* Navweb: multi-language configuration. * Navweb: multi-language exec, navigation menu, css * Navweb: make css responsive for multi-language * Language menu must work with a non english lang * Avoid to copy common files for each language * Use cms and archive in multi-languages * Add the default index. * Some cleanup. * Images: performances improvement with image_size Need to use the magic library (python-magic, python3-magic, ...) If this library don't exist on the system, continue to use the Gdk method. - force archive if we use CMS - remove some unused code - some strings are not translatable - stay on the same page when you change language - add image in the ancestor tree for all levels and not for the first 5 performances: - copy images and thumbs only for the first language * Some minor corrections and performances test * Update comments for methods and functions * Narweb: add show tags option * Try to translate tags and suppress the colon (:) * Narweb: integrate of webcal for multilang use For each lang, we use the related calendar if it exists * Death string only translated for the locale lang * set correct url for extrapage. * Add optional toggle for html sections * show birth and death date if close option selected * No background in references section with Mainz css * Remove photo from list incompatible with multilang * Add the first photo to the place page marker * Add associated persons. * Solves 'undefined' in map popup. * Calendar: Set the background for the current day * Thumbnail align problem with long description. * Set the contact page date to the note date * Add a scroll to top button. * Increase the nb of generations since we can scroll * Difficult to see the "go to top" icon. * Better management for the toggle switch
The Gramps Project ( https://gramps-project.org ) 
We strive to produce a genealogy program that is both intuitive for hobbyists and feature-complete for professional genealogists.
Please read the COPYING file first.
Please read the INSTALL file if you intend to build from source.
Requirements
The following packages MUST be installed in order for Gramps to work:
- Python 3.3 or greater - The programming language used by Gramps. https://www.python.org/
- GTK 3.12 or greater - A cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. http://www.gtk.org/
- pygobject 3.12 or greater - Python Bindings for GLib/GObject/GIO/GTK+ https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject
The following three packages with GObject Introspection bindings (the gi packages)
-
cairo 1.13.1 or greater - a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. http://cairographics.org/
-
Pycairo 1.13.3 or greater - GObject Introspection bindings for cairo. https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo
-
pango - a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. http://www.pango.org/
-
pangocairo - Allows you to use Pango with Cairo http://www.pango.org/
-
librsvg2 - (SVG icon view) a library to render SVG files using cairo. http://live.gnome.org/LibRsvg
-
xdg-utils - Desktop integration utilities from freedesktop.org
-
bsddb3 - Python bindings for Oracle Berkeley DB https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bsddb3/
-
sqlite3 - Python bindings for SQLite Database library
The following package is needed for full translation of the interface to your language:
- language-pack-gnome-xx
Translation of GTK elements to your language, with xx your language code; e.g. for Dutch you need language-pack-gnome-nl. The translation of the Gramps strings is included with the gramps source.
The following packages are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to be installed:
- osmgpsmap
Used to show maps in the geography view. It may be osmgpsmap, osm-gps-map, or python-osmgpsmap, but the Python bindings for this must also be present, so gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0. Without this the GeoView will not be active, see https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category
-
Graphviz
Enable creation of graphs using Graphviz engine. Without this, three reports cannot be run. Obtain it from: http://www.graphviz.org or try graphviz and python3-pygraphviz from your packages.
-
PyICU
Improves localised sorting in Gramps. In particular, this applies to sorting in the various views and in the Narrative Web output. It is particularly helpful for non-Latin characters, for non-English locales and on MS Windows and Mac OS X platforms. If it is not available, sorting is done through built-in libraries. PyICU is fairly widely available through the package managers of distributions. See http://pyicu.osafoundation.org/ (These are Python bindings for the ICU package. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyICU/)
-
Ghostscript
Used by Graphviz reports to help create PDF's
The following packages are optional:
- gtkspell
Enable spell checking in the notes. Gtkspell depends on enchant. A version of gtkspell with gobject introspection is needed, so minimally version 3.0.0
- rcs
The GNU Revision Control System (RCS) can be used to manage multiple revisions of your family trees. See info at https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Archiving_a_Family_Tree Only rcs is needed, NO python bindings are required
- PIL
Python Image Library (PILLOW) is needed to crop images and also to convert non-JPG images to JPG so as to include them in LaTeX output. (For Python3 a different source may be needed, python-imaging or python-pillow or python3-pillow)
- GExiv2
Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your media. Gramps needs version 0.5 or greater. See https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion#GExiv2_for_Image_metadata
- ttf-freefont
More font support in the reports
- geocodeglib
A library use to associate a geographical position (latitude, longitude) to a place name. This is used if you already have osmgpsmap installed. If installed, when you add or link a place from the map, you have a red line at the end of the table for selection. Debian, Ubuntu, ... : gir1.2-geocodeglib-1.0 Fedora, Redhat, ... : geocode-glib openSUSE : geocode-glib ArchLinux : geocode-glib ...
- fontconfig
Python bindings of fontconfig are required for displaying genealogical symbols
