Ciao everyone, recently I was asked on the GitHub discussions section of the repository whether it would be possible to host translations on Weblate in order to crowdsource the effort of localization. I had created that thread myself a lot of time ago and forgot about it as it had no interactions. But that user was right, the translation into their language was of poor quality and in my opinion all users deserve to use the app in their native language and have a good experience with it.
I decided then to move all the resources to Weblate and see if anyone wants to help out. Feel free to add languages, be them national, regional, or even constructed languages, because for me they matter too and, in case you didn’t notice, Raccoon is available also in Esperanto and Toki Pona.
I hope you like this initiative and, as always, thanks for your suggestions, ideas, contributions and support.
Since here I am using a library which is totally independent from Android (and this is a multiplatform app where most of the code is system-agnostic) I can have a try… it may work! Could you suggest me something in Pirate English to have a try (e.g. some item in the settings screen like “Language”), before creating anything on Weblate?
If you are using a seperate library, it should work, and you got toki pona to work which has the same problem.
I don’t get what you are asking here, can you elaborate?
Yes I am confident that it may work… I just need a replacement for some UI element like, say, the “Language” item in the settings screen to see if the changes are applied. Or the bottom bar “Posts, Explore, Profile, Inbox, Settings” labels.
You can use Lingo for language
I confirm that it works! If someone volunteers to finish the translation, I can add the language to the project.
I will translate it, but I can’t seem to find it in the weblate.
Added… the “Notifications” component will not work because it relies on Android internals. But the “App” component is the main one so it is more than enough!
Thanks!
