About translation contribute

Open bnk159hair opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

Hello, we are Korean university students. This project is an area we are interested in, so we would like to contribute. We want to contribute through the Korean translation of the project. Is it okay to contribute?

Yes. Translation contributions are welcome and are accepted. You might be interested in contributing translations to the Minetest engine too https://github.com/minetest/minetest

In short:

  • To translate the engine itself, there is a Weblate project here: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/minetest/minetest/
  • To translate Minetest Game's content, you can take each template.txt in a locale folder and rename it with the language code (e.g. default.ko.tr) and then translate the contents to the right of the =

Note that for Korean specifically, it's not possible to test the translations in-game until minetest/minetest#10620 is merged (and you download a development build).

Thank you for your answer. My team will participate in the translation.

Do you still want to do the translation? There will be a release soon (but the language templates still need to be updated, see #2816).
