Default strings in Sigil

antst · 07-25-2024, 04:19 AM

When creating TOC for epub3, Sigil creates default heading for it "Table of contents". How to change this string? I do not create ebooks in english language.

1. Change Preferences > Language > Default Language for Metadata to your language for ebook.
2. Create/Update your TOC.
3. Add Semantics for nav.xhtml and DISABLE for TOC.
4. Add Semantics for nav.xhtml and ENABLE for TOC.

It all depends on whether Sigil has a translation for your target language anyway.

You can also change the language of the user interface to make using Sigil easier.

The following translations are available in Sigil (in no particular order):

Spanish
Italian
Dutch
Russian
Ukrainian
German
Finish
Japanese
Polish
Serbian
Chinese (Simplified as in China)
English
French
Korean
Portuguese (as in Brazil)
Turkish
Chinese (Traditional as in Taiwan).

If your language is not supported and you would be interested in adding support for it to Sigil see the sigil project in Transifex.

And after building your table of contents, you can of course directly edit the Nav to change that string to anything you like.

Thank you.
My language is not supported. I will take a look at the Transifex.
