udiskie is a udisks2_ front-end that allows to manage removable media such as CDs or flash drives from userspace.

Its features include:

  • LUKS encrypted devices

All features can be individually enabled or disabled.

Translations

Translations by users are always welcome. There are currently two main ways to edit translations:

Weblate


I have setup a Weblate_ UI to make translation editing more convenient. This
is so far experimental. Please let me know if you encounter any issues. I may
decide remove this interface in the future because it sucks the RAM out of my
server.

Manually

The corresponding files are in the lang_ subfolder. In order to create a new translation, find out the locale name for your language, e.g. es_ES for Spanish, and create a translation file in the lang folder as follows::

cd lang
make es_ES.po

or simply copy the udiskie.pot_ to a .po file with the name of the target locale and start editing. It's also best to fill in your name and email address.

The translations may become outdated as udiskie changes. If you notice an outdated translation, please edit the corresponding .po file in submit a patch, even for very small changes.

In order to test udiskie with your locally edited translation files, type (still from the lang folder)::

export TEXTDOMAINDIR=$PWD/../build/locale
export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8

make mo
