## How to contribute translations
|
|
You can translate cobalt to any language you want on [cobalt's crowdin](https://crowdin-co.wukko.me/). Feel free to ignore QA errors if you think you know better. If you don't see a language you want to translate cobalt to, open an issue, and I'll add it to crowdin.
|
|
|
|
### Translation guidelines:
|
|
- Avoid formal language. Leave it for boring big tech companies. Use informal language on all occasions.
|
|
- Strings are **ALWAYS** stylized as lowercase unless it's STRESSED LIKE THIS or is an internal value like `{ContactLink}`.
|
|
- Keep translations lively, friendly, and fun. Translate strings as if cobalt user was your buddy.
|
|
- Automatic translations from original language are not valid, and will be ignored.
|
|
- You can (and should) rephrase sentences as long as they keep the same point, if you think it'd be better that way.
|
|
- You can add wordplays or puns if it feels natural to do so.
|
|
- Even though I love cursing, keep that to minimum in translations, and do **NOT** use any offensive words.
|
|
- Check if there are issues in UI with your localization, and optimize it accordingly, or open an issue.
|
|
- Add "(in english)" translated to your language at the end of `ChangelogLastCommit`, `ChangelogLastMajor`, and `ChangelogOlder`. Those are always kept exclusively in English (for now), due to how often changelog changes.
|
|
- Sample translation to Russian: `"ChangelogLastCommit": "последний коммит (на английском)"`
|
|
- Be nice.
