Help to translate the add-on into your language

[CastagnaIT]

Help request

I need volunteers to translate and keep up to date the add-on into your language.

You can contribute either individually for your purpose or join the team of translators to https://github.com/add-ons/translations

Thanks for your time.

Status of language translations

In this link you can find the status for each language translation and the current translators to:
add-ons/translations#7

Another option to verify the status of translations is check-translations on CI:

1. Open Actions page
2. Select Kodi on workflows entries on left menu
3. On the right appears the list of Jobs, select the most recent job of master branch (see date/time)
4. In the job page, select Addon checker ( ... ) entry on the left menu
5. In the dark status page open Checking language translations section, should look like the screenshot
6. Find your language file to see if there is some warning message
   The numbers after .../strings.po:xxx indicates the row numbers where the problem is.
   If you do not find your language file there, there are no problems to correct.
   

Just one simple rule

Each translation can be maintained by multiple users,
it is mandatory to tag in every PR you propose every translator involved in your language,
to give the opportunity to guarantee a review.

You can see the list of translators in this post: add-ons/translations#7

How to translate

If your language need only to be updated
You can find the file language translation at this folder:
https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/tree/master/resources/language

Usually the missing translations are with empty string, example:

msgctxt "#30008"
msgid "Login failed"
msgstr ""

The msgstr is where your translation is to be inserted, and in this case it is missing.

When done you can submit your PR
Any changes submitted may be pending until the new version is released.

If you want to add a new language
You can copy the english language file, and write your translation in the each msgstr field
https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/blob/master/resources/language/resource.language.en_gb/strings.po

You also need to identify your locale language code and rename the file/folder name accordly.

When done you can submit your PR
Any changes submitted may be pending until the new version is released.

Hello.

If you need help to translate in French, i'm ok to help you

you're free to do it,

[locutus32]

here's my contribution (french translation)
strings.zip

[CastagnaIT]

the zip contain a wrong file

[locutus32]

sorry
French-strings.zip
i hope this one could be better

[locutus32]

i used 7zip

[CastagnaIT]

the file inside is always the same... it's no a "po" file format

[locutus32]

i just save the file in my computer and zip it
i don't understand

is there another method to give you my file? i edited the file directly in browser, and github saved it in my depository)

[locutus32]

@CastagnaIT : i send you an invitation for my repository; you should have access to my file

[CastagnaIT]

You're saving it in the wrong way, you're saving the web page not the file po.....
so yes i received your github invitation, but this is not necessary for me
I can see your public repository, now i look at the changes

[CastagnaIT]

@locutus32
missing ids: 30015, 30016
wrong ids: 30066, 30180
missing also all latest additions at the end...
do not look good, you have to compare the fr language file with the en language file

[locutus32]

ok
i'll look at it quickly

[Thunderbird2086]

I understand Japanese and Korean.
will push Japanese soon.

[Thunderbird2086]

Simple question.
What's the purpose for View in Settings and what's the use case?
I have never used it before.

[CastagnaIT]

Is similar to Viewtype settings, so each skin has it own.

In the addon is possible set the view type permanently using the viewtype IDs of skin for various sections

[MrSirMacke]

I'll fix Swedish for you.

[CastagnaIT]

@locutus32
ids:
30031
30034
are not translated, is it intentional or not? let me know

[dagwieers]

To all translators in this thread, the following related upstream projects would be blessed with your help too:

• inputstream.adaptive
• service.upnext
• script.module.inputstreamhelper

I forgot it. It's ok now

[notoco]

To all translators in this thread, the following related upstream projects would be blessed with your help too:

• inputstream.adaptive
• service.upnext
• script.module.inputstreamhelper

I have done it for UpNext before, now I have uploaded it for inputstream.adaptive. The rest will be done during the week or weekend.

[CastagnaIT]

for the translator, some changes have been made in the languages for parental control
before making a PR, compare new changes
thank you for your time

[notoco]

A small suggestion:
msgctxt "#30009"
msgid "Please Check your credentials (user/password)"
or
msgid "Check your login data"

It will probably be easier to understand what's going on

[locutus32]

last changes updated for french

[dagwieers]

There is a possibility to add your add-on to Transifex so everything is being translated by a team of translators. But it is unclear how this works.

[boblo1]

@CastagnaIT : As I don't fully understand the PR system and now I have very few spare time, I have decided to leave it for now. Therefore, @roliverosc can maintain the spanish translation from this point forward. I will visit the project page from time to time and will help with some suggestions (if it's okay with you).

I apologize for any inconvenience.
Thanks and regards.

FYI @CastagnaIT I will publish the update of the French translation for 1.13.0 only around 3 or 4th January (so after the planned release date).

[CastagnaIT]

@thombet fine thanks for the notice
