Jamulus Website

This is the home of the Jamulus website. The goal of this page is to explain what Jamulus is and how to use it.

Adding pictures

Unfortunately GitHub doesn't enable picture upload on the normal md editor. Therefore you can attempt to open an issue, upload your image, copy the link to the page you want to integrate it into and then don't submit the issue. See this answer on stack overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26601810

Contribute a translation

Before translating, please have a look at the CONTRIBUTING.md file to get familiar with our translation process. Afterwards, check if there's already a discussion thread for your language here: https://github.com/jamulussoftware/jamulus/discussions and participate in it

Translations are handled by the Polyglot Jekyll Plug-in. If you want to translate a file, you must first know where it is located on this repo:

  • General translations (especially for the wiki) can be found in _includes/wiki/yourlanguagecode folder. These files must be translated in order not to break the site.
  • The homepage (https://jamulus.io/) is located in the repo root and named 1-[langcode]-index.html
  • The wiki content can be found in the wiki/ folder. Make sure to read the README.md file in the wiki/ folder.
  • The navigation and general translations can be found in the _data/yourlanguagecode folder

To translate a file, please duplicate it and change the lang: attribute to the language you want to translate it to. If you want to translate an English page to German, you need to change the lang: "en" attribute to lang: "de". This attribute can be found at the top of the file in the front matter (right at the top in between the ---). Do not change the permalink attribute (It internally links pages with the same content but different languages and enables polyglot to know which page to change to if you change the language via the language picker.)

Adding a new language

If you want to add a new language, you must follow the instructions on the polyglot site and add the folders/files.

  • Make sure to add your language to the _config.yml file (in the languages array.)
  • At least, the main includes for the wiki (see _includes/wiki/) have to be translated.
  • The navigation and general site-wide strings (see the _data/ folder) and the homepage (see the 1-index.html file in the root of this repo) should be translated.

Have a look at the README.md files in these folders.
