Waterfox Localization

Welcome to the Waterfox localization repository! This repository contains the Fluent (.ftl) files used for translating the Waterfox browser into various languages.

Contributing Translations via Weblate

We use Weblate, an open-source web-based translation tool, to manage our localization efforts. Here's how you can contribute:

Getting Started with Weblate

  1. Visit our Weblate project page at https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/waterfox/.
  2. Create an account or log in if you already have one.
  3. Choose the language you want to translate to from the list of available languages.

Using Weblate

  1. Browse Translations:

    • After selecting a language, you'll see a list of files or components that need translation.
    • Click on a file to start translating.
  2. Translate Strings:

    • You'll see the original text (usually in English) and a box where you can enter your translation.
    • Type your translation and click 'Save'.
  3. Use Translation Memory:

    • Weblate will suggest translations based on previous work. Use these if they fit the context.
  4. Add Comments:

    • If you're unsure about a translation or need clarification, use the comment feature to discuss with other translators.
  5. Review Translations:

    • You can also review existing translations and suggest improvements.

Best Practices

  • Stay true to the original meaning while making the translation natural in the target language.
  • Be consistent with terminology across the project.
  • Pay attention to placeholders (like {$variable}) and make sure to include them in your translations.
  • If you're unsure about a translation, it's better to leave it untranslated than to guess.
