This is a rework of the BigBlueButton German translations to follow best practices
for inclusive language. Changes are in de_changes.json. You can apply them to
the upstream version of BBB with the following steps (you need python3 installed):
# Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/ichdasich/bbb-de-diverse-language
cd bbb-de-diverse-language
# Make script executable:
chmod +x ./update_json.py
# create new json file
# Usage: ./update_json.py [changes_file] [input_file] [output_file]
./update_json.py ./de_changes.json /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/locales/de.json ./de_new.json
cat ./de_new.json > /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/locales/de.json
You can also put code similar to this in your apply-config.sh to apply these changes on every BBB upgrade:
echo "- Updating German translation"
cp /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/locales/de.json /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-conf/de.json
rm -f /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-conf/de_changed.json
/opt/bbb-tools/update_json.py /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-conf/de_changes.json /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-conf/de.json /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-conf/de_changed.json
cat /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-conf/de_changed.json > /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/locales/de.json
A restart of BBB is not necessary for the change to take effect, but the change will have to be reapplied upon updates until bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton#12294 has been resolved.
