The application uses vue-i18n for internationalisation (i18n, making an app
ready for localisation) and localisation (l10n, implementing specific locales).
- Localisation files are stored in
/app-ui/src/locales/ - The list of locales is defined in
/app-ui/src/classes/constants.js
- Copy an existing locale, name it according to the iso 639 and sub region; see w3c
- Update the translations
- If possible, test it works (see development)
- Raise a PR or attach it to a new issue or #154
- Add the locale name to the fallback locale en under the "locales" key.
- If you can't translate a key, delete it - this will make it show up in
missing translations
Either an existing translation could be improved or is missing altogether.
- Make the change and raise a PR
- Note that I am unable to adjudicate changes so please be thoughtful when changing existing translations. And be collaborative - you are likely changing something that someone else has put care into
- Configure development
- Run
npm run util:missing-translations - This will output JSON with all the missing keys
