Needs translation instructions
scootergrisen opened this issue · comments
Are we not missing some instructions on how to translate Virtaal?
The README file could have a Translation section telling translators which files can be transalted and how to submit updated translations/start new languages.
It is not in the readme, but it is reasonably well documented, I think:
https://virtaal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/localising_virtaal.html
The instructions will need some updating:
- That Pootle server is not available any more, so we need to decide how we'll handle things from here on.
- I'm not sure what we'll do on Windows, so that needs to be figured out.
Say if more updates to it is required.
Maybe add a Contribute/Contribution section with Translation/Localising and link to https://virtaal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/localising_virtaal.html in the README file so its eaiser to find since GitHub shows that file on the front page of the project.
Many projects websites have a contribute page there there might be information about translating the project which seems to work fine.
If i go to http://virtaal.translatehouse.org/ it seems i have to visit Documentation to get to Virtaal documentation and then Localising Virtaal.
But maybe it seems a little incorrect that i have to visit a link called Documentation if i want to know how to translate Virtaal because im used to that meaning Help for the software.
Like articles on how to use the software for a user.
I guess it dont have to follow what some other project uses that im used to but when i translate so many projects to can to hard to figure out where the instructions was for each.
