Monento Locales

Localisation resources for Monento – a cross-platform app for tracking personal finances.

You are welcome to contribute a new translation and fix mistakes in existent messages.

File Structure

Locale files are located under locales directory, example:

.i18n-editor-metadata
locale--comments.json
locale-en.json
locale-ru.json

Where:

.i18n-editor-metadata – a configuration file for i18n-editor.
locale--comments.json – the file contains comments and context details for translation terms.
locale-*.json – these files contain translated terms per a locale.

Editing Files

Locale files are plain JSON files and can be edited directly by a text editor or Github's online editor for quick fixes.

However it is more convenient to use i18n-editor – it is a cross-platform GUI editor running on Java 8:

Follow instructions and install at least 2.0.0-beta.1 version from its releases page.
Open the editor and import locales directory as a new project.

Note: Start the editor by java -jar i18n-editor.jar command in a terminal in case it cannot be launched by its binary files.
