ferdium
How can I test my .json translated file?
Your issue
Hello. I help to translate Ferdium on crowdin. But I don't understand how I can check the translation result locally on my Ferdium? Please tell me how to check my translation locally.
Hi @BashkaOpuhla, that is a very good question, and I am not sure if this could be done without building the whole app.
Purely speculatively (since I have not tried it) it might be possible to do it by changing some files locally depending on the OS you use. For this you should look at the files of the app, find where the translations files are located in it, and then replace the one you care about with the relevant resource there. For example, on macOS, the translation files are located in /Applications/Ferdium.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Versions/A/Resources but you would need to create the .pak file of the language you're interested in testing.
If you're ready to build the app, then when contributing to translations on crowdin, it pushes them to the l10n_develop branch, so all you need to do it checkout the develop branch, and locally merge the l10n_develop branch into it, before building the app.
