Notes on editing `translation.json` files. (Applies to all contributors wether you know how to code or not)

When editing a translation.json file, don't change the left part of translation before the :. Only change the text between " on right side of : sign.

Example:

Some content of translation.json

Before your change (original):

...
"Hello": "Hello"
...

Good example, after your change (for example Spanish language support):

...
"Hello": "Hola"
...

Bad example of your change (left side is different than in original):

...
"Greetings": "Hola"
...

Rule of thumb, don't edit a text on a left side of : sign in translation.json file. only edit a text between " on the right side from : symbol.

When adding a new language important notes (Applies to all contributors wether you know how to code or not)

• use en/translation.json as a template.
• dont miss this part at the top of the file:

   "language name": "English",
   "language": "language",
   "language flag": "🇺🇸",
  

  • the language name is how the language calls itself. For example Russian -> Русский . So this should be: "language": "Русский" in russian
  • language flag is emoji country flag where this language is the most widespread. You can search for country flag emojis here: https://getemoji.com/ , then copy-paste emoji symbol. Example for ukrainian language this line should be: "language flag": "🇺🇦"
  • "language": "language" is how the word language translated to your target language. Example of how this look in spanish: "language": "idioma"
