Translation to native language #254

Closed MKoen closed 5 years ago

MKoen commented 5 years ago

A big part of the settings and the notification window are hard coded in English.

Please make this support the user's native language.

Since I'm from Belgium, I'd love to translate the app to Dutch. Just give me a list of the stuff that needs to be translated, and it'll be done in no time.

Current translation volunteers:

saboooor commented 5 years ago

Montell2099 commented 5 years ago

I'd be willing to contribute with a Swedish translation if need be.

8bitPit commented 5 years ago

@MKoen, @587saboor & @Montell2099 thank you. I did not setup any Translation management system for Niagara yet, but I will.

I could do a pull request looking into this, I'd just need to know how it should be implemented, as how would the dev like translations to work.

8bitPit commented 5 years ago

Thanks a lot for volunteering everyone. I’m almost done with settings up the translation management system :) The service is called Crowdin and you can also log in with your GitHub account: I tried my best to provide helpful context (documentation & screenshots) for every string, please take a look: https://crowdin.com/project/niagara-launcher

Ajlewka13 commented 5 years ago

Hi, I can help with Russian translation.

MKoen commented 5 years ago

@8bitPit please increase the char limit, it's now set to 200 but some strings to translate are already bigger then 200.

8bitPit commented 5 years ago

@MKoen Sorry, I didn't know that Crowdin also takes the length of xml tags into account. Should be fixed now.

8bitPit commented 5 years ago

@disacrol good thought. For button labels I set the char limit to 20 chars, so "Adicionar favoritos" would barely fit (19 chars). I agree, just "Adicionar" would also work in that case. I will do some testing today, to better estimate char limits. Sometimes the UI wouldn't be broken, but I believe button labels longer than 20 chars wont look appealing to the user.

disacrol commented 5 years ago

I deleted my post hoping it would be unnoticed, I missed the "CHAR_LIMIT" annotation in the end, I was looking at the number of chars of the original, my bad. I'll keep "Adicionar favoritos" for now.

alicagatay commented 5 years ago

Hello, I don't understand a thing. Currently, I am making a Turkish translation and I don't know which order should I put the %1$s sign into the translation. Like should I put it in order or should it be the same as in the English version? For example, should I use the exact values for exact buttons( such as using %1$s for the word Agree and continue, or should I write it in order as I write the translation? I am asking this because the order of the words can change due to languages differences between Turkish and English.

disacrol commented 5 years ago

Nothing between <xliff:g and </xliff:g> should be translated. Other than that, you can and should adapt the text around it - before <xliff:g and after </xliff:g> - according to your language. In my case, I also had to handle that specific string, because "Tap Agree and continue to agree to Niagara Launcher's Privacy policy and Terms of Service" in Portuguese had to be rephrased as something like "Tap Agree and continue to agree to the Privacy policy and Terms of Service of Niagara Launcher".

DoggoOfSpeed commented 5 years ago

Can I translate to Lithuanian?

pvojnisek commented 5 years ago

I would make the Hungarian translation

8bitPit commented 5 years ago

@Vv2233Bb sry for my late reply, added Lithuanian.

8bitPit commented 5 years ago

@pvojnisek I think translating into Hungary should already be possible.

vilitik commented 5 years ago

I'd love to help translate to Norwegian.

OK, so this is strange. Norwegian is marked as 100% finished, but Niagara is in english on my device (Oneplus Nord 2 5G). I have systems settings to Norwegian Bokmål (we have two written languages, "bokmål" and "nynorsk").

8bitPit commented 2 years ago

@Gauteweb oh, thanks for reporting. Do the translations show up if you switch to Nynorsk?

Gauteweb commented 2 years ago

@Gauteweb oh, thanks for reporting. Do the translations show up if you switch to Nynorsk?

That is not an option on my phone, only Bokmål.

8bitPit commented 2 years ago

Oh okay. I can select to both written languages but I it doesn't apply the translations either. I think I have found the culprit, there are several ways to categorize Norwegian strings: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5153674/android-localization-question/5155857. image. I'll fix this with the next update; thanks again for pointing it out @Gauteweb!
