Translations

[kylecorry31]

Translations can be added on Weblate:

• In app strings: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/trail-sense/trail-sense-android/
• User guides: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/trail-sense/trail-sense-user-guide/
• Store metadata: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/trail-sense/trail-sense-store-metadata/

Thanks to Weblate for offering free services for open-source projects - I'll be contributing a percentage of all donations TS receives to Weblate.

[kylecorry31]

Feel free to comment as many translations as you like and I can add them to the app. The stuff in bold doesn't need translations, and the sub-bullets indicate which languages already have translations.

The %s or %.0f like strings are placeholders for values.

[kylecorry31]

(and there are more translations needed than just this, I'll add them later - it takes a very long time to copy them over - and yes I need to find a better way of doing this)

[kylecorry31]

If I were to create a Transifex (https://www.transifex.com/) project for Trail Sense would people use it to provide translations? Looks like it may be free for open source projects (but I haven't really looked into it much)

yes = thumbs up this post, no = don't respond or thumbs down

[raphaelventura]

Hi @kylecorry31 I'm willing to help and consolidate the french translation of Trail Sense by doing a whole review : as of version 0.8.0, some strings don't have any translation, and there are inconsistencies between existing translations.

A very nice collaborative tool I'v been using on another project is weblate, you can check it out and see if it fits.

Thanks!

@kylecorry31, just tried transifex for openstreetmap translations. Very efficient and simple to use as well on the translator side, although not libre ;) but they may offer free hosting of the project (not the case for weblate !)

In any case, I'll contribute as soon as a tool is up and running if you can manage it easily.

[kylecorry31]

@aw-bib and @paulle does "Gefahr: Hitze" and "Gefahr: Unterkühlung" also work for heat danger and hypothermia danger?

@aw-bib yes, those are a scale, ex.

1. Heat caution
2. Heat warning
3. Heat alert
4. Heat danger

[kylecorry31]

For the "Set: %s - %s ago" and "%s - %s ago" those refer to the pressure reading under the pressure chart when you tap on it (so it will say for example: 1000 hPa - 1h ago)

The one that starts with Set: indicates the set pressure (so it will say: Set: 1000 hPa - 1h ago).

Does that change the translation?

[paulle]

Yes

@raphaelventura looks like Weblate does have free hosting for open source projects - I put in a request for the Libre plan. I got it setup (still in the trial) and I'm definitely still learning how to use it, but it seems to be working right now with GitHub: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/trail-sense/trail-sense-android/

[raphaelventura]

Nice ! I've spent some time translating and suggesting small changes in the source strings, will complete the work soon.

[kylecorry31]

Translations have moved to Weblate (@aw-bib and @paulle I already moved your provided translations over to the source code, so no need to reenter them - thanks!). See the link in the issue description.

[raphaelventura]

Hi @kylecorry31 ,

I have finished a first round of translation to french through weblate. Thanks for making the tool available so quickly !

The current debug version systematically crashes on my phone, so unfortunately I can't get context which makes translating harder and I had to guess some stuff using, e.g., the strings keys. Nevertheless, here are a couple of context-related questions that might help me improve my current translations:

• What is the legacy compass ? Are there multiple sensors that can be leveraged as compasses inside a phone ?
• I'm not sure how to handle the 'Degrees Decimal Minutes' geographical coordinates unit. Is it some kind of official unit ? This looks to me as two standard units mixed together (decimal and sexagesimal)
• Could you provide some context for the following 'override' values ? Specifically, are they overridden by other sensors values or entered manually ? Are they switches or editable fields ?
  • compass_from_gps
  • compass_declination_override
  • declination_override_updated_toast
  • pref_latitude_override_title
  • pref_longitude_override_title
  • pref_gps_override_btn_title
  • altitude_from_gps
  • altitude_from_pressure
  • pref_altitude_override_title
  • altitude_override_updated_toast
  • pref_altitude_override_sea_level_dialog_msg
  • pref_altitude_override_sea_level_dialog_title
  • pref_altitude_override_sea_level_title
• (Clarification + suggestion) For the temperature_disclaimer string, is it really true that the Temperature accuracy is affected by the phone's heat ? Or is it the sensed value that may be erroneous (positively biased) because of the phone's high temperature ? Accuracy is different from a systematic error !
• pref_adjust_for_temperature_title and pref_sea_level_use_rapid_title : what does 'Factor' mean here ? Is it a mathematical factor used for a proportional conversion from sea level pressure conversion ? Could you provide some info about these two conversions ?

[kylecorry31]

@raphaelventura thanks! It's concerning that the debug build isn't working, would you mind trying this one out? https://www.dropbox.com/home/Trail%20Sense%20APKs I put some things in place which may fix the crash.

• The legacy compass is another sensor (software-based) available in some phones which Google says shouldn't be used anymore (but it may work better on some lower-end devices)
• Degrees Decimal Minute is an official format for coordinates, ex. X° X.XXX' N - not sure how often it's used though (and yes, it's a combination of the two standard units)
• Most of those values are for "buttons" which will replace the override with the value from that sensor
  • compass_from_gps: will use your current location to set the declination override
  • compass_declination_override: The title of the declination override for the compass (edit text field)
  • declination_override_updated_toast: A message which appears when the declination is updated from the GPS on the calibration page
  • pref_latitude_override_title: The title for the edit text field the user can supply their current latitude (basically mock GPS)
  • pref_longitude_override_title: Same as latitude
  • pref_gps_override_btn_title: The button which can be used to update the lat/lng overrides from your current location
  • altitude_from_gps: The button which can be used to set the current altitude override from the GPS sensor
  • altitude_from_pressure: The button which can be used to set the current altitude override from the barometer
  • pref_altitude_override_title: The title for the edit text field where the user can enter their current altitude (a manual override)
  • altitude_override_updated_toast: The popup which appears when the altitude override is updated from the GPS or barometer
  • pref_altitude_override_sea_level_dialog_msg: The content of the edit text dialog which pops up when the user clicks the set override from barometer button (asks user to enter the sea level pressure)
  • pref_altitude_override_sea_level_dialog_title: The title of the edit text dialog above
  • pref_altitude_override_sea_level_title: The supporting text for the altitude_from_pressure button
• You are right, the temperature may be erroneous - poor wording on my part, I'll update the English string for that
• Factor implies they will be used to convert the value to sea level (mathematically) - the temperature is used in a mathematical formula while the rapid changes will be used to ignore noisy GPS readings

I'll add these to Weblate later.

[raphaelventura]

Hi @kylecorry31,

The link you provided for the debug apk asks for a login, are you sure it's the right one ? Edit : now I see the new releases, nevermind !

Thanks for all the details, I'll update my translations accordingly ASAP.

[kylecorry31]

Thanks - yeah, I didn't realize that link would ask for a login - there's another sharable link which doesn't (on here https://github.com/kylecorry31/Trail-Sense/issues/74)

But as you mentioned, there's a new release which is more up to date.

[raphaelventura]

Hi again,

I've done a second round of translations and improvements based on your inputs. I can't see the weather-related stuff inside the app, but I guess this is the expected behavior when you don't have the mandatory sensors.

Here are two questions:

• I can't find 'Moon azimuth' and 'Sun Azimuth' in the strings to be translated but maybe I didn't search well enough.
• Some of my translated option titles are too long to be printed on my screen and therefore end with an ellipsis sign. Is there any way to force a line break or should I try to shorten the titles ?

And some suggestions:

• There should be some way to switch between upper and lower case after the "until" string in the "Astrology" tab in order to print something like "until sunset" and not "until Sunset".
• I'd like to suggest a little refactoring for the location permission 'onboarding' screen : you could merge all the strings detailing why this permission is needed into one e.g. changing

  Allows for more accurate weather forecasts (adjusts for altitude)
  Allows you to navigate to beacons
  Allows you to see sun/moon rise and set times

  to

  
  Giving the app permission to access location will:

• Increase weather forecasts accuracy (by leveraging altitude info)
• Allow you to navigate to beacons
• Inform you of sun/moon rise and set times

  
  and keep the following strings regarding privacy and 'full permission' separated.

[kylecorry31]

@raphaelventura Thanks!

• I must have missed those (sun and moon azimuth), just pushed them up
• Can you send a screenshot of when the titles overflow and I'll investigate some options?
• As for the capitalization of the sunset/sunrise there, yeah I can look into a way to allow both
• That refactor sounds good! I can update it later today

[raphaelventura]

Great ! I've just completed the translations.

Here's a screenshot where you can see an example of text overflowing.

[paulle]

I believe a lot of translations from English to another language will have more letters. At least I know it for sure when it comes to English German translation. So the the English version should have an option for longer text, line break for example.

[kylecorry31]

Thanks, yeah I can look at some overflow options there. I would think that a line break would work (maybe \n in webflow, not completely sure). I'll see if there any settings I need to enable on those preferences to support that.

[kylecorry31]

Okay, I updated the preferences to wrap instead of cutting off long text - no changes in Weblate needed. Thanks for all those new translations!

[Leopardus4]

Hi! I have few thoughts about translations. Trail Sense uses terminology from astronomy/geography and has few settings which should be simple but understandable. But it's sometimes tricky to find good translation and/or understand impact of setting. There were questions in this thread and in #164 - and I guess there will be few in future. To simplify further translations (there are 25 languages at weblate!) I suggest considering and discussing few things:

• Maybe creating dedicated threads (issues) for specific parts of app. I. e. one general issue (this?) with links to other. Other: one issue for navigation, one for astronomy; settings; tools; guides; etc.. Each issue would contain description about given part (first post, updated from time to time?) and questions dedicated to given part. Few additional ideas below. It may be more clear for another translators to find proper informations this way.

• Few screenshots. It would help to get context of a phrase - especially for new features. Weblate allows to add them (info).

• Wikipedia links. Technical terms are sometimes hard to explain and hard to translate. Wiki provides good explanation and 'other languages' section - it would be helpful. Example: This setting will allow to choose type of dusk/twiling

• I think it's worth to consider where to put further explanations & questions - github or weblate - and choose one place. Both support screenshots, additional explaination (link), but i. e. at weblate discussion is probably rather centred on single phrases :unamused:.

And one question: why is this phrase locked as read-only in non-english languages? I guess it's a text in settings > compass, below true north option.

[kylecorry31]

@Leopardus4 Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into some options! GitHub recently released a new discussions feature as well, which might help out.

As for that Declination phrase, when I look at it in weblate, it doesn't appear to be locked, can you try it again? (and yes, that is the correct text)

[Leopardus4]

Thank you for reply.

Yes, this phrase is locked for me. English page - not locked, but any other language - marked as read only. I can't enter any text in translation field nor save/suggest it.

[kylecorry31]

@Leopardus4 oops, I saw the Edit button and assumed that I could edit for other languages - didn't realize there was a read-only icon on that. Not sure why that happened, but I was able to resolve it (I think) - can you check again?

[Leopardus4]

Yup, it works now. Thanks :)

[hphan9]

Hi, Can I help translate it to Vietnamese?

[kylecorry31]

@hphan9 Sure, that would be great! You can submit translations through Weblate: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/trail-sense/trail-sense-android/

[hphan9]

@kylecorry31 I start to translate the Strings Need Action part. Could I ask how many words I need to translate to be considered a successful PR for Hacktoberfest? Thank you ,

[kylecorry31]

I would say about 25 would be fine, the weblate PRs should contain you as the author (they are created automatically), which will get you credit (if it doesn't, let me know)

[hphan9]

Hi @kylecorry31, I have translated around 50 words in Vietnamese. However, I did not see it updated on my Hactoberfest profile, (https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/) . Could you please check ? Thank you

[kylecorry31]

@hphan9 It appears that everything is set up correctly in this repo, and I also added the label to the PRs that I merged in (which showed you as a contributor). I'm thinking the hacktoberfest side of things isn't detecting it because it was done through Weblate. Can you create a PR on this repo with a trivial change (like adding a new line to the readme or something)?

That might force it to identify you as a contributor

[hphan9]

@kylecorry31 Thank you for your response. It is ok now
