asked 2016-05-12 20:30:30 +0300
This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
(this thread is reviewed on a monthly basis)
Q: How can I suggest a new language?
A: Add an answer below, if you have checked it hasn't been requested yet.
Q: My language was added to the translation tool, great thanks! How can others and myself enjoy translating it the most?
A: The answer is here.
Q: My language hasn't been added yet :(
A: Ensure it has a coordinator assigned, and if not, nominate yourself. Then we'll add your language to the tool.
Q: What is a coordinator?
A: The answer is here.
Q: How can I test the translation on my device?
A: Ping @martonmiklos and ask to build an rpm for your language. If desired, the localisation packages will be published on OpenRepos. You could also manage the RPM build by yourself. Here you can find the scripts used for building the current packages.
Cheers!
