[How to] Help to translate JoinMobilizon.org

[Pouhiou]

Note : we want to try and test this forum Wiki Post feature as a translation tool, for the joinmobilizon.org website. We are experimenting and discovering as we go, along with you

“Where do I go?”

• Go to the topic of your native language. E.g.: if you want to translate to italian, go to the[joinmobilizon.org] it-IT Italiano topic
• If the topic of your language doesn’t exists, please ask for it in reply to this post, and we’ll prepare it.
• Our pages have been originaly built in French, but the default language for translations will be English
• On your target language topic, look at the first few posts: they contain the code (in .yml) of pages of the joinmobilizon.org website
• The pages F.A.Q., News and Medias Area will be the more likely to get new content to translate: check them first !

“How do I edit a wiki-post?”

• Only one person at a time can edit a post
• Go to the post featuring the page you want to translate
• On the bottom-right corner, click on the edit button, e.g.:
  

“How do I translate?”

• Translate the sentences (the red parts of the code), under the ``` yaml part
• Never use a ' , it would break the code: use ’ instead
• If a text is between', please leave those characters, they are part of the code
• Don’t leave any choice: write yours
• If it’s already translated, don’t change it unless you’re sure yours is better

When I’m done

• Click on save edit
• Go down the topic to bookmark it for future modifications
• Reply to the translation topic if you want to discuss or ask anything
• If the translation is complete, mention us, we’ll integrate it to the website

ping @dErrata : here is the tool we were thinking about!

[dErrata]

Thanks. I’ll have a look.

Hello @Pouhiou !
Could you please create [joinmobilizon.org] ru-RU Russian topic.
I will try to complete the Russian translation as soon as possible, to open the fundraising campaign to a new audience.

Would like to help out and translate to Swedish. How to go about?

[Breakthrough]

Hi, I’d like to get in touch with anybody managing weblate.framasoft.org, about how to interact between translators.
I wonder whether @Pouhiou can help me, for example.
Thanks.

[Pouhiou]

I’m afraid I can’t, as I don’t know weblate at all. But I’ve asked around for help!

Hey
I take the mobilizon splash page mobilizon.org as example for a tiny project you can open by yourself with little efforts. I assume you have an account on weblate.framasoft.org.
Just go to here: https://weblate.framasoft.org/projects/mobilizon-org/main/ , log in, and start a new translation with the button « start new translation ». Swedish is there.
All the best,

Please create a topic [joinmobilizon.org] gd Gàidhlig for me and give me edit permissions.

I could also take a look at translating the remaining French bits into English.

ETA: I have found the files in the git repo and will translate with an offline tool that has a YAML filter. Will be much, much easier for me than manually fiddling with wiki pages, and I’ll just watch this topic for updates. Will that work for you?

ETA: I have now found https://weblate.framasoft.org/projects/joinmobilizon/ I recommend editing the first post in this topic so people will find & use it.
