How to translate

#1

Post by Lobby »

Translations are organized via a public repository which you can find here: Public Translation Repository

For every supported language there is a dedicated directory called values or values-*language code*, respectively. Each of these folders contains a values.xml file that holds the translation.

English and German translations are kept up to date and can be used as a reference for other translations.

How translation works:
The values.xml file contains lines of the form:

Code: Select all

<string name="...">"My translation"</string>
Only translate the text between the tags (in this example, "My translation"). Special characters such as \n may be used to indicate a new line.

Contributions that improve or update existing translations can be submitted through a pull request in the repository.

If you are interested in adding a language that is not currently supported, please contact us before starting the translation, as support for additional languages is considered individually.
