Hello.

You relasead 19 hours ago the new english language file and 19 hours ago your released a new program version.

If you can please elave to the translator the time to update language files before to release a new program version. Otherwise new version is updated for english but not for other langauges.

To advise the translator about a new language release (github notify seems not so tempestive) could select different options

create a mailing list with all translator emails and send a unique message to all translator with a simple communication about new english language.
Move translation files on host like Transiflex that has a valid notify system that advise translator about a new language file vesrion.

Thanks.

Maxstupo commented 3 years ago

Yeah, I can do that (I will release a patch once a few more translations are done). I think moving the files to a host would be a good idea, but ideally the host would have to offer a free option. GitHub integration would be great too.

Another idea would be to use an auto update feature that would update the translation files when available (separate from application updates).

Transiflex is free. It has a good notification system. And should have integration with Github.

@bovirus

Oh, didn't see that it had a separate open source section. I will check it out.

I had a look at Transifex, it looks good. I'm planning to switch the repository workflow to using it.

Do you mean a badge that is dynamic with percentage complete? Can't seem to find one like that for Transifex, but could do something like this:

bovirus commented 3 years ago

@Maxstupo

Yes. A badge that show on the top the link to transiflex page.

I believe that is not necessary the percentage of translation - just link to YDL-UI Transiflex page.
