Multilingual Support

tankobon now supports manga with multiple language translations (especially for Mangadex)!

Configuration (CLI)

First check the languages the manga supports:

$ tankobon info <shorthash> | grep languages -A10
...
languages: čeština, český jazyk (cs)
           English (en)
           Italiano (it)
           Русский (ru)
           Español (es)
           Português (pt)
           Bahasa Indonesia (id)
           język polski, polszczyzna (pl)
           Nederlands, Vlaams (nl)
           français, langue française (fr)

Next, set the language:

$ tankobon config lang <code>

where code is the two-letter ISO 639-1 id (i.e fr for français) beside the language's native name.

Configuration (GUI)

On the menu bar, click File -> Settings and change the language using the drop-down menu. Once the settings are closed, the manga currently being displayed will be reloaded to show the selected language.

Todo

• tests and docs (docs done)
• create GUI to make downloading easier, like youtube-DLG
• Add user configuration to select another language
• Searcher class (to search for manga?)
• i18n for selected language?
