What is all this about?

As a software developer, when you are working with computers, you don't have to talk to them (normally). However there are times when you need to talk to a human colleague about the code you just created, it is then when sometimes it becomes difficult or confusing how to pronounce symbols such as [, ;, ~... This repo will try to collect all these characters and symbols and the proper way to pronounce them different languages by humans.

Run it locally

This project was bootstraped using create-react-app. In order to run it you need to have a working node environment with yarn or npm.

yarn && yarn start
# or
npm install && npm run start

That's it, this will install all the required dependencies and start a development server in port 3000.

Contribute

Do you want to add your own language? It's easy, open a PR with the following changes:

1. Create a copy of /src/locales/template.json and rename it to the language code you want to add .i.e. ru.json, pt.json ...
2. Edit the new file and add the name of the language and the emoji flag if available. Add your translations for all the symbols. If a symbol has more than one translation add different entries in the array of values. Check other languages such as English for examples.

{
  "name": "Language name in that language",
  "flag": "🏁",
  "symbols": {
    "symbol": ["prefered translation", "other translation for the same symbol"]
  }
}

3. Import the new file in /src/locales/index.js and add it to the default export.

import en from "./en.json";
// ...
import language_code from "./language_code.json";

export default {
  en,
  // ...
  language_code
};
