Translations

Axolotl uses gettext for translations. For every language a .po file exists in the apps /po/ subfolder. These .po files need to be translated.

Instructions on how to translate using .po files are available here: http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/contribute/translations.html#po-ts-file-editor

Once you finished translating, test the strings. This should be done before commiting any changes on axolotl-web.

The following dependencies are required and need to be installed:

sudo apt-get install gettext

Set up development environment as described under README.md.

Change into the axolotl-web subfolder and run: yarn run translate

This command combines the following three single steps into one. Each of them can of course be run separately.

  • yarn run translate-extract extracting the language strings. This updates only the pot file.
  • yarn run translate-update for updating all the translation files.
  • yarn run translate-compile for updating the json file used by axolotl-web. Without that you don't see any results.

Then open Axolotl and have a look at your strings by either installing your package (click, snap, flatpak or appImage) or as described in README.md under "Run development".
