Your contribution

SFTools makes an effort to reach and be understood by all players. There's an option to have the page to different languages. But for that we need your help filling the gaps. This is a guide to help you translate SFTools to your language for all to enjoy.

Translating with Crowdin

Recently, translation for SFTools was moved to Crowdin. You can find project page here.

Sign up

To contribute to the project, sign up to Crowdin. You can use mail, Google, Facebook, GitHub, Twitter and GitLab.

Contributing

After signing in to your account, you can easily contribute to the project: just click on the language that you wish to contribute to, then open en.json and start translating keys (note: if it's the first time you are using Crowdin, a nice tutorial will pop up).

Your translations will not be approved instantly, a proofreader will have to check them (if you already are a proofreader, there's an option to auto-approve your commits).

Tips for proofreaders

To ease the proofreading process, from the project home right-click on your language and select "proofread" (note: the option won't be there if you don't have proofreading access). This will open a side-by-side view from which is much easier to review translations (it's also possible to bulk accept them, which is time-saving).
