Translating reel2bits
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Thank you for reading this! If you want to help translate reel2bits,
|
|
you found the proper place :)
|
|
|
|
Translation workflow
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Once you're logged-in on the Weblate instance, you can suggest translations. Your suggestions will then be reviewed
|
|
by the project maintainer or other translators to ensure consistency.
|
|
|
|
Guidelines
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Respecting those guidelines is mandatory if you want your translation to be included:
|
|
|
|
- Use gender-neutral language and wording
|
|
|
|
Submitting a new language
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Pull the latest version of ``master``
|
|
2. Create a new branch, e.g ``git checkout -b translations-new-fr-ca``
|
|
3. Add your new language code and name in ``front/src/locales.js``. Use the native language name, as it is what appears in the UI selector.
|
|
4. Create the ``po`` file from template:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
export LOCALE=fr_CA # replace with your actual locale code
|
|
mkdir -p front/locales/$LOCALE/LC_MESSAGES
|
|
msginit --no-wrap --no-translator --locale=$LOCALE --input=front/locales/app.pot --output-file=front/locales/$LOCALE/LC_MESSAGES/app.po
|
|
|
|
5. Then commit your changes, push, and submit a pull request on the ``master`` branch
|
|
|
|
Requesting a new language
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you cannot submit a new language yourself, you can request it by opening an issue here:
|
|
https://github.com/reel2bits/reel2bits/issues
|
|
|
|
Extracting messages from source
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
We offer a script to update existing ``po`` and ``pot`` files with new translations
|
|
from the source code. This action should be run regularly, and in particular before
|
|
lots of translation work is expected (e.g a few weeks before a new release), or when
|
|
the UI code changes a lot. Otherwise, translators end up translating some obsolete messages,
|
|
or not translationg new messages.
|
|
|
|
1. `Lock the translations on weblate <https://weblate.sigpipe.me/projects/reel2bits/frontend/#repository>`_ (``Lock`` button in the sidebar). This will prevent translators from working, and help prevent potential conflicts in the source code
|
|
2. `Commit and push changes from weblate <https://weblate.sigpipe.me/projects/reel2bits/frontend/#repository>`_ (``Commit`` and ``Push`` buttons in the sidebar)
|
|
3. Pull ``master`` in your local git repository to ensure you have the latest version of the translations
|
|
4. Create a dedicated branch with ``git checkout -b translations-integration``
|
|
5. Extract the translations with ``cd front && ./scripts/i18n-extract.sh``. This will update all ``po`` files as necessary
|
|
6. Review, commit and push the changes, then open a merge request on the ``master`` branch
|
|
7. When the PR is merged, `Unlock the translations on weblate <https://weblate.sigpipe.me/projects/reel2bits/frontend/#repository>`_ (``Unlock`` button in the sidebar).
