Multi-Language support #137

Closed OLLI-S closed 5 years ago

OLLI-S commented 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently CCA is available in English language only. For some colleagues this is a pain, because their English skills are very bad.

Describe the solution you'd like Please consider adding multiple languages in CCA where users can select from. I offer my help in translating CCA into German language if this is needed.

Thanks @OLLI-S, The i18n support has been added on the latest commits but not packaged yet. If you can provide a translated version of this file https://github.com/ThePacielloGroup/CCAe/blob/master/src/views/translations/en.json that would be great !

OLLI-S commented 5 years ago

The translation could take several days/weeks because I do this in my free time.

I am new to GH, so how do I provide my translated file? Should I download the en.json and translate it offline? And how do I upload it? Or is there a way that I translate it directly in the web browser?

About the file format: I assume that the first value is the identifier and the second value should be translated?

"Edit": "Edit",

Will be

"Edit": "Bearbeiten",

ferllings commented 5 years ago

I understand, I'm doing it on my free time as well.

Just download the file and you can re-upload it on this ticket. I'll take care of the rest. And yes, only the 2nd value should be translated.

OLLI-S commented 5 years ago

OK, cool, starting working on it today

MakotoUeki commented 5 years ago

@ferllings Could I do Japanese translation as well?

ferllings commented 5 years ago

Thanks, but the Japanese translation has already been done by @motchie. So far I have Japanese and French

MakotoUeki commented 5 years ago

Great! That's good to know. I'm looking forward to the update version :-)

OLLI-S commented 5 years ago

Do you plan to release the names of the translators in the app?

ferllings commented 5 years ago

Yes, I can put full names or github usernames, in the About dialog

OLLI-S commented 5 years ago

I am finished with the translation, but I have some annotations:

1) German text is mostly longer than English text (so it won't fit in the components)

2) I did not translate main knots (like "Menu" or "Main") and the name of the aplication (lines 3, 29, 120)

3) I did translate Titles (lines 81, 105 and 119)

4) I did not find the colour-names that you show in the right-top corner of the foreground-colour/background-colour and also in the help for the foreground/background colour

5) In the file I see two spellings for colour (colour and color), this should be unique

6) What is the context of line 9? Is it a dialog title or a message that the updates are installed (installing updates)?

7) The buttons have no tooltip info (but you have the texts in the language file)

8) I have no proper translateion for "Paraphrased" (line 75) So I translated it with "Erklärung" what means "explanation"

9) In line 78 there is no "." at the end of the sentence, so I added it in my translation (you should also add it in the Englisch text).

10) I did not translate "TPG Resources" in line 124 because this is the name of the website. Tell me if I should translate it.

11) In the OLD version of the CCA words like "Protanopia" were translated with the explanation "Red Blindness"). In the current version you have "no red", so I decided not to translate "Protanopia" and all the other medical words. Tell me if I should translate it.

If you want to publish my name, please use "Oliver Sahr"

Here is the translated file (that I had to rename to *.TXT, otherwise an upload was not possible). de.json.txt

Sorry for the delay, I was afk.

  1. I don't want to delay this release any longer so I'll push it as it is. But I'm working on a redesign to fix #109 so I'll think about it at the same time.

  2. The colors are CSS names, so I don't think it's necessary to translate them.

  3. Good point. It should be Colour.

  4. A menu item, in the main navigation menu.

  5. Yes, that's the textual alternative for screenreaders.

  6. No need to.

Thanks for your contribution.

I'll create a section in the About to list the translators. Could let me know how to translate the word "Translations"?

ferllings commented 5 years ago

@motchie, similarly, how do you translate "Translations" and "Japanese"... in Japanese?

motchie commented 5 years ago

@ferllings I'm sorry for late reply. "Translations" (the act of changing from one language to another) is 翻訳 and "Japanese" (the language used in Japan) is 日本語 in Japanese.

@ferllings What of my topics does you answers refer to?

Translations in German means "Übersetzungen".
