French localisation

[pylapp]

Introduction

Today the app provides only english texts. All the strings are hardcoded and not extracted in localizables files. I propose ot bring localizaiton for both english and french by:

1. extracting all hard-coded strings to a localizable strings dict
2. add french translations

Requirements

• Extract all hard-coded values
• Define localizable string dict
• Add french translations

Discussion

Could be quite easy, I can do it in one evening.

What I Need

Nothing particular, just get your agreement before starting dev, it can induce conflcits between branches so I need to ship this evolution fast.

WDYT @buresdv @EricBAndrews?

Hey there! Full localisation is something we'd love to support at some stage.

At the moment, we're busy rewriting our entire codebase on the dev2 branch. The next major update will be Mlem v2.0, which will use this new codebase. Mlem on the dev2 branch is only partially implemented, and many UI components are missing. You're welcome to localise what we've got so far, if that appeals to you. Alternatively, I can let you know when Mlem v2.0 is finished so that you can add the French translations. I don't think it would be worth adding translations to the v1 codebase on the dev branch at this stage, as it will be replaced with dev2 in the next month or two.

Hi!Sounds interesting, maybe it could be more efficient indeed if the v2 code base is ready ; waiting for such version will be better because we will be able to add French translations in one time for all the views.Feel free to ping me when you think the code base can be pulled so as to get my French wording 😁Cheers!—Pierre-Yves Lapersonne (a.k.a pylapp)pylapersonne.infoLe 2 juil. 2024 à 18:25, Sjmarf @.***> a écrit : Hey there!

Sure, I'll let you know when it's ready then :D
