Updated translations in XHTML.

[llemeurfr]

The source is the English variant. Lithuanian and Chinese are direct ports of the .md files and could be humanly completed later. I added to the existing Japanese xhtml document a section about developers. Other files have been generated automatically via Deepl and may have to be cleaned-up later.

Thank you Laurent. I used the online W3C / Nu validator ( https://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input ) and found a couple of errors in the Spanish XHTML, which I corrected. I also applied consistent formatting using Visual Studio Code's default formatter.

I deleted the EDRLab.ThoriumReader folder on my MacOS laptop, to test each XHTML (automatically packaged in WebPub). I am getting this error:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Uncaught Exception:
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/readium-desktop/dist/assets/md/information/undefined/en.xhtml'

Investigating...

I also used the nu formatter on most files (On some occasions, Deepl destroys some html tagging) but I must have left the Spanish one on the side. too bad.

@danielweck Hello, I want to update the introduction of simplified Chinese, it is located at src\resources\information\zh-cn.xhtml Where should I find zh-cn.md Or should I create the file manually?

[panaC]

you can update this file : https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader/blob/develop/src/resources/information/zh-cn.xhtml.

1. fork thorium
2. create your branch
3. update the xhtml file with your translation
4. submit your branch with a PR

Hi @cary-rowen, zh-cn.md does not exist anymore (it is still in the history of the project but will not be used anymore). Updates must be made in zh-cn.xhtml. The first version of this xhtml file is simply a port of the markdown version in an xhtml structure. The English translation has been completed with more details; if you find the time to add these details, this is great; if not this is not urgent.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi @llemeurfr @panaC
Thanks for your reply, I still seem a little confused, I have the following questions:

1. I found that "thorium-reader/src/resources/locales/zh-cn.json" contains many empty strings, do I need to start from this file if I want to contribute translations.
2. If thorium-reader adds new translatable strings in the new version, how should I update it to Simplified Chinese, Need to run npm run i18n-check to get new translatable strings?
3. I see that the maintainer of early simplified Chinese is @maitreya2019, I wonder if @maitreya2019 is still contributing translations.
4. I found that "thorium-reader/src/resources/information/zh-cn.xhtml" is already translated in Chinese, but it looks more like machine translation.
5. What should I do if I want to test my translation after translating, do I need to create a thorium-reader compilation environment locally?

My understanding: For Simplified Chinese I only need to translate the two files mentioned in (1) and (4), the former is the UI and the latter is the introduction information of the project, is that right?

Grateful

Cary
