Translations and reviews

[arthurits]

This repo is participating in Hacktoberfest 2023!

Missing translations and reviews are welcome as a way to enter Hacktoberfest 2023.

Languages and cultures

This application is currently available in 15 languages. However, since the addition of new string resources to the application, these cultures's resources need to be updated, as well as reviewing and fine tunning some of the translated strings:

• Arabic (ar). Plain Arabic with no variant.
• Bangla (bn-BD)
• Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans)
• Danish (da-DK)
• Belgium Dutch (nl-BE)
• German (de-DE)
• Hindi (hi-IN)
• Italian (it-IT)
• Lithuanian (lt-LT)
• Norwegian (Bokmål) (nb-NO)
• Portuguese (Brazil) (pt-BR)
• Russian (ru-RU)
• Turkish (tr-TR)

Instructions

There are several ways to contribute the translations. However, all of them should be done via PR and one of the following options:

• If you use VS along with the extension ResX Manager you can translate the strings without manually editing the resx file, since this extension automatically updates the corresponding strings.xx-YY.resx files. This is the easiest and most practical way.
• Edit this Excel book and add the missing (empty cells) translations to the corresponding column (culture) in the table. Please, mark all cells that have been modified, so that I can later update the corresponding strings.xx-YY.resx file.

Some of the string resources include string formatters and other characters (ampersands, line breaks, et cetera) that should be respected in order for the PR to be accepted. Please, don't hesitate to ask in case some strings need contextualization (or screenshots) for their proper translation.

Approval

Please wait until your PR is reviewed, validated, merged and labelled with hacktoberfest-accepted before it is recognised in your Hacktoberfest profile.

Hi @bhalerao-2002. That would be great!

• Hindi (in-IN) needs 31 strings to be translated, as well as reviewing the existing ones. I'll label the corresponding PR (following the above instructions) with the hactoberfest-accepted tag whenever the translation is OK.
• Regarding Marathi (mr-IN), I've created a separate issue #40 since it's a new language/culture that needs full translation. If you are interested, I'll assing #40 to you (please, leve a comment there).
• Besides that, you might be also interested helping with addional translations for my ErgoLux software. I've created two issues (Ergolux #29 and Ergolux #37) in case you want to collaborate. Both ErgoLux and SignalAnalysis share many of the strings.

Some of the string resources include string formatters and other characters (ampersands, line breaks, et cetera) that should be respected in order for the PR to be accepted. So, please don't hesitate to ask any question related to the proper contextualization of any of the strings; I'll be more than glad to provide screenshots and explanations whenever needed.
