Help translate Groups.io into your language.
If the language you want to translate doesn't exist as a PO file yet, submit an issue so that we can create a template for you to get started.
Merge conflicts are nasty. They happen when you're translating an outdated version of the template, part of which might have been translated by someone else. To prevent this, try to fork our repository right before you translate.
If you want to do multiple translation pull requests, before doing work each time, use the "Compare" UI on your own fork to pull in all the newest changes from groupsio:main first by creating a pull request on your own repository and merge it in yourself, so that your own copy is up-to-update.
To translate, fork this repo and edit the PO file of your language. After that, submit a pull request.
Note that you don't have to clone your fork to make the edits; you can do everything on GitHub's web UI. Simply open a file in your own forked repo and click on the pencil icon to start editing.
The translations use the Gettext PO file format. The original template, containing the English version of the site, is en.pot.
When you fix a translation, remove the #, fuzzy line above it. This signals that the translation has been fixed.
A good translation editor to use is POEdit.
