Translate Addictive Community using our new i18n tool!

[brunnopleffken]

1. Go to this link: https://poeditor.com/join/project/8K9tfyp8T6
2. Select your language (or add a new one) and join the project
3. In the project's dashboard, select your language:
4. Start translating! On the left you'll see the original string in English as reference and the namespace. On the right is your work space. Just write the translated string and press TAB.

As you all know, those %s and %d are variables. Don't change it or remove it!

Good work, Brunno.
I will pop in at POEditor.com later today. Or tomorrow.
I already have an account.

[zalexstudios]

Very nice!
I'm already working!
Thanks!

[zalexstudios]

I translated everything!

[brunnopleffken]

@zalexstudios Really? That's awesome! I'll see it, and merge to this repository.

[brunnopleffken]

And by the way, feel free to put your own idiomatic expressions or synonyms when necessary. Don't restrict yourself to literal translations. For example, in Portuguese there's no single word for "case-sensitive", so I have to write "differentiate capital and lowercase letters". 😝

[zalexstudios]

Ok! Start translation to Chineese lng. it's take a lot of time!

[brunnopleffken]

@zalexstudios No problems! Take your time. ;)

And by the way, I already committed the translations and modified both the installer and Admin CP to manage the JSON files! Just git pull/clone and reinstall Addictive Community, and you'll see your translation in action.

Then you can navigate through it, check if everything is OK.
I already made some changes in pt_BR because some terms were too long, breaking the layout.

[zalexstudios]

Hi! In file: kernel/Html.php
This string : $template .= "<li class="label">Pages:";
This word is not in the translated files!
Translation to Russian by hand :-)

[zalexstudios]

All is OK!
Has corrected some words. When answering a new topic, the field is an attachment. There is a button "Upload". In which file is this line? Need translate.
Corrected file i'l send to Brunno Email.

[brunnopleffken]

Nice! Thanks for your report.

About missing translations, I need to create the key in POEditor, so the new field appears in every language (because we must add the missing translation also in en, pt-br, ru, sv, etc.) and change de .phtml file to use the __("translation.key") function. Maybe... I don't know, HAHAHA. A new issue just to report missing translation keys?

@halojoy @xQuByte
Translations were stucked. Yesterday I upgraded the POEditor to their cheapest plan ($15) and now we have up to 3000 strings and I think now you can proceed without any trouble.

[halojoy]

I finally visited POEditor.com after you flushed swedish.
Now I have translated 3 pages out of the 18.
It is really a lot of work. But I think we can do it.

The translation to swedish will not be 100% perfect.
It is a bit like being blind when one can not see the proper context for the phrase.
But most of it will do.

[brunnopleffken]

Indeed. Now we're unable to check the translation in real-time.
The only way you have to check the term's context is this:

I kept the first JSON node as the controller name.

But don't worry! When your translation is ready, I'll merge it so you can review it. Actually POEditor has integration with GitHub but I still don't now how it works (does it exports directly to the repository?), so need to explore it with caution: I don't want to mess up everything.

[halojoy]

Got the error message:
'All strings are used. Please contact the project owner'

[brunnopleffken]

I've downgraded the plan to 'Free' until we find a better solution than this. 🙄

I mean... It's nice because it's collaborative and you can edit the entries very fast, but there's a LOT of entries (and there's more to come, because the article module is already in development) and as you said before: you're out of context, unable to see the actual result. If you want it, you need to download the JSON file, replace it in localhost and then refresh the page. If it's incorrect: edit in POEditor, download it, replace it, and then refresh the page again.

Maybe this kind of system may work right into the Admin CP: using JS to automatically save the changes (the same way POEditor does: write, TAB, write, TAB), refresh the page and yaay! It's right there!

But right now i'm a little busy with the 'Articles' stuff.

[arcestia]

I can help with Chinese and Indonesian.
i fluently speak some of asian lng

[brunnopleffken]

@arcestia Nice! This is just great!
As I said, I've downgraded the plan in POEditor to their free plan. So, the limit of strings has reached.

But...

If you and @halojoy want to proceed with the translation maybe I can upgrade the plan just for this month so you can finish the translation. So they'll be released yet in the next version (v0.13).

[arcestia]

no need i can download the english json file and translated that uploaded to POEditor

[brunnopleffken]

Nice! This will work too... 😆
And by the way, thanks for your collaboration!!!
