Discourse-narrative-bot locales

[karasardelis (Konstantinos Karasardelis)]

Hi there and congratulation for your great work on Discourse!!!

Do you regularly update all locale files from Transifex? I recently finished translating Discourse to Greek language and although most of the translated strings are in place, the discobot translation is missing. I checked on Github and the el locale is not there (discourse-narrative-bot/config/locales). Can you please fully update language files for Greek language and issue a version update? I’m waiting to bring my site live…

Thank you!!!

The translations are updated regularly, the last update was 17 hours ago:

update translations

However, this only updates existing translations, it does not add new ones, and it looks like Greek is still missing in the repository. You can create a pull request to add it – here are the instructions:

How to add a new language

Contribute translations The first step is to do some translating in our Crowdin workspace. Create an account and start translating in one or more languages. See Contributing translations to Discourse for more information about that. Add language to Discourse These instructions are currently out of date! You have two options when you think that the translation is ready to be included in Discourse: Post in this topic and ask for your language to be included in Discourse. There m…

This is something new for me… i did it, but i’m not sure that i did it the right way.

I suppose that i have to wait for someone to check the zip files i uploaded and the wait some more for the next Discourse update?

I see you created two pull requests:

Create client.el.yml

Create server.el.yml

The files you created are empty, however, so I think this won’t work.

If you’re very lucky, maybe a team member can have a look into integrating the translations despite being in their yearly meeting?

I uploaded them as zip files…

My mistake…

[karasardelis (Konstantinos Karasardelis)]

I created a new pull request. This time a attached the text in the files instead of uploading them as zip files. I hope it’s ok now…

[fefrei (Felix Freiberger)]

That looks better! Since Greek is already supported by Core, this may be enough, but I’m no expert in this. Let’s hope one of the devs finds the time to validate and merge this soon

For reference, here are the new pull requests:

Create client.el.yml

Create server.el.yml

(You may want to close the old requests.)

That looks better!

Thank you for your help!!!

The script we use for pulling translations from Transifex did only update already existing locale files. I updated our script so that it also adds missing locale files.

Ensure that all locale files are pulled from Transifex

And I updated all translations and added a few missing locale files.

@karasardelis Thanks for your PRs. I closed them since they had the wrong language in the file header, but I added the Greek locale files in my commit.

Hey, this is great news!!! Thanks!!!

[karasardelis (Konstantinos Karasardelis)]

I suppose i have to wait a while for the new language files to reach my site. Can you force an update?

The changes are live on tests-passed, so you just need to update your instance. If there’s no button in your admin panel, just go directly to /admin/upgrade

@david

you just need to update your instance

I just did that earlier, thanks. That worked!!!

Hallo! Erstmal vielen Dank für dieses fantastische Forum. Unsere Community erstreckt sich über den gesamten Globus, und die Unterstützung so vieler Sprachen ist eine großartige Funktion.

Unsere tschechische Community-Managerin hat mich gefragt, ob sie helfen könnte, die Übersetzung des narrativen Bots ins Tschechische zu aktualisieren bzw. zu vervollständigen. Es scheint, dass große Teile noch auf Englisch sind.

Wie können wir eine bessere Übersetzung erreichen?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen – Georg aus Wien/Österreich

Hallo Georg, Grüße aus Graz.
Wir sind immer dankbar für neue Übersetzer, besonders für Sprachen wie Tschechisch, für die wir derzeit keine aktiven Übersetzer haben. Bitte leite deinen Community-Manager an translate.discourse.org weiter.

Hallo Gerhard

Meine Community Managerin wird ein Profil anlegen und sich der tschechischen Übersetzung annehmen. Wir hosten Discourse selbst auf unserem Server. Wie kommt ihre Übersetzung dann zu uns? Einfach beim nächsten Update oder ist ein besonderer Prozess notwendig?

[gerhard (Gerhard Schlager)]

Beim nächsten Update.
