Translations

Galaxy Zoo uses our APIs built-in translation management for storing, and serving localized strings. The interface to add translations is available at http://translations.zooniverse.org/, though you need to be a registered dev/translator to save any changes.

What do I do when I add new text to the site

The way our translations system works is we store a canonical en-us version of the language strings both within the repo and remotely in a database. When changes are made to the local copy, we need to update the remote copy, so we can tell what text for languages other than en-us are out of date, missing, or otherwise need attention.

To do what, you need to either POST the current translations to the API manually, or use the https://github.com/parrish/translator-seed/ module that Michael wrote for convenience. A proper command to upload new translations to the site is conveniently provided as an npm script, runnable by npm run seed-locale. For the system to accept your upload, you must have an OUROBOROS_AUTH env. variable set (see https://github.com/parrish/translator-seed/issues/2 for details on what that expects) and your account must be tagged as a developer.

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter issues with the Ruby builds, ensure that you are using node version no later than 0.11.14. The n package can help with this. This is because the path.existsSync function was removed in 0.12. Example:

  
  npm install nvm
  . ~/nvm/nvm.sh

nvm install v0.10 nvm use v0.10

* Also ensure that you have [SSH access for github](https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/) set up.
* Ensure that you are running the ```hem``` command from the local path (```./node_modules/.bin/hem```), rather than any global version when starting ```hem server```.
