Wouldn't translating them defeat the purpose? I thought the goal was consistency. If you translate them, they will be different for each language and render code like kicost somewhat useless. On 05/22/2018 05:52 PM, Kristoffer Ödmark wrote: > Yes, the only way to make them translateable is to

Yes, the only way to make them translateable is to hard-code these and other values into kicad, same as the existing hard-coded fields. That would be a good solution for me, having similar to layers a large set of predefined fields, being able to name them and enable them at will. But storing

This idea could be a good addition to KiCad eventually. However, at this point, it probably makes sense to discuss it in a bug report. The current strings "Reference", "Value", "Footprint" and "Datasheet" are all translated strings (not in the files but in the interface). The patch adds

One of the reasons we left the Language menu in the main menus (instead of moving it to a dialog along with Icons in Menus, etc.) is for people using partly-translated versions where they may have to switch back and forth a lot. So I’d also tend to lean toward the “give them what we have” side
