Getting Started

Fork & Clone

You need to fork & clone the project using git.

Suppose you already fork the project in Github to your repo:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/your-id/x-minecraft-launcher

Install

Optional, install the project using pnpm:

Under the folder you cloned, e.g. x-minecraft-launcher, run command

pnpm install

Install i18n Extension

Optional if you are using VSCode.

Install the i18n-ally (lokalise.i18n-ally) extension. The VSCode might hint you to install recommended extensions, which should already include this extension.

Found the locale file

You need to find the corresponding locale yaml file under

  • xmcl-keystone-ui/locales
  • xmcl-electron-app/main/locales

The file name is the locale code. You can reference this document to choice the locale.

Test your translation result

Optional. You need to first install the project. See #Install section above.

In VSCode, click the button on the sidebar Run and Debug, select the Electron: Main (launch), and click play button.

Or, you can try to press F5 which might be the hotkey for this operation.

This should start the launcher. You can switch to your language in setting page to test.

Adding new language

Optional. If you are adding a new language, you need to also go to the assets\locales.json and add the new language key value there.

Suppose you want to add French (fr), you can open the file assets\locales.json

{
  "zh-CN": "简体中文",
  "zh-TW": "繁體中文",
  "en": "English",
  "ru": "Русский язык",
  "es-ES": "Español"
}

adding a new line at the end

  "zh-CN": "简体中文",
  "zh-TW": "繁體中文",
  "en": "English",
