How do I contribute to this gem translation? #6

Closed zulhfreelancer closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I'm using this gem inside my current project it was awesome. I really like it!

I'm thinking to translate this gem to Malay language since I'm Malaysian and I'm native Malay speaker.

Please show me clear 'how to' step-by-step guide to contribute to this gem and translate the strings to Malay?

Thanks!

Awesome! So I don't actually have translations setup at all for this gem yet. We probably should start to do that then.

I think the first step will be to take all or most of the strings out and put them into a configuration file so that it can be easily translated like the locales yaml files. Then you would have a good place to write your translations easily.

If you want to take a stab at writing some code to enable those translations for this gem, let me know!

I'm not familiar with the setup. Can you do the setup and let me know when the yaml file is ready?

You can use I18n to set translations for the strings in the receipt in the Charge model receipt method, for example:

line_items: [
        [I18n.t(:charge_date), created_at.to_s],

This will work for Malay Bahasa, French, etc. but I cannot use it for Chinese.
