically in the middle of an "issue" so having to restart MuseScore and re-put yourself in the issue state is pretty annoying. |
It is not just users, also those who give support (like me). Super annoying to have to restart MuseScore just for that, and twice. |
Describe the bug
When you change the language in Preferences, only this dialog's strings are being updated. The rest of the software does not update its strings. However, once you restart MuseScore, all strings get updated
To Reproduce
