Add translations to to not translated elements

Open ghost opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Steps to reproduce

  1. Where are you starting? What can you see?

I see some important app elements, such as User Settings button, secure backup/recovery wizard and some other strings always use English, no matter which language is selected.

  1. What do you click?

All basic menus frequently requested by users

Outcome

What did you expect?

To have an option to localize all strings

What happened instead?

I don't see corresponding entries for these localized strings.

How can I add translations to those elements that are not translated? I would be glad to commit these changes for 5 different languages.

Hello! We are aware that some places of the app are not localised, however to provide a bit more context, could you provide the screenshots of the views where you are experiencing this? So we can take note if there are other views we are not aware of, for this issue.

I'll provide screenshots and more strings a bit later. Most frequently used not translated elements are:

  • Menu - User Settings button
  • Spaces app section
  • When prompting for a session confirmation, only "Enter mnemonic passphrase" button is translated. However the instruction for using another device to verify the session is not translated

I have another question. Can I conribute missing translations here: https://translate.element.io/projects/element-android/element-app/ru/ If yes, should I suggest or just save them? I'm ready to add many of them for several locales.

I started to translate some of untranslated strings here: https://translate.element.io/projects/element-android/element-app/ru/

It's for Android. I was not able to find a dedicated iOS thread on https://translate.element.io, so I can only hope these changes will be applied to iOS. If there is any other way I can be useful to speed-up the translation process for iOS, please somebody let me know, I'm ready to spend time on it.

Android is almost fully translated, but iOS is around 60/40
