While Stripe doesn't support monthly donations, you can still become a sponsor! Simply make a one-time donation equivalent to 12 months of support, and you'll gain access to the corresponding sponsoring tier. It's an easy and flexible way to contribute.

If you are not sure or not able to commit to a regular donation, but still want to help the project, you can do a one-time donation, of any amount.

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate one time only.

You can support FreeCAD by sponsoring it as an individual or organization through various platforms. Sponsorship provides a steady income for developers, allowing the FPA to plan ahead and enabling greater investment in FreeCAD. To encourage sponsorship, we offer different tiers, and unless you choose to remain anonymous, your name or company logo will be featured on our website accordingly.

from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed here, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.

from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.

from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.

from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Your name or company name and logo displayed on this page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-time donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate each month.

Please inform your forum name or twitter handle as a notein your transfer, or reach to us, so we can give you proper credits!

Crowdin Scripts

Managing Translations for FreeCAD

FreeCAD uses a 3rd party translation service called Crowdin to manage translations.

There are 3 scripts in

  1. updatets.py (github source)
  2. updatecrowdin.py (github source)
  3. updatefromcrowdin.py (github source)

Notes

  • These scripts are run from the root of the FreeCAD/ directory.
  • In order for these scripts to work one needs to have the valid FreeCAD Crowdin API key placed in their ~/.crowdin-freecad file. (For security reasons, only available to people with admin rights on the crowdin FreeCAD project)
  • Currently these tools are Python2 compatible.

updatets.py

The updatets.py script will create the .ts files in your local FreeCAD/ directory. It generates .ts files (Qt Translation Source File).

It is invoked with: python2 updatets.py

updatecrowdin.py

The updatecrowdin.py script pushes changes to Crowdin (3rd party translation crowdsource translation service) from your local FreeCAD/ directory. The script currently supports 4 arguments:

  • updatecrowdin.py status prints a status of the translations
  • updatecrowdin.py update updates crowdin the current version of .ts files found in the source code
  • updatecrowdin.py build builds a new downloadable package on crowdin with all translated strings
  • updatecrowdin.py download downloads the latest build

updatefromcrowdin.py

The updatefromcrowdin.py script pulls changes from crowdin to your local FreeCAD/ directory.

To send latest strings to crowdin

  • Only tested on linux
  • You need a .credentials file in your /home/YourUser directory. That file is a simple text file containing only one line, which is the API key that you get on https://crowdin.com/project/freecad/settings#api (only for admins)
  • Make sure your repository is clean (git pull, git stash if needed)
  • cd /path/to/freecad-source-code/src/Tools
  • python updatets.py (will fill all the .ts files found in the source with the lastest strings)
  • python updatecrowdin.py update (will send the ts files to crowdin. Crowdin will only update strings that are new)
  • cd ../.. (go back to the source code root folder)
  • git checkout . (undo all the changes to the .ts files, no reason to commit them right now as they are still untranslated)

To merge latest translations from crowdin

  • Only tested on linux
  • You need a .credentials file in your /home/YourUser directory. That file is a simple text file containing only one line, which is the API key that you get on https://crowdin.com/project/freecad/settings#api (only for admins)
  • Make sure your repository is clean (git pull, git stash if needed)
  • cd /path/to/freecad-source-code/src/Tools
  • python updatecrowdin.py build (will create a zip on crowdin side with all the files, can take a while.. This step can also be done on the crowdin website)
  • python updatecrowdin.py download (will download a freecad.zip file in this directory)
  • mv freecad.zip ~ move the zip file to your home dir, to avoid accidentally committing it later)
  • (optional) edit updatefromcrowdin.py script and check that the default_languages contain all the ones you want (basically all that are at more than 50%)
  • python updatefromcrowdin.py -z /home/YourUser/freecad.zip
  • cd ../.. (go back to the source code root folder)
  • if something went wrong or you are unsure, clean everything with git checkout .
  • if everything looks ok (git status), commit with git add . && git commit
  • Create a PR on FreeCAD

To generate a translation file from the website

  • Clone the homepage repository
  • cd /path/to/FreeCAD-homepage
  • xgettext --from-code=UTF-8 -o lang/homepage.pot *.php
  • Update the \"homepage.po\" on crowdin website manually, using the lang/homepage.pot file

To update the translations of the website

  • Get the freecad.zip file either by downloading it from the crowdin website or following instructions above (python updatecrowdin.py download)
  • cd /path/to/FreeCAD-homepage
  • Make sure your repository is clean (git pull, git stash if needed)
  • python updatefromcrowdin.py -z /path/to/freecad.zip
  • if something went wrong or you are unsure, clean everything with git checkout .
  • if everything looks ok (git status), commit with git add . && git commit
  • Create a PR on FreeCAD-Homepage
  • After the PR is merged, one of the admins will ftp push to the webhost
