Motivation

The motivation behind Ambie is to build a simple but beautiful soothing sounds player for Windows. Animations are used to enhance the experience. Only a few UI elements are available in the app. This is on purpose because for Ambie, less is more.

Translation

Ambie needs volunteer translators! To help translate, follow these instructions.

Adding a new language (requires Visual Studio 2019)

  • Create a new issue with the subject [Translation] fr-CA where you replace fr-CA with whatever language-region code you'll be translating into.
    • If an issue already exists, then don't do this step.
  • Fork and clone this repo
  • Open in VS 2019
  • In the AmbientSounds.Uwp project, find the Strings folder.
  • Create a new folder inside Strings that looks like this: en-US but using the language you're translating into.
  • Add a new Resources.resw item in that new folder
  • Copy all the existing data from Strings > en-US into your new Resources.resw
  • Translate the strings from english to your language
  • Once done, then commit > push > create pull request!

Improving an existing language (can be done with any text editor)

  • Fork and clone this repo
  • Open the the .resw file (e.g. en-US > Resources.resw) you want to edit. Choose any text editor
  • Translate
  • Commit > push > create pull request!
