I thought that I could do translation but once the file CliClient/locales/fr_FR.po
modified (with poedit), the build does not update the strings I modified.
I follwed that
Building the tools
Before building any of the applications, you need to build the tools:
cd Tools
npm install
Building the Electron application
cd ElectronClient/app
rsync --delete -a ../../ReactNativeClient/lib/ lib/
npm install
yarn dist
then I run the version I have in dist folder but I dont have my translations
Right, that’s because you would need to run node Tools/build-translations.js
to update all the relevant files. That would basically create some JSON files, which is what the apps use for translation.

I may have two left hand because I cant run it

if I really need the missing module, npm search sprintf-js
displays a lot of things, which one should I install?
I did
npm install sprintf-js
aptitude install translate-toolkit
then modified the file CliClient/locales/fr_FR.po
but the process of compiling, add '# ~' in front of any translation string I added.
I'm reading Tools/build-translations.js
to try to understand at wat moment my added translation are removed but it's not clear yet
edit: I noticed that the translation were grabbed from the github repo, so I replaced in
function poFileUrl(locale) {
// return 'https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/master/CliClient/locales/' + locale + '.po';
return 'CliClient/locales/' + locale + '.po';
}
In the meantime I spotted a typo in that file too ...
Once I could find how the process works I hope submit a PR
