| For more discussion around translating the wiki please have a look at [https://discourse.diasporafoundation.org/t/translating-the-wiki/228 this Discourse discussion].
| | We use [https://webtranslateit.com WebTranslateIt] to manage translation. |
|
| |
|
| == Translating other parts of the project ==
| | There are two projects for Diaspora on WebTranslateIt. |
|
| |
|
| There are two ways you can contribute a translation: with a pull request or at [https://webtranslateit.com WebTranslateIt]. But lets start with some general notes first.
| | * [https://webtranslateit.com/en/projects/3020-Diaspora diaspora/Diaspora] for translating the software. |
| | * [https://webtranslateit.com/en/projects/7017-Website diaspora/Website] for translating diasporafoundation.org. |
|
| |
|
| === General notes ===
| | If you want to contribute to translation, you need to register to WebTranslateIt. |

| We integrated the awesome extensions [https://github.com/siefca siefca] made for Rails and the [https://github.com/svenfuchs/i18n i18n gem]: [https://github.com/siefca/i18n-inflector i18n-inflector] and [https://github.com/siefca/i18n-inflector-rails i18n-inflector-rails]. Based on what the user has written into the gender field and our [https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/tree/master/config/locales/inflections definitions] the gender is guessed. Look at the readme of i18n-inflector for more documentation on how to use them. You can use the named patterns easily via [https://webtranslateit.com WebTranslateIt] if you want to do so. However if you want to contribute a definition please make a [[Git Workflow|pull request]].

|
| |
|
| ==== Choose the correct language code ====
| | Some languages are not handled inside WebTranslateIt. You will need to use Github and open a pull request to contribute to those. |
|
| |
|
| First look if you could find an existing translation.
| | ==== diaspora/diaspora ==== |
|
| |
|
| If you have to create a new one look [https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/tree/master/rails/locale/ here] and check which code is used there for your language.
| | * es-VE: [https://github.com/ruby-ve team] |
| | * gl: [http://trasno.net/ team] |
|
| |
|
| If your language isn't available there choose the right code according to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes ISO 639-1] (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-2_codes ISO 639-2]/3 if your language has no ISO 639-1 code) in lowercase letters. If you want to create a country-specific one, that is not the most spoken type of it, append - and your country code according to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1#Current_codes ISO 3166-1] in uppercase letters.

|
| |
|
| Examples:
| | First look if you could find an existing translation. |
|
| |
|
| * <tt>de</tt> for German
| | If you have to create a new one inform [https://webtranslateit.com/en/projects/3020-diaspora/people a project manager] so that they create the new language for you. As soon as the new language was created you can start translating. |
| * <tt>de-AT</tt> for German specific to Austria
| |
|
| |
|
| If you want to create formal or informal versions of your translation append <tt>_informal</tt> or <tt>_formal</tt> to the version that is less common for social networks.

| === Pull request ===
| |
| | |
| {{Note|If you want to take the responsibility for your language then this method is completely fine, however using both methods at the same time is complicated and likely destroys work done by others. So please provide constant updates if you want to do it this way. Do keep in mind that you have to watch for changes yourself, there's no automatism that updates everything with this way. Also be sure that you are the person to be contacted about the translation in your local community and add a way to contact you/contribute to the translation to the ''Languages handled outside of WebTranslateIt'' section below.}}
| |
| | |
| First read and follow our [[Git Workflow]]. However since resolving conflicts in a language you don't understand is almost impossible for us, please make sure to base your pull request on the '''next-minor''' branch, ''not'' develop.
