Update translations

Help Translating COPS to your language

Even if you're not a developer, you can help by translating COPS to your language.

Translating online (using Gitlocalize platform)

The preferable method: directly on your browser. You can update translation online using free Gitlocalize platform: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/9640

• No software to install, just join in and translate in your browser (or request your language if missing)!

Translation updates

• Translators just need to translate using Gitlocalize.
• English file under Github is the master that will be synchronized to Gitlocalize
• Translations under Gitlocalize are considered "work in progress" and should be considered as the "most recent translations."
• After updating a language translation, translator clicks on "Review Request" in Gitlozalize
• COPS translation admin will review the request on Gitlocalize, and when accepted Gitlocalize will create a pull request on Github
• COPS developer/maintainer will integrate the Github pull request for next release
• Translations under Github should be considered "translations deployed."

Deprecated method - Translating online (using Transifex platform)

The preferable method: directly on your browser. You can update translation online using free Transifex platform: https://app.transifex.com/aletris/cops/

• No software to install, just join in and translate in your browser (or request your language if missing)!

Deprecated teamwork

• Translate using Transifex.
• Invite others to help with your language.
• A language team can have 3 levels of quality control: coordinators, revisers and translators
• Mark translations as "revised" so junior translators can't change it.

Deprecated method - Directly on Github

• Download current translation file (or choose English if your language is missing): https://github.com/seblucas/cops/tree/master/lang (Choose RAW to download).
• Open this file with text editor (I use Notepad++ for example).
• Each line starting with ##TODO## has a missing translation
• If you fix the translation then remove the ##TODO##
• You don't have to translate all the languages at the end of the file.
• Send me the modified file (my email is in every file in COPS), I'll commit it (please specify your full name / email / alias for the commit).
