Rahim is seeking a solution to view and translate all text strings in one place for their non-English Discourse instance. They wish for a feature similar to WordPress’s Loco Translate plugin, which would allow them to easily find and fix translation issues.
Falco suggests contributing translation fixes to benefit everyone, but Rahim replies that this isn’t suitable for custom translations. They hope for an admin page with all strings and a field for customization.
Gerhard proposes using a plugin to override translations by modifying the config/client.<locale>.yml and config/server.<locale>.yml files.
Hello community,
I am looking for a solution to see all the text strings at one place and be able to translate them right away.
I am not using the English version of Discourse. Whenever I see an inappropriate translation, I go to find that string and fix the translation.
I wish there was a feature like WordPress to install a plugin like Loco Translate, and see all the strings and fix them at once.
Regards.
The best would be to contribute the translation fixes following Contribute a translation to Discourse, that way everyone benefits from it and you can translate from a better interface.
Any other idea?
Thank you @Falco for the answer.
I know there is an option to contribute for the translation for global benefits but this is not a good idea for custom translation.
most of the times I customize the strings to my desired translation which will not work for others.
I wish the admin area had a page with all strings and a field to customize them.
So the Forum admin can fix and customize the translations.
You could use a plugin to override translations. It doesn’t have to contain much other than the config/client.<locale>.yml and config/server.<locale>.yml files.
