All languages need to be updated for 0.13 - Call for translators

[erciccione]

Another hard fork is approaching, and with it, a mayor release: 0.13 Since 0.12.3, the GUI changed a bit. Some strings were added and some were removed. #1572 refreshed all language files, so now they can all be updated with the missing translations, before 0.13 is out.

This is a call for translators, down here can be found the list of the available languages. If the language is thicked, somebody worked on it and the translation is already PRd.

If you wish to contribute, please make sure your language is still labelled as 'needed' on the Issue tracker of the Localization Workgroup on Taiga. The task related to this issue is "Update strings (0.13)". If the task is

• Needed: nobody worked on it and still need a translator.
• Work in progress: somebody is actively working on the language, but haven't opened a PR yet.
• Ready for test: the translation was PRd on this repository (the link to the PR can be found in the description of the task)

If you start to work on a language, please write here or let me know using one of the communication channel listed below, so that i can update the issue tracker and avoid double works.

How to translate?

Before starting the translation, we ask you to follow these few guidelines:

• When possible, do not use gender specific terminology
• If available, use the glossary for your language. This will help keep translations consistent over different works. Available glossaries are: Italian, German, Swedish, Spanish and French
• If a string contains number, just keep them as they are
• Read the guide Translation tips for Monero translators, Which cointains many useful tips and tools.

A step-by-step guide on how to translate the GUI wallet is available here (the guide is about how to add a new language, but the instructions are also valid for updating one), but, basically, what a translator need to do is:

1. Look for the correct language file in monero-gui/translations
2. Find the strings labelled <translation type="unfinished">
3. Add the correct translation of the <source> string between the <translation> label (removing the type="unfinished"tag)
4. when done, commit and open a Pull Request with your changes. *Please refer to this issue (#1582) when the PR is opened.
