# Translating comitium
|
|
|
|
Translating comitium is really easy! You have to translate like twenty words
|
|
and that's it.
|
|
|
|
To start, download the YAML file with all the strings:
|
|
[files.yaml](/comitium/tree/localizations_src/en-US/files.yaml) (if you'd prefer
|
|
to start with a language other than English, see other languages
|
|
[here](/comitium/tree/localizations_src/)).
|
|
|
|
The file will be a series of key-value pairs and comments, it'll be laid out
|
|
like this:
|
|
```
|
|
# comment
|
|
key1: string to translate
|
|
another_key: another string to translate, with {{.replacements}} this time
|
|
## more comments
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All you do is just translate the strings after the colon (`:`), but not anything
|
|
in the replacement brackets (`{{.replacement}}`).
|
|
|
|
So to translate the line:
|
|
```
|
|
feed_subscriptions_link: Currently aggregating {{.num}} capsules, gopherholes, and websites.
|
|
```
|
|
You'd just translate the string `Currently aggregating[...]capsules, gopherholes,
|
|
and websites.` and leave the `feed_subscriptions_link: ` and `{{.num}}` as-is.
|
|
|
|
There we go, you translate all the lines in that file (you don't need to do
|
|
comments) and that's it! You just translated comitium! Email the YAML file to
|
|
me at [alex [at] nytpu.com](mailto:alex@nytpu.com) and I'll take care of the
|
|
rest.
|
|
|
|
If you want to be extra helpful, you could also translate [the
|
|
quickstart](/comitium/tree/doc/quickstart.en.md) and [this
|
|
document](/comitium/tree/doc/translating.en.md), but you shouldn't feel
|
|
obligated to do so.
