Slideshow is at a stable point in development and I don't expect to see many/any changes to the strings.xml for a while.

Would be nice is some bilingual people could translate the application into various languages.

Completed languages:

• English
• Lithuanian: @mobtechpd
• Italian: @laura-barluzzi
• German: @SentToDevNull
• French: @thlabbe
• Arabic: @aym3nb
• Dutch: @zephyrict, Dave
• Spanish: @uzluisf, @lbaca
• Danish: @KristianTurner
• Russian: @JekRock, @BalabanovGit , @Yahhi
• Japanese: @naofum
• Swedish: @cadii
• Chinese: @wardbradt, @Liuxi-G
• Portuguese: @MelkyFB
• Thai: @batenzar
• Ukrainian: @JekRock

Any language is appreciated, but I have installs in the following non-English countries:

• India
• Germany
• Australia :P
• Brazil
• Belarus
• Georgia
• Hong Kong
• Indonesia
• Iran
• Russia
• Thailand
• Tanzania
• Vietnam

Hi @ScreamingHawk, I'm Italian and I'm interested in translating to Italian whatever you need. Could you please guide me to the right place to add my translations?

[ScreamingHawk]

@laura-barluzzi Thanks Laura! Have a look at the contributing information I just put up here and let me know if you still have questions

[ScreamingHawk]

You can have a look at the Lithuanian translations in values-lt as an example :)

[thlabbe]

thanks to https://open-source.now.sh/ and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13908606

[ScreamingHawk]

@thlabbe Exactly why I added these labels!! I still find it really hard to find projects I can contribute to in meaningful but easy ways. This website is a fantastic idea, and I'm happy for all the help.

[JekRock]

Hi! I added a Russian translation to your app. #34

[TheRojam]

i would do German Translations

[ScreamingHawk]

@TheRojam We already have a German translation. You can find it here. If you feel there is a mistake (I don't speak German so I wouldn't know..) you can fork and create a pull request for fixes, otherwise this has already been done.

[TheRojam]

@ScreamingHawk bad german -- looks like google translate... bad grammar. where i can finde the original?

[ScreamingHawk]

@TheRojam Have a look at the contributing page if you want to fix it. Instead of creating a new file, just overwrite the existing German one.

Unfortunately I have no way of knowing if a translation is good or not so I have to put my faith in the contributors.

@mobtechpd @laura-barluzzi @SentToDevNull @thlabbe @aym3nb @zephyrict @uzluisf @KristianTurner

I'm adding another feature (#36) that has 3 additional strings values. If you could update the translations to include these new values it would be much appreciated :tada:

I'm planning to release the feature to stable in the next week or so.

(Please don't feel obligated to do these translations. It's your choice and I appreciate all the help I've received so far)

Hi!

@uzluisf did a great job with the Spanish translations, but I was wondering if it would be OK for me to make a couple of improvements, and take this as an opportunity to submit my first-ever pull request!

Any objections?

[ScreamingHawk]

@lbaca No objections. Please feel free.

As I don't speak languages other than English I can never be sure if the translations are any good, so I'm always grateful when improvements are offered.

[ScreamingHawk]

This project has been sitting around for a while, but I've made a couple updates and seen more installs than I was expecting.

A great deal of this has been thanks to all the help from the translators! Thanks so much. You guys deserve more credit than you've been given so I've added another line in the credits just for you!!

Please update the translation for your language to include the new credits.

	<string name="credits_content6">This translation of &appname; is brought to you by
		<a href="https://michael.standen.link">&author;</a>.
	</string>

Stick your name (or pseudonym) in place of &author; and change the href="<replace_this>" to be a link to your site or Github profile or mailto:[email protected].

Lithuanian: @mobtechpd Italian: @laura-barluzzi German: @SentToDevNull French: Thomas Labbe Arabic: @aym3nb Dutch: @zephyrict, Dave Spanish: @uzluisf, @lbaca Danish: @KristianTurner Russian: @JekRock, @BalabanovGit Japanese: @naofum Swedish: @cadii

For the translation with multiple contributors, can you please include both translators. Thanks

[lbaca]

I'll handle the Spanish.

@uzluisf, should I link to your GitHub page?

[aym3nb]

Thanks @ScreamingHawk

[asvskartheek]

Hi I'm Indian. There are many major languages in India, I would like to translate this into Telugu if it is helpful.

[ScreamingHawk]

@ASVS-Kartheek Yes please!

[sumanthrao]

I would like to add Indian language translations(Hindi and Kannada).Could you guide me to the concerned files?

[ScreamingHawk]

@sumanthrao Yes please! Directions are at the contributing page

[MelkyFB-zz]

I like to add Portuguese language translation, please refer to my push: https://github.com/MelkyFB/android-slideshow/commit/b981e75d4f814b388c95daddbbef40ec7d1996f1

Hi all,

I've added another setting that can be translated at your leisure. Thanks again for any help you provide with this.

Cheers, Michael
