Translators wanted

Mr_Ecks · April 16, 2020, 5:35pm

I just did.

Oh, I thought it was your personal mail.

manuel · April 16, 2020, 7:25pm

I released it a moment ago.
Thanks again, now I can practice the second official language here…

Mr_Ecks · April 16, 2020, 7:59pm

Cool! It did pop up efter reboot.

Thanks for letting me contribute, it’s an honour to be able to give a little something back.

Oh, I thought that would be Spanish, German, French, Dutch, and then Swedish in The Free Republic of Endeavourland.

If your referring to the country to the right of Sweden, then your’re absolutely right. Have fun practising!

manuel · April 16, 2020, 9:00pm

I guess you already noticed that we have two mirrors in Sweden?

Mr_Ecks · April 16, 2020, 9:07pm

Yes, I did.

Not. complaining. at. all!

This “Portuguese” is for for Portuguese and Brazilians, right?

hugok · February 9, 2021, 3:29pm

I am already contributing to the translation of the “welcome” into Portuguese. For now the translation is completed.

Translators, please note that even though I’m collecting all translations into a package eos-translations, I don’t know about the details of most of the translations!

So this is really a community effort!

Thank you all for contributing!

hugok · February 9, 2021, 3:59pm

I will try to translate the Portuguese language in the best possible way and with a quality translation.
Although I have been working with Linux for 13 years the “technical” part is not really my area, although I know more or less how to do things. I just do translation…
Currently I translate Xfce, Gnome, Deepin DE, Pantheon, Cinnamon, LXQt, MATE, Trinity DE, IceWM, etc… I also translate various software such as, VLC, SMPlayer, qBittorrent, Gaupol, Whisker Menu, Celluloid Player, Vivaldi Browser, Calamares Installer, etc… I also contribute with the translation in several Linux “Distros”…
Indirectly I’m helping EndeavorOS but I’ll be more attentive to the “in house” EndeavorOS things.
Cheers

I’m from India and Hindi is my native language, so I can help with Hindi translations.

The tiny caveat is that most tech users here just use the English language on their device. This includes people I know who never had any formal English education. So Hindi tech users is a very niche category.

Still, I am willing to help if the devs think Hindi translation will be useful.

Edit:
I head over to the Ubuntu website, where I did not find Hindi, but I did find Bengali and Oriya translation teams. These two are also Indian languages. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/Contact/Teams

On the Solus translation page, I see that Budgie has been translated to Hindi and Punjabi. https://translate.getsol.us/projects/budgie-desktop/translations/

Indian languages aren’t as niche as I thought they’d be.

Thanks!

You probably have the latest eos-translations package installed, so please look at file
/usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/translation-en.bash
and that is the one to use as base for translating to other languages.

All translations are here: https://github.com/endeavouros-team/PKGBUILDS/tree/master/eos-translations.

Our wiki about Welcome has some tips for translations too.

And isn’t "hi" the language code for Hindi ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes.

And when you are ready, there are several ways to provide your result to be included in the eos-translations package.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

flyingcakes · February 16, 2021, 12:14pm

Thank you for sharing these resources

Yes “hi” is the code for Hindi.

I skimmed through the file and I think I’ll be done translating within a week.

manuel · February 16, 2021, 8:40pm

By the way, it is possible to easily test the translation:

copy the translation file to folder /usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/
run command: eos-welcome --lang=hi (as hi is the language code)

If you see any messages on the terminal after starting Welcome, please report them if you don’t know what they mean. Usually they mean that some translations are missing, and should be added…

dave · February 18, 2021, 9:35pm

Hi I can help with italian

manuel · February 18, 2021, 10:55pm

Thanks @dave

Simply follow the instructions above.

The current Italian translation indeed needs updating since it does not have all phrases translated.

anon49550872 · February 19, 2021, 12:20pm

Maybe I can help regarding the portuguese BR side.
The thing is that I’m not a good translator, and my english is far from ideal.

If I try to help, I would like to someone else to review everything…

So, I guess it’s better to find another translator for Portuguese BR, but if you can’t find anyone, I’m here to help.

manuel · February 19, 2021, 4:32pm

Thanks!

The current portuguese BR translation lacks about 8 phrases, so not a huge task I think.

And in general some more translations are already long due in Welcome…
I try to get it done in the near future.

anon49550872 · February 19, 2021, 7:36pm

No more errors in /tmp/translations-jc30X.errlog

Just added this to the end of the file.

Didn’t have a github account, created one, found the file, and committed the change to it

hugok · February 25, 2021, 2:49pm

Hi @anon49550872

IMHO I think you have to compare your language file with the “translation-en.bash” file and follow it as a basis. Don’t change the: # date

2020-Oct-23:

_tr_add2 updt_update_check “update check”
_tr_add2 updt_searching “Searching”
_tr_add2 updt_for_updates “for updates”
_tr_add2 updt_failure “failure$_exclamation”
_tr_add2 updt_nothing_todo “there is nothing to do”
_tr_add2 updt_press_enter “Press ENTER to close this window”

2020-Oct-24:

IMPORTANT NOTE:

- line 244: changed text of ‘add_more_apps_done2_text’

2020-Dec-11:

_tr_add2 after_install_pacdiff_tip “Manage pacnew, pacorig $_and pacsave files with pacdiff $_and”

anon49550872 · February 25, 2021, 3:04pm

Yes, I tried to follow the pattern, but as I’m not used to code, and it was my first time sending something to github, probably it’s all wrong ehhe

Can you fix it for me? And send again to github?

I made a few changes recently, that I think it’s better than before, take a look, we just need to fix the code to match the pattern in translation-en.bash

_tr_add2 after_install_pacdiff_tip "Gerencie pacnew, pacorig $_and pacsave arquivos com pacdiff $_and"

It would be something like this?
