Translation

You can see a list of open and in-progress translations here.

The current translation workflow is described below. If you don't have a GitHub account, or prefer not to use it, feel free to follow steps 1 through 3 and send the translated files via email.

Otherwise, you can fork this repo, make the necessary changes, and open a pull request.

  1. Navigate to the translations folder.
  2. Add a new language section inside the info.json file. If you need help with this step, please reach out!
    {
        "label": "Native name of the language",
        "label_en": "English name of the language",
        "label_lat": "latinized native name of the language, used for sorting",
        "lang_dir": "the direction of the languaue, LTR (left-to-right) or RTL (right-to-left)",
        "code": "the ISO 639-1 language code, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes",
        "available": true, // Should the language be visible in the language picker? true or false
        "translators": [ // List of people who contributed to the translation
            {
                "name": "Person A",
                "url": "https://example.social/@person_a"
            },
            {
                "name": "Person B",
                "url": "https://example.social/@person_b"
            }
        ]
    },
  1. Update the JSON files inside the data folder for each page and selected site sections.
  2. Run npm run translate to generate translation files inside locales.

Keep in mind that the goal is to communicate the same ideas to an audience in a different culture. For example, in this sentence:

You're probably using Gmail. Or perhaps Outlook. Or Yahoo Mail.

Consider listing services that are popular in your particular country.
