Objects names in Label & Attributes Tree View should be translatable

How do I see the program interface
All names of operations in the tree must be translated.
To identify the operation by users with a different language, either icons or an internal name can be used (as done by RealThunder)

(screen from LinkDaily branch)

As far as I know, RealThunder changes to solve the topological problem just introduce the concept of an internal name. I hope after version 0.20 we will have code for Label & Attributes Tree View ready for translation.

As a variant we can make switch in parameters like "Use Internal names instead label" In this mode user will see untranslated features, like Pad, Pad001 and other.

bumping for discussion as we are close to release and this is a translation issue

I'd like to have a tool to show the name of a tree object, but rather another optional column Name than a tooltip. This would give a quick overview of all object names at once instead of clicking each item separately if you search for a special name.

[yorikvanhavre]

Default labels like Body, Origin, Pad, Wall, Window, Line, Rectangle... should definitely be translated. I think they are already, almost everywhere. It might be worth having a good look at which are not translated yet. Usually that's because the developer didn't specifically set the label, so by default it is the same as the internal name. But it's an easy fix

Related to idea described here #5547 (comment)
Kuzma30@3e3f42c
What this commt do:

1. Add variables for 3 column in TreeViev where is planed to show Internal Name.
2. Add content menu with checkbox.
   What not complete:
3. I don't know where in Tree.cpp code I can add QString::fromUtf8(Obj->getNameInDocument();
   Need help.

The presented solution seems to be close to ideal.

We have a saying in our country "I wilk jest syty, i owca cała" (The wolf is full and sheep are whole).
And this solution brought this saying to my mind.
Every user (even the most fierce malcontent) should be satisfied when they receive such a prepared "tool".

Some forum discussion about this: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=68683&p=595170&hilit=5547#p595170
The object names are in theory translatable but if I'm not mistaken only on creation, and most objects don't implement this.
I'm not sure how desirable this really is, I prefer to see the internal name directly when the object doesn't have a meaningful label and it would be a nightmare to open a file created in for example chinese in another unrelated language, even worse if you don't have a font with the characters. So IMO the current solution of translating in the label is not good, displaying internal names in the tree view in the corresponding language would be better.

Also, perhaps kuzma has learned this since then but internal names are a concept as old as freecad I believe, just look at the status bar when selecting an object in the tree view, maybe what realthunder did is to introduce that tooltip mentioning this.

@kaktusus did someone make a workaround for this?

[kaktusus]

it seems to me that nothing was happening on this topic.

[kaktusus]

The solution proposed by Aleksandr (@Kuzma30) is very cool and convenient.
I think it is worth implementing it.

[chennes]

To close this issue we really just need to figure out what it still missing -- any volunteers? @kaktusus is there someone on the translation team who could help identify what's missing?

[kaktusus]

I can take care of it personally. 😉

[kaktusus]

these objects are the action of Draft's workbench tools.

[kaktusus]

we see the label Sketch
and Tube (Part)

[kaktusus]

tools from the Part tools bar

[kaktusus]

Boolean toolbar tools (Part) also produce objects whose labels have no translations.

[kaktusus]

Currently, every workbench that creates objects in the view tree is deficient in translating the names of these objects.

[kaktusus]

Here someone else pointed out these objects. Maybe in a different context but there is an additional signal of irregularities.
