Translation guidelines

Open vasimi opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, is there any space where I could start working on Czech guidelines for DuckDuckGo? Right now, Czech translations are inconsistent, full of archaic expressions, incorrectly used uppercase letters and other failures. I've got some experience from Mozilla, where I participate, and I'd love to make Czech DuckDuckGo better, consistent and non-confusing. But if there isn't any public space where those guidelines could be published, occasional contributors won't find them and won't follow them.

Thanks @MekliCZ - I think @alexei has set a precedent here by adding locale specific notes to the locale's directory, though there is room for alternative approaches.

There's also a general contributing doc in the works on the mechanics of PO files, tone, recurring token patterns and so on, but I don't have a hard delivery date for that unfortunately.

It would be nice to have this document.
