v0.9.11: 你好 Tabularis
Another community-driven language lands in Tabularis.
Chinese (Simplified)
Back when I built i18n in v0.6.0, I shipped English and Italian. Spanish came shortly after thanks to kconfesor's contribution in PR #30. Now GTLOLI has done the same for Chinese (Simplified) — a full translation, 879 keys, merged in PR #103.
So Tabularis now supports English, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese (Simplified). As before, the app picks your system locale automatically, or you can set "zh" in config.json.
Two out of four languages came from contributors. That's the kind of thing I was hoping for when I made the i18n files plain JSON with no build step. If you want to add your language, the bar is low — just copy one of the existing files and translate.
PostgreSQL Array Types
If you had integer[] or text[] columns in PostgreSQL, the grid would show raw strings and edits were broken. Fixed now — array columns parse correctly, and writing back works through JSON-to-ARRAY literal conversion. You edit ["a", "b", "c"] in the cell, the driver generates ARRAY['a','b','c'].
All Rust-side, no UI changes.
Inline Editing for Query Results
Running a SELECT in the editor used to give you a read-only grid. Now, if the query hits a single table, you can edit rows inline — same double-click behavior as table browsing.
Joins, aggregations, subqueries stay read-only. There's no safe way to map an edited cell back to a source row in those cases, so I'm not pretending there is.
JSON Copy and CSV Delimiter
- You can copy selected rows as JSON now. Set it as your default copy format in Settings if you want.
- The CSV delimiter is configurable — semicolons, tabs, pipes, whatever you need.
What's Next
I've been on the UI extensions branch for a few weeks, testing with the JSON Viewer and Google Sheets plugins. The two open items from the v0.9.10 post — error surfaces and theme tokens — are almost done.
I expect to ship UI extensions next week. After that, plugins won't be limited to backend drivers anymore — they'll be able to put components directly in the Tabularis UI.
v0.9.11 is available now. Update via the in-app updater, or download from the releases page.
