Release 3.0.2 Overview
v3.0.2 is a hotfix to address a number of issues with how tC handles the content of the checks and the exporting and importing of projects.
Fixes
- Translation Notes were not handling the apostrophe in Greek correctly and some checks were failing because of it. For example ἀλλ’ in 2Tim 3:9. #7156.
- A space was getting added to exported USFM in a couple of instances #7165, #7164.
- Multiple Translation Notes were not allowed for the same words in the original language text. #7096.
- When beginning a Translation Notes check tC needs the version of the original language that those notes are aligned to. In some cases tC was not downloading the needed version of the original language and sometimes the user was not warned that an internet connection was needed. #7120, #7140.
- Under certain circumstances, tC wasn’t downloading the original language file needed for doing Translation Notes check. 7121, 7140
- Other fixes 7133, 7162
Additional Known Issues
- When doing a clean install and including the Git install on Windows, the user may only see a blank white screen for a few minutes while tC completes its first loading process which may take several minutes. Whether or not the blank screen is displayed, the user should end and then restart tC before using it. Follow this issue at #7115.
How to Install
The installation files are available on the translationCore v3.0.2 release page or go to https://translationcore.com.
Windows Only
- The installation may include installing an update to the .Net framework. After the installation completes, a .Net install dialog may remain on the screen. If that happens just click Cancel.
- The installation of Git is part of the installation process. If Git 2.9.2 or greater is not already on the computer, ensure the checkbox for installing Git is checked on the installation dialog. At the end of the installation, if automatically starting tC, you may receive a message indicating that Git needs to be installed. If that message appears, just click the “Close translationCore” button, then restart tC (the app, not the installation). In tC 3.0.2, the restart of tC should be run twice.
- After installation, starting the application can take a long time (7+ minutes on some machines). Please be patient. Subsequent launches of tC will be faster, but may still take a few minutes.
Mac Only
- Install the latest Git if Git 2.9.2 if it is not already on the computer.
- Go to https://git-scm.com/download/mac 2 and the executable should automatically download.
- If your download hasn’t started, click the link that says “Click here to download manually.”
- Open the downloaded file
- If your Mac’s permissions did not allow the installation to start then follow the following instructions:
- Go to System preferences
- Open Security & privacy
- Click on the “Open anyway” button at the bottom
- Then click open
- The installation should automatically start.
- Click continue
- Then Install
- It might take a few minutes to open tC the first time. Please be patient.
- If you get a message about Git being required, you will need to open your terminal and run:
xcode-select --install
sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools - If this does not work, you can launch the app from the command line. Open the terminal and run:
/Applications/translationCore.app/Contents/MacOS/translationCore
We Need Your Help!
There are two major ways you can help us improve translationCore:
- Leave user feedback - As you find bugs, nuisances, typos, or have other suggested improvements for tC, please use the user feedback to send us those suggestions! (Go to the Actions menu and click “User Feedback”.)
- App Localization - If you notice that some of the translated user interface can be improved or if you would like tC to be localized to a new language, you can help! We are using a crowd-sourced platform to localize translationCore. Localization text for tC is spread across three projects: translationCore translations in Crowdin, translationWords translations in Crowdin, translationNotes translations in Crowdin, and wordAlignment translations in Crowdin. To help, you must create a user profile, select the correct language, find the correct word or phrase that needs to be improved, and suggest a change! If you would like to start a new language, contact us at help@door43.org and we’ll complete the initial setup for you. (Note: all changes will be incorporated in the next release of tC.)
