Hello, I am a Chinese user, I am Chinese language translation tools for the Chinese language how to use the default tool, thank you!

TIG

Do you understand how to make a 'lingvo' file ?
Here an overview...
Find your 'locale' id, in the Ruby Console thus:
Sketchup.get_locale.upcase
For Chinese it'll probably be
' ZH-CN'
Make a copy of the TIG-SlicerEN-US.lingvo file that is in the TIG-Slicer subfolder, within the Plugins folder.
Name this copied file to match that, thus:
TIG-Slicer**ZH-CN**.lingvo
Edit that new lingvo file using a plain-text editor like Notepad++.exe.
A lingvo file contains words or phrases; one 'set' per line.
In the English version the original word or phrase, and its translation are the same.
There is a special symbol separating the two parts
' <==>'.
For example...
Slicing tool**<==>**Slicing tool
Make your translation for the word or phrase.
Replace the right-hand version.
For example in 'Simplified Chinese' you could use something like...
Slicing tool**<==>**切片工具
Repeat your translations as desired...
Save the lingvo file.
When Sketchup restarts it should find this new lingvo file, and because it matches your locale it will translate any English matching words or phrases that it finds, using your locale's translations... Any words that you do not translate remain the same; so if you leave the line as
Slicer5<==>**Slicer5**
Your menu items etc will then say ' Slicer5' even though they will use Chinese translations for other words you might have given translations to...
Tip: You might need to 'convert' the lingvo file to a UFT-8 encoded type, to get the Chinese characters to be correctly displayed You can easily do that with Notepad++.exe.

Please explain ore clearly - I don't fully understand you...
Are you getting error messages in the Ruby Console ?
What is failing ?
Is this after you have messed with a lingvo file ?
Does it work if you temporarily remove the lingvo file from the subfolder ?
Which version worked ?
Which version fails ?

Version 5.11, can not be achieved slice tile, without any prompting!

Let me try to recast what you said, as I understand it...
Version 5.11, does not make slices, without any error messages...
If has a toolbar and menu items, and you have a saved SKP, with just one group selected, and you run the tool... what happens ???
Because it is working successfully for me [and many hundreds of other users] then it suggests that you have something wrong in your installation.
Please try reinstalling everything.
Ensure that there are no copies of the files that should be in the tool's subfolder inside the Plugins folder by mistake.
There should be two files in the Plugins folder
Slicer.rb deBabelizer.rb
and a subfolder named
TIG-Slicer
containing
TIG-Slicer.rb
and the 8 PNG image files for the toolbar buttons
and the 6 lingvo files...

I've noticed an error with the 'Portuguese' lingvo file that was recently supplied with v5.11
It's incorrectly named 'PO' and it contained no translations anyway !
Here's the correct 'PT' version.TIG-SlicerPT-lingvo.zipExtract it from the zip.
If you want Portuguese translations, please remove the incorrect 'PO' version and add this correct 'PT' one to the tool's subfolder. If your 'locale' is not 'PT' you can always change that part of the name to suit...

Translated into Chinese, it can not achieve the flattening function, the following documents attached to the Chinese language, thank you! !

OK.
What you are saying is that when using a Chinese lingvo file the 'Flattening' function fails.
If you change the translation for the 'Flattening' parts of the lingvo back to the original file's text, does it then work ?
If so, then it suggests that some 'characters' in your translation are not working properly.
Did you use the 'UFT-8' option when saving the Chinese lingvo file ?
The translate strings go inside " " in the code, so you can't include any " in the translation, as it breaks the way the code reads it in...
Can you try alternative 'wording' ?

I assume by 'fold' you mean 'combine into a single submenu'. [Do you use Google Translate?]
To make that you'll need to recode the menu making part of the script.
Here is how to do it.
the original code [around line#669] looks like this:

  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item(cmd)
  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item(cmds)
  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item(cmda)
  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item(cmdx)

This is it recoded with an extra line to make the submenu within the 'Plugins' menu; and the other four lines adjusted to add their commands into that rather than directly into the 'Plugins' menu:

  submenu=UI.menu("Plugins").add_submenu(S5+"...")
  submenu.add_item(cmd)
  submenu.add_item(cmds)
  submenu.add_item(cmda)
  submenu.add_item(cmdx)

The 'S5' constant is the deBabelized string for 'Slicer5', used as the name for the submenu plus '...'.
If users would prefer this method I could incorporate it into a new release.
So feedback please...

This can shorten the length of plug-ins drop-down menu!

The more facets that the sliced object has the smoother the edges of the slices...

Could you post your Chinese lingvo file [zipped] for other fellow users to benefit from - it's only fair - the rest of the tool is freely shared...
