Markor translation & localization

[gsantner]

This issue will be used to notify translators of the app. Please subscribe to this issue if you want to start translating or already translated something and want to keep the strings updated for some language.

~~You can use e.g. Stringlate to contribute translations - directly on your phone.~~ This app is now translated on Crowdin! Join the project here (free of course) and start translating!

Hi! Sorry for my silence, I was quiet busy these days. I hope to find time to finish french translation this week. The tshirt motivation may help ;)

[aaabramov]

Hi @gsantner! Would you like to translate your app to Ukrainian? I have already done it for Stringlate

[gsantner]

go for it :D

[simocosimo]

Working on the Italian translation! :)

[gsantner]

Dear translators, I've put a lot of work over the weekend (plus today) into markor. there are a lot of new features, and pretty much everything is reworked. There are too a lot of new translateable words/strings available. If you have some time, markor would be pleased to have new features translated :)

Thanks! 👍

[milouse]

Is it possible to have access to some kind of beta to better view in situation where the new strings are and what feature they describe? Maybe just put here a link to an apk? Thanks !

[gsantner]

@milouse markor-flavorGplay-release--v0.2.0.zip or on gplay in some minutes. Feedback welcome! (non-translation stuff in issue 95). APK is signed using official signature.

[milouse]

Thanks for the apk, because I don't have play services on my phone.

[luisfsr]

Ops! I won't need to translate. Thanks @tiagodanin :)

[gsantner]

Thanks everybody for adding new translations! BTW: Forget to mention that QuickNote should not be translated. And Notebook/More/QuickNote is on bottom-layout, with low amount of space, so it should be short (you will see if it fits in your language). Has time, next release push will not be these days.

[kartikarora]

I'll check that and send a patch if things are wrong, pretty soon

[kartikarora]

@gsantner Which string is Quicknote? Is it R.string.pref_summary__quicknote_filepath?

[gsantner]

QuickNote as standalone cannot be translated already, yeah it's about those strings where QuickNote is contained in the string, where the above said is one, yep

[kartikarora]

Things seem fine on my end!

[cl0ne]

@gsantner section_format and title_activity_main keys seem to be unused, what's their purpose?

[gsantner]

@cl0ne Neither of both are there in current version, if you use stringlate do an refresh

[gsantner]

hi everybody, I'm currently little working on settings and the translations. I will do an commit in some minutes. Can you please check the following if you have time?:

• Unless written in original english string - don't use the translation for file or note, use document instead
  • E.g. Browse filesystem should be still translated as Browse filesystem
  • But e.g. Create new document should not be translated to Create new file
  • Notebook can too be translated as Notebook
• Be sure to not translate QuickNote into local language, use that in your language too
• There are some new strings available to translate
• Strings that are currently outdated are tagged as needed="false" in the xml, you can skip these if you are directly editing the xml files 😄

[milouse]

Hi @gsantner you add a bunch of new string for the 2.5 version. One of them is just name="none", which may be translated by aucun or aucune wether it refers to a male (e.g. « document » or « context » in french) or female subject (e.g. « catégorie » or « note »). Can you give us the context in which this new string will be used? (I think german translation may have the same need)

[gsantner]

For selecting priority. A, B, C, .. or None of them as in Empty selection

[gsantner]

Hi everybody!

I scripted a little as I wanted to know how good and much translated the app currently is. I included all languages that my apps were yet translated in. The first column says how much strings are already translated in the particular language with the second being more precise.

Especially right-to-left languages are missing currently. Here translation contributions and feedback about usability in RTL would be very helpful.

Strings available for translation: 203

[comradekingu]

Norwegian Bokmål done https://github.com/gsantner/markor/pull/225 Language rework https://github.com/gsantner/markor/pull/226

[gsantner]

@comradekingu thanks! commented in PRs

[TiagoDanin]

PT-BR translation in progress :)

[billchenchina]

@gsantner well, something goes wrong..

zh-rTW means Chinese Traditional while zh-rCN stands for Chinese Simplified

[kartikarora]

hi-hi in progress

[gsantner]

@billchenchina No, its correct - for android resource system and matching. It had no other way up to Android 7. As minSdk is and wont go up so fast this wont likely change in near time. Its not about country here.

See below.

Why do you use Stringlate for translating? You can't use it in your desktop, requiring you to use your phone, and cloning each project to translate a few strings gets annoying after a few projects. Why not Crowdin or WebTransalteIt/Transifex?

[billchenchina]

@gsantner right, well, but your table matches wrongly.

[gsantner]

Why do you use Stringlate for translating? You can't use it in your desktop, requiring you to use your phone, and cloning each project to translate a few strings gets annoying after a few projects. Why not Crowdin or WebTransalteIt/Transifex?

On desktop you can always use Android Studio (best) or an simple plain text editor if you know what todo.

Why not crowdin,transifex etc?

I had Crowdin previously, but you always have to manage that too then, an additional dependency, one more thing that needs updates, that needs to be checked out daily for status. As a maintainer of many open projects I don't can manage/update/maintain that for every project. I want to invest my leisure time more in development instead of checking 20 projects weblate/transifex/crowdin/whatever sequentally. Usually nobody in team knows much about android ressources, strings and howto manage it. I do, and so it's usually one of my tasks.

And here comes stringlate, which allows to toally do this whole translation stuff without anything else beside source/english strings. Without any signup and login, not even GitHub (as export email also is there. So also no service to maintain and look additionally at. Also from thr other view, the translator has not to signup at every applications own brew. he can just go. And beside that, I am stringlate dev and so can make it to match Android apps localization needs, and its users.
