Thanks for taking an interest in bringing these writings to a wider audience.
Within the articles folder you'll find the English writings, while translated articles are found in the translations subdirectory. To start localising, please go to Crowdin, choose a language and an article; and then let Crowdin guide you through the process.
Apart from any article, articles/_index.md, resources/strings.toml and resources/generations.yaml need to be translated as well.
When you finish translating a document, please open an issue here so I can review it and deploy it. Feel free to ask me for help if you need.
Finally, you can also sign the authors log with your name (please don't sign other people's names, unless you have their consent). This will appear on the article subheader.
Translating can get messy, so these are the guidelines to help keep the content consistent:
- Common tech terminology is tricky to translate, sometimes it can be translated, sometimes not. If you doubt, just leave it untranslated.
- Some unique names may seem 'translatable' (i.e. the 'Scalar Unit' of the Nintendo 64) however it mustn't be translated, since it's a term used to identify that component and no other.
- There may be sentences constructed in a way that only in English they will sound 'natural', feel free to re-construct them if you find a better form in your language.
I hope I don't sound bossy with this, I'm actually very grateful to anyone that helps me improve the site!
It's not very often, but I may add some new content to an existing article that has been translated already. In this case, I can only maintain English, Spanish and Catalan translations. For the rest of languages, Crowdin can notify previous translators whenever there's new changes detected.
Thanks!
