Invidious: Want Help By Translating!

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

i want translate website into AR but i searched in your project files & i didn't find single word xD so can you help me how/where find words to translate it ?

[omarroth]

I would definitely appreciate it! I haven't pulled out any of that info yet unfortunately. See #180, and I'll let you know when it's ready for translating.

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

already saw it :P & i didn't find locales/en-US.json & ok i will be right here wating

[omarroth]

Added en-US.json with d211d8fc05bdfa95377ec37bbde5929e57b9f507. Feel free to hop on the FreeTube Matrix Server (if you haven't already) or email me privately if you have any questions on how to translate things.

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

oh wow alot of words xD & what you did with your website close at night in my country ?

[omarroth]

Haha, don't feel the need to translate everything. Probably pushing changes for the day, although there shouldn't be any downtime while that's happening, so it's strange if that's what you're experiencing.

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

that what i have rn, its get down at 5PM & get up at 12 AM

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

& translate 2 raws of first raw or second raw only ?

[omarroth]

Just the second.

[elypter]

PS: there is just a strange word i not know it so if you can explain it to me (see photo in link): https://upload.vaa.red/hCQyu#7de75277dc5ae54e1a0392d6194e6fa7

[omarroth]

It is the number of people that liked a video divided by the number of people that viewed a video. Synonyms might be "participation percent". Hopefully that helps.

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

well, take this (the new file with that strange word translated): https://upload.vaa.red/27uYSy#c99a95b85a70c8686b986619f59fc806 & when translation will release ?

[dimqua]

Liked + disliked, I suppose.

[omarroth]

It's hard to say, but I expect to have them supported within the next 2 weeks. If anything changes I'll be sure to mention here.

[omarroth]

Added support for translations with a160c645c9c6299553a7cc0c89e5182f5d1288bb. You can change your preferred language in preferences, or add hl=LOCALE to the end of any request, for example https://invidio.us/?hl=ru, where LOCALE is any of: ar, de, en-US (default), nl, pl, or ru. Currently they are case sensitive, so https://invidio.us/?hl=RU will not work.

If there are any errors in the translations feel free to edit them on Weblate, or edit the files directly and open a PR.

I think I'll close this since support for translations has been added. If anyone has questions on how to translate anything, feel free to contact me here or email at [email protected] or [email protected].

Thank you so much to everyone for helping to translate the site!

[elypter]

just a few things i discovered when using a translation:

the "search" in the search bar does not change according to the selected language.

times like "4 days" are also not translated and "Language:" and "Fallback comments:" in the settings english only as well.

[dimqua]

@elypter are all languages affected?

[omarroth]

I expect so. I mentioned elsewhere, but translation logic, such as forming dates and pluralizing words, hasn't been implemented yet.

Added missing translations with a5af6f49564d4df2096727b726d138bbd420fb49.

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

1. come on @omarroth, you didn't tell me you added new words
2. what " Fallback comments " mean ?

EDIT: ok i got what Fallback comments mean

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

it's first time for me to do a "pull request" so forgive me if i did something wrong + i updated my translation file :smile:

[omarroth]

There doesn't appear to be a good way to notify translators when new translations are added. In this case I only added words that I left out or forgot. I don't expect them to change much, but I'll be sure to let you know when new ones are added.

[elypter]

you can watch a project in weblate and you can chose to be informed when a new translation string is added https://hosted.weblate.org/accounts/profile/#subscriptions

those notifications are sent via email

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

i not want sign up in useless websites (i will not use it so why i add my email ?)

[elypter]

if you dont want to use that service you have to watch the commits

[omarroth]

It might be good to have information for translators on an /about page (see #227) that could help notify translators with what needs to be translated.

We now have AR in locales: https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/blob/master/locales/ar.json
Is this issue "fixed"? I see some discussion here which is not releated to the issue. Maybe join some rooms which are listed in readme: https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/#contact

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

@Perflyst who are you ? & what you want from AR file ?

[Perflyst]

I just wondered if this issue isn't already solved.

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

@Perflyst wow you online xD & tbh idk, you can ask @omarroth

[omarroth]

Looks like everything is resolved as mentioned here.
