Add French translation

[wilhelmberg]

@kikislater thanks for the French translation.

I'm working on a release for QGIS LTR >=3.4 to go out next week or the week after.

Would you mind changing the PR base to qgis-v3.x and

• check if your existing translations still work
• add translations for new things

If you don't get to it during the next two weeks I'll either try to translate myself (my French is almost non existent 🙈) or we do another release later.

Ok I will check ! What is the real meaning of hectometers ? I don't think it's a good translation in english or I don't understand meaning ... There is no such translation in french : it's a measure unit like meter or kilometer. Please make a quick definition or better understanding ;-)

[wilhelmberg]

Ok I will check !

That would be great, thanks.

I don't think it's a good translation in english or I don't understand meaning ...

Leo does know about it
English: https://dict.leo.org/german-english/hektometer
French: https://dict.leo.org/franz%C3%B6sisch-deutsch/hektometer
but I must admit it's not very commonly used.

One unit equals 100 meters:

• 1 hectometer is 100 meters
• 1 kilometer is 10 hectometers

Ok so it's a proper translation I made : hectomètre. Not commonly used but well known.
But ... When I see this message :

It's not really evident for me or may be others users.

[wilhelmberg]

Yeah, you are right that's not very obvious, I'll try to clarify.

In the default case (DEM available and Hectometer attributes checked in the plot dialog) the exported text file of a profile line might look like this (simplified):

Profilelength Segmentlength X-Value  Y-Value   dem-value Hektometer
0.00          0.00         -29055.52 237303.51 1402.43   hm 0.00
17.38         17.38        -29051.77 237286.54 1402.43   hm 0.17
34.77         34.77        -29048.02 237269.57 1402.43   hm 0.35
52.15         52.15        -29044.27 237252.59 1402.43   hm 0.52
....

When there's no DEM there aren't any height values, but information about the profile line can still be generated.
So the table is the same, just without DEM information.

Makes sense?

FYI: testing this case without a DEM uncovered another regression introduced by the upgrade.
If you click Qui in the dialog above you will get an error.
I've put this on my list of things to fix.

Ok, should be fixed.

[kikislater]

Ok ! But I think it's not the proper message in that case : Plot with vector only or other message will not be better ? User will show units in output ...

[wilhelmberg]

I updated the translation a33400b and changed the English version to

No (visible) raster layers! Create profile line attributes (hektometers) only?

I intentionally left the German version as is because that was explicitly requested by the sponsors of the plugin.

[kikislater]

Sounds a lot better IMO.
