For maintainers

Adding new strings

Only English should be modified directly. To add new strings, add them ONLY to eng.ini. Crowdin will then synchronize them and the new strings will be put up for translation within Crowdin.

Versioning

  • Versions must be updated in tag-patches.yml workflow.
  • When removing a string, or adding/removing/renaming parameters, bump the major version, e.g. 2.8.0 -> 3.0.0
  • When adding new strings, bump the minor version, e.g. 2.8.0 -> 2.9.0
  • Patches are automatically tagged by GitHub Actions whenever new translations are merged from Crowdin.

Pitfalls

  • If you have issues with translation files being deleted, add a language mapping in the Crowdin config. Some issues arose with Chinese due to Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional both mapping to zho, requiring a mapping to zho-cn for simplified.
