fldigi-macOS-NLS

fldigi-macOS-NLS is a repository for fldigi binary files with NLS support compiled for macOS Sierra.

Here you will find fldigi-3.23.21.dmg (2017-01-30) and fldigi-3.23.22.4.dmg (2017-02-13).

Currently, fldigi includes internationalization files for Spanish (es), French (fr), Italian (it), Polish (pl), German (de) and Dutch (nl).

Important information

This repository has been created for the benefit of non-english speaking users running fldigi on macOS who want to enjoy fldigi GUI in their native language (if supported).
To enable NLS support, fldigi's source code downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/p/fldigi/fldigi was built without any modification in a macOS Sierra v10.12.3 environment.
It is possible that the fldigi binary files offered in this repository could work in earlier macOS and OS X versions, but I have not tested it; please run your own tests and let me know if it works or not.
It is possible that you will encounter some untranslated terms.
The fldigi internationalization process is a work in progress done by volunteers.
If your language is not supported by fldigi, please consider to volunteer for a translation effort to benefit all the fldigi users community.

Quick and easy how-to

Download and install EnvPane. It is an OS X preference pane for environment variables developed by Hannes Schmidt
Downlad fldigi-3.23.21.dmg (the current release) or fldigi-3.23.22.4.dmg (the latest alpha release)
Open the DMG file and copy fldigi.app to your Applications folder
In the EnvPanel preference panel, configure the variable LANGUAGE with the language you want. The possible values are: es, fr, it, pl, de and nl.
Run fldig.app and enjoy it in your language!
Do not forget to review fldigi's configuration, and make sure that the Portaudio server is active.

Keep in mind that...

If you set an unsupported language value for the LANGUAGE variable, fldigi will use english for its GUI.
Fldigi must be restarted if you change the LANGUAGE variable while fldigi is running.
If you need support for using fldigi on macOS, please join the [linuxham]https://groups.io/g/linuxham group.

Fldigi can also control a transceiver using Hamlib or RigCAT I/O, perform online or cdrom QRZ queries, log QSOs with the built-in logbook or Xlog, and send reception reports to the PSK Automatic Propagation Reporter.

The latest version can always be found at http://www.w1hkj.com/.

Visit this page for extensive documentation and an archive of XML files for transceivers supported by RigCAT.
