NEED TRANSLATORS !!

EragonJ opened this issue 9 years ago · 45 comments

Hi all, if you are willing to help to make Kaku better, the easiest way right now is to use your mother tongue to help us translate Kaku in your own language ! Thanks to Transifex, we already got our own free and public account for Kaku down below :

https://www.transifex.com/kaku/desktop-app/

If you are willing to help us, feel free to click the green button on that page to join as a contributor! I already imported all translated strings to the service at first, but there are some outdated strings which are still in English when I am trying to introduce new features. So if possible, please help to go through your own mother tongue and translate the outdated ones to new ones !

You help would be appreciated a lot !! With that service, if there is any change in en.ini, you will be notified even if you are not using github if you do have turn on the mail notifications for that !

In order to appreciate your help, I'll list your name in Kaku forever for the great help you had provided ! Thanks again guys :)

Answer 4 · 2016-02-20T14:54:33.000Z

I input some french words, will continue if it's good

Answer 5 · 2016-02-20T16:35:00.000Z

I could do the Finnish translation, but is it necessary to use that service? Creating a new account is bothersome. I've translated one popular program in the past and the dev just asked me to translate the local files and send back them via email.

Answer 6 · 2016-02-21T02:45:47.000Z

@FromBabylon thanks man, feel free to upload your translations to the service there.

@reddit-is-fun the reason why I use an online service is because it would be helpful for me to control the progress of localizations. If there is anyone uploading the untranslated strings in en.ini, then all contributors on the service will be notified for that change (by mail) and you guys can jump back anytime to translate that and this is the main pros I need.

With this, translators don't have to be bound with GitHub (sometimes they don't have the GitHub account, but you are special and you have one haha). So if you are afraid of disclosing your personal information to some 3rd party services, feel free to use a one-time disposable email account to register the account !

Hope this clarify why I use that service ! THanks :)

Answer 7 · 2016-02-21T10:17:41.000Z

Don't know how it works, I just 'add suggestion' for the file en.ini. How to upload ? :$

Answer 8 · 2016-04-08T13:54:12.000Z

I'm french and I know the english so I can make the french translation

Answer 9 · 2016-04-08T14:22:42.000Z

Answer 24 · 2016-09-04T14:15:25.000Z

Arabic translation done.

IMPORTANT:
Arabic is RTL language so you've to make Kaku switch from LTR -> RTL whenever the user selects Arabic language.

Answer 25 · 2016-09-05T16:26:28.000Z

@mbnoimi thanks for helping Arabic ... but I do have a bad time fighting with RTL languages when I was working in Mozilla ... LOL Life is struggling and it's not that easy to make everything working well for RTL languages without changing tons of UI.

All RTL languages will be merged into source for sure, but before having enough resources to handle all those details, the view will still be displayed in LTR. If there is anyone wants to help this part, feel free to help :)

Answer 26 · 2016-09-05T18:05:14.000Z

@EragonJ I'd like to help you but unfortunately I don't like node.js because I'm Qt developer.

In Qt switching RTL/LTR is very easy using setLayoutDirection() for parent widget then all the children will appear as you want.. VOILA! this is Qt

Answer 27 · 2016-09-05T18:12:50.000Z

@EragonJ Ignoring RTL language will be really a stupid thing. You'll know the volume of the community you're ignoring after reading about RTL languages!

Answer 28 · 2016-09-06T02:16:26.000Z

@mbnoimi it's an open source project, feel free to patch :)

Answer 29 · 2016-09-13T12:03:37.000Z

I finished the french translation , some words was still in English :)

Answer 30 · 2016-09-13T15:24:24.000Z

Answer 31 · 2016-09-16T22:19:53.000Z

Hi guys, is someone already working on spanish translations? I would like to help with it.

Answer 32 · 2016-09-19T01:22:05.000Z

@taniadaniela https://github.com/EragonJ/Kaku/blob/master/src/locales/metadata.json we already have Spanish translation, but it's still welcome that you can be part of the community and go register one account in transifex to help us translate following new sentences :) thanks !

Answer 38 · 2016-12-14T02:29:45.000Z

@naphthalene thanks !! ping me when you are done :)

Answer 39 · 2017-02-17T04:59:16.000Z

@EragonJ do you have a validation system for multiple propositions? I just finished the review of french.

Can be merged "as it is". But after validation of multiple propositions, it can be safely merged 😉 😄

@EragonJ it's my second mother language 😉
