🌍 Translation. We are looking for translators!

[ivan-aksamentov]

We are looking to extend and improve our translations.

We are using i18next and react-i18next modules in the app. The extraction of English strings is performed with yarn i18n. The extracted strings are in packages/web/src/i18n/resources

We use GitLocalize service to perform the translation:

Step-by-step guide:

• Register with GitLocalize, for example using your GitHub account: https://gitlocalize.com
• Go to our GitLocalize repo: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819
• Click a language name from the table (other than English)
• Navigate to packages web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json file or use these direct links for some of the languages:
  • ar: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/ar/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json
  • de: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/de/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json
  • es: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/es/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json
  • fr: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/fr/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json
  • it: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/it/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json
  • ko: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/ko/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json
  • pt: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/pt/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json
  • ru: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/ru/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json
  • zh: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/zh/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json

If your language is missing, please write a message here and we will add it

• Translate the strings: look at the string in the leftmost column of the table and write the translated result into the rightmost column. Do not modify names inside double braces {{ }} - these are used in the program to substitute values, such as numbers and other strings. These names could give you a hint as to what will be substituted. Note, there might be multiple pages in this table (the pagination is in the bottom of the page) Note that there's a "Machine translation" button to get you started with some basics, but the most often automatic translation requires manual correction and rephrasing
• After you are done, Click "Create review request"
• If you have this capability, click "Create Pull Request" (otherwise write in this issue and one of the maintainers could grant you permissions)
• GitLocalize will create the pull request with translated strings so that we can integrate them into the app in the next release

Happy to help with Spanish translation if needed! Thanks!

[ivan-aksamentov]

Hi @stroudn1, very much needed!

I extracted some fresh strings, so feel free to either use GitLocalize as described above https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/es/packages/web/src/i18n/resources/en/common.json

or to simply copy the English file to Spanish:

mkdir -p packages/web/src/i18n/resources/es
cp packages/web/src/i18n/resources/{en,es}/common.json 

translate strings inside of it, and submit in a PR.

I will now add Spanish and some other languages into the dropdown.

Thanks

[ivan-aksamentov]

Okay, I submitted machine translations for currently present languages.

[natastro]

Thank you for the info @ivan-aksamentov ! I had one question, for the string "Back", is this referring to back as in anatomy or back as in moving back or going back in a page?

I looked through GitLocate and the .json files and I didn't find any missing translations so I looked through what was translated and revised if needed. Please let me know if this is incorrect and if there are strings missing translations. Thanks!

[ivan-aksamentov]

@stroudn1 Yep, everything's great.

or the string "Back", is this referring to back as in anatomy or back as in moving back or going back in a page?

back as in navigate to the previous page

Thanks a lot!

[natastro]

Sent a PR reflecting the correct meaning of 'back'. Thanks for the clarification!

By the way, I love the concept of this project! Happy to do more Spanish translations whenever you need it, thank you!

Hi, I'd be willing to do ZH translation at some point, I'm a bit busy rn but maybe in a few days?

[Fareysia]

Hello!

I'd love to do the German translation, if it's still needed. (:

[felix-khlmnn]

Hi there! I corrected a few machine-made mistakes in German and sent a request on GitLocalize.

Some scientific terms might still need to be checked, but I don't have the expertise to do so. Here's the link: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/4819/de/review/48381

@ivan-aksamentov The above gitlocalize links are broken.

[ivan-aksamentov]

@ammaraziz True. Nobody really used it anyways. I'll close this issue.
