1. Translate the text "Before I Die" into additional languages. This text is displayed when clicking on a contributor bid image ⬇️

   

2. Create a JSON file for each new translation, following the format:

   {
   "BEFORE-I-DIE": "Translation in the target language"
   }

3. Add the new language JSON files to the locales folder. Be sure to title this file translation.json

4. Update the i18n configuration to include the new languages. In the i18n configuration code, add the new language resources by importing the JSON files and including them in the resources object. For example:

   
   import i18n from "i18next";
   import { initReactI18next } from "react-i18next";

i18n .use(initReactI18next) // passes i18n down to react-i18next .init({ resources: { en: { translation: require("./locales/en/translation.json"), }, // Add new languages here newLanguageCode: { translation: require("./locales/newLanguageCode/translation.json"), }, }, lng: "en", // Set the default language fallbackLng: "en", // Fallback language if a translation is missing interpolation: { escapeValue: false, // React already escapes by default }, returnNull: false, });

Hi @Harshal662! Before going ahead with assigning you to this issue I would recommend you have a look over the README and then head over to the CONTRIBUTION-GUIDELINES and then open up your first pull request to share what you want to do before you die. This way, you better understand this project before contributing deeper. Look at the live link for examples. Afterward, would you then like to add all the missing langue translations of the text Before I Die or would you be committed to doing a specific number? This way, I can also ensure others can contribute too if you happen to not commit to all of them. Thanks, Harshal, and have a great rest of your day and looking forward to seeing your contributions!

Great job on your commitment to adding the language translations for our open-source project! I appreciate your enthusiasm and the saluting face emoji you've included. I am assigning you to this issue now. Please feel free to let us know if you encounter any problems during the process.

To streamline the workflow, you can create and open pull requests for however many translations you complete during your work sessions, instead of waiting to submit all the translations at once. This way, we can merge the translations as they are ready, making the process more efficient. And we will update this issue to make sure we are staying accurate with what has been completed by you👍🏻

Thank you for your contributions, and have a fantastic day, @Harshal662!

Hello, I can translate in Azerbaijani and Turkish. I need clarification if you don't mind, we just translate the words "Before I Die", not anything else? If so, I can most likely translate in other middle eastern languages.

HI @Mominarez. Thank you for your enthusiasm in wanting to assist! Here are the steps needed for completing a translation file:

1. Inside the locales director add a folder for your given language you are translating. Be sure to title is after the aconym you see that is on the list provided that hasn't been completed yet. For exmplae az
2. Then add inside the newly created folder a file named translation.json
3. Then add your translated text for Before I Die in the given language to the translation.json Example:

   {
   "BEFORE-I-DIE": "Translation in the target language"
   }

4. Lastly, update the i18nextConfig.js file by adding the trnalated language to the resource key so that it can be imported from the separate json language files. Example:

Please let me know if you need further information or have questions. Additionally I would encourage you to contribute by reading the README to better understand the project and then continue following the CONTRIBUTION-GUIDELINES.md. This will help with understanding the git workflow.

Hey @XanderRubio It's been a week, and it looks like @Mominarez might be busy and would not be able to do the task. If it's okay with you, I can add translations to the remaining languages. I was going to add my before I die statement today anyways so I would happily add all remaining languages too.

HI @VoidyCodes,

Love the enthusiasm, and I've chatted with @Mominarez and moved that time to this Wednesday as she over the weekend made pull requests for her work, and we are in the process of just making an adjustment to the pull request for good open source practice and learning experience. Thank you for your patience, and if you are really eager to continually contribute, we have the ROADMAP to get more ideas on what can be opened for open issues, and additionally, we will need to add another UI enhancement that I will create an open issue for soon. I am looking forward to seeing your before I die statement. Additionally, we will be building out the community section of this organization on GitHub to help with more organized collaboration with contributors on this project, so be on the lookout for being a member of Before I Die Code in the near future. Have a great start to your week!

HI @VoidyCodes,

You're all good to go ahead with adding the last seven language translations. Have a nice day!
