eSteem - Calling For Volunteer Translators

[good-karma]

Asking community to assist us with translating eSteem app to their own languages...

There are ~230 phrases in English.
All locale files can be found in this folder

https://github.com/feruzm/esteem/tree/master/src/posts/locales

cn.json - Chinese
de.json - German
en.json - English (original)
es.json - Spanish
fr.json - French
it.json - Italian
jp.json - Japan
kr.json - Korean
ru.json - Russian
tr.json - Turkish

Any other language volunteers, please use en.json to translate to your own language and once it is ready we can create related files to include in app.

How the files look like and how to translate them:

{
    "HOME": "Home",
    "LOGIN": "Login",
    "LOGOUT": "Logout",
    "PROFILE": "Profile",
         ....

So above is excerpt from files, only second part of text needs translation, example in Russian would be as follows:

{
    "HOME": "Главная",
    "LOGIN": "Войти",
    "LOGOUT": "Выйти",
    "PROFILE": "Профиль",
         ....

Thank to Russian community, they are now working on translation. List's been updated recently and should have all latest text. If you want to help with translation of any language, please get in touch. Thank you!

[good-karma]

Arabic translation would be appreciated, en.json has all phrases, please take a look and see if we can do Arabic translation and once ready we can test app to see how changes have effected functionality since Arabic is right to left it should be tested but exciting to see Arabic language as well... 👍

[achim86]

De -> Deutsch -> German not dutch, or? :o

I could do the german ones if you want :) Also resteemed the post

[good-karma]

yes it is German, updated to clarify :D
Please, do... I could use gtranslate, but I know it doesn't do perfect translations. thanks!

We can literally add any language, if user's want. Now that base code is ready to adapt.

[dez1337]

Cool :) Ye, I will have a look at the weekend to do the translation :)

[good-karma]

please make a post once ready, if you like so we (community) can support your efforts! thanks ;)

[mallorca]

@dez1337 Let me know if you need some help :)

[mallorca]

I tried to fork it @good-karma @dez1337 did I do it correctly ?
Maybe one of us starts at bottom and the other one at top, what do you think ?

[good-karma]

double checks translation or working together could be even more efficient 👍

[good-karma]

Please check update: https://steemit.com/esteem/@good-karma/esteem-calling-for-volunteer-translators-update

[mallorca]

@good-karma just created a github account, do I need to create a folk for it or how does it work ;)

[good-karma]

You can make a pull request. If complicated, you can just download en.json and translate it in your favorite editor and send file via chat or email that would work as well.

[dez1337]

I've also forked the project and will do a pull request tomorrow for the german language :) And yes: Some reviews will be needed i think :)

[dez1337]

Hay @mallorca,

I've did the translation as described in the update post. You may want to have a look and fix some things. :)

[mallorca]

[good-karma]

Once you open above link you can find fr.json and start translating phrases, once ready we can find a way to receive it via chat or post, comment etc. thank you for contributing, looking forward for French translation 🇫🇷

[pickoum]

Thanks I started and I do half but I hesitate to translate some words like downvote, upvote, followers... We use these words in French they are angliscism understandable. What do you think about?

[good-karma]

Anything that's understood by French speaker should be ok 👌 we can improve it over time if necessary 😉

[good-karma]

Please check update: https://steemit.com/esteem/@good-karma/esteem-calling-for-volunteer-translators-update

[pickoum]

Hey, I check it, now I m on POEditor but I can't open the french on my Dashboard I never use this website maybe I m doing wrong... Do I have to translate in a text and then copy paste on POEditor or is there a way to translate directly into the website?

[rossenpavlov]

I can do Bulgarian

[good-karma]

Please do, en.json file in above link has all phrases. Once you finished translation, we can add it right on next update. 🇧🇬 exciting to see so many language additions... 😊

[liondani]

If you include Greek with gr.json I will translate it...

[good-karma]

Sure, en.json is for purpose of other languages translation other files are copy of it, feel free to use en.json and once ready we can add any language easily. Thank you for offer, how exciting to see many languages being offered addition. 😊 Looking forward to Greek 🇬🇷

[ace108]

Just a comment. Chinese is mostly in two character script: Simplified (used in China and Singapore) and traditional (used in Hong Kong and Taiwan).
Something like steemit specific is kind of hard to translate, e.g., upvote, you could say it's similar to FB like and take the same translation but it can get quite difficult.

[good-karma]

thanks ace for comment, we can use both versions: simplified and traditional.. I understand it might be difficult with some terms, but it shouldn't be word by word translation, for example upvote can be positive vote or something similar or easier to understand. Would love addition of Chinese since we have number of users already from that community... 🇨🇳

Please check update: https://steemit.com/esteem/@good-karma/esteem-calling-for-volunteer-translators-update

[alamyrjunior]

Well...I did more than 70% of portuguese translation, some of the words are quite tricky, but i'll try do some more tomorrow! ;D

[good-karma]

Thanks, appreciate it! Yes it can be tricky, we tried to simplify some wordings as well... looking forward to finished Portuguese translation

[ervin-lemark]

I volunteer for Slovenian translation. I will push it when ready.

A side question. Is it possible to create a post in eSteem?

Thanks!

[good-karma]

Hi Ervin, thanks! Yes it is, latest release had small issue and it is fixed now, update will be posted tomorrow, hopefully we will include one language as well... Stay tuned!

[ervin-lemark]

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't find the post option for the life of me. Now I know why :)

[good-karma]

Reply on comments should work fine though! Let me know if you could 😊

[bleujay]

Thank you for posting @good-karma. Apologies extended....the eSteem app on IOS ipad is still not allowing the submission of posts. Many attempts....have updated.....have reinstalled.....have shut down the ipad.....the app is also crashing. Would appreciate any assistance as submitting through eSteem is the least time consuming way to submit a post for @bleujay.

Thank you for the opportunity to express thought and thank you for your hard work.

[good-karma]

Thank you @bleujay! Yes this small syntax issue was found after submission to AppStore. It is now fixed and will soon be pushed to AppStore. Sorry for the trouble though...Can you also clarify crash details?

[bleujay]

Thank you for your reply. Appreciate your working on it. The app whilst a post is attempted will lock up and one must turn off the ipad in order to restart writing a post.....is that a 'crash'?
Thank you bleujay did read you were working on the app for IOS and thought perhaps it was not realized the extent of the trouble.
All the best to you.

[liondani]

My wife has the same problem with android phone today on the new version !!!

PS No crash just the button to submit doesn't work at all, like you never pushed it!
