@miurahr9 the current build does not seem to deploy the manuals in the configuration folder. The docs folder is empty and calling the help loads https://omegat.sourceforge.io/manual-snapshot/

I did

./gradlew manualZips
./gradlew installMacX64Dist

What is the expected build process to obtained the result described in https://github.com/omegat-org/omegat/pull/1277 ?

It seems a build system bug which may be happened we update Gradle version 8.13 2 month ago.
Some configuration might stops working.

Does this change fix the issue?

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

Can you tell me which gradle tasks allows me to deploy the manuals in the configuration folder?

The two tasks above do not seem to change anything.

[Hiroshi Miura]

I have tested with installDist task.

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

Ok. I see. It is not the build process that copies the manuals, obviously, but calling the manual from OmegaT, that unzips a manual from build/install/OmegaT/docs/manuals and puts it into the configuration folder.

Thank you. It works.

The only limitation to the process is that OmegaT only unzip/copies one language version and not the whole set of zipped docs.

It can be a problem when users work in a given locale but prefer a manual in a separate language.

It seems to me that it would be preferable to have OmegaT unzip/copy all the available languages into the configuration folder.

What do you think about that?
