Translate Chatty to main page
Parts of Chatty can be translated into different languages, and you can help!
Getting started
Join the localization project and tell me the account name you used so I can approve it. The best way is via #localization on Discord, but you can also send a mail. If the language you want to work on hasn't been added yet, tell me.
Remember that you may also join languages that have already been completely translated, since future Chatty updates will likely also require more or updated translations. This is especially true now, since still not all GUI parts have been added for localization yet.
Translation Guidelines
- You don't have to translate everything. If there is no good word for something, just keep it in English.
- Strings that aren't translated will automatically fallback to English, so please don't just copy the English strings to fill translations.
- Strings containing replacements (e.g.
Join #{0}
, where{0}
is replaced with the stream name) use the MessageFormat class. Most importantly this means that any single quotes need to be escaped with a single quote (e.g.Can''t join ''{0}'' (not connected)
). Sometimes it may also contain some more advanced patterns. If you just stick to the template it should be fine. - The comments for a specific translation item sometimes give additional hints about the string.
- If have a question or want to discuss something, ask in #localization on Discord or the comments for a specific translation in the localization project.
