- go to the github repository of the plugin, e. g. discourse-canned-replies.
-
go to
/config/locales
folder of the plugin. you should see someyml
files, likeclient.en.yml
andserver.en.yml
. -
the client file is for the text parts in client side and is more important to be translated. texts in server file are only shown to admins.
-
open the English yml file, as we want to first translate this file.
-
press
create new file
button. -
copy the text in
client.en.yml
into the new file. -
change the first line from
en
to the proper locale name in discourse. e.g. I want to translate it to Persian, the correct locale name would befa_IR
. -
now translate the strings between quotations
"
to your preferred language. -
save the file into another file named
client.fa.yml
, if you’re translating it into German the name would be something like thisclient.de.yml
. -
fill out the information for the file like:
Persian translation of client.en.yml
. -
then you should add a pull request, and wait for the plugin owner to accept it.
BTW, there are other topics which show the way for this, but as I didn’t find it in howto just added my own experience: https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-add-plugin-translations/19890?u=pad_pors
