How to contribute to translating app
Method 1 : using GitHub
Adding a new Language:
- Go to Languages folder and create a new yaml file with name
{StandardCountryCode}.ymllikeen-US.ymlorfa-IR.yml. Here is a List of country codes you can pick. - Copy the content of
en-US.ymlto the new created file. - In the meta part of yaml edit the
Translatorsarray. Remove the existing translators in the copied file and just put information of yourself. - Translate the
Translationsection of file and make a PR!
Modifying a translation file:
- Go to Languages and find the language you want to edit using its standard locale.
- In the meta part of yaml and in the
Translatorsarray, add yourself as a new translator without removing others from the list. - Make your changes in the
Translationsection and make a PR!
Method 2 : using Email
Use the links mentioned in above method, modify/add translation file, then email it to me: [email protected]
π RTL Languages
For right-to-left languages like Persian, Arabic, etc. It is not needed to explicitly state language layout in the meta section. Simply use a standard country code, and the app automatically detects if it has right-to-left direction or not and changes the design of elements in app.
