Add language for internationalisation

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

The software is developed in english. Other available languages are :

• Brazilian-Portuguese thanks to Rafael Capaci
• Chinese thanks to 朱聖黎 (Zhu Sheng Li)
• French thanks to Pierre Sassoulas
• German thanks to Georg Elsas
• Indonesian thanks to Dhana Dhira
• Japanese thanks to Nobukuni Suzue
• Spanish thanks to Javier Ordóñez
• Russian thanks to Vlad M.
• Polish thanks to Daniel Horner
• Turkish thanks to Hüseyin Emre Armağan

Language asked by a user, but not available yet:

• Hindi
• Hungarian

If you're susceptible of using django-survey in a language that is not available, making and giving back the translation with a pull request would be very helpful.

Add your language in the LANGUAGE variable in the settings, like here.

Then you can translate with :

python manage.py makemessages
# python manage.py createsuperuser ? (You need to login for rosetta)
python manage.py runserver
# Access http://localhost:8000/admin to login
# Then go to http://localhost:8000/rosetta to translate
python manage.py makemessages --no-obsolete --no-wrap

If your language is not yet available in rosetta, this stack overflow question should work even for a language not handled by Django : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12946830/

Do not forget to credit yourself like in the header see here

Can I help internationalization? I am Japanese, learning about web development using Django.

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

Yes, that would be very kind of you indeed. Do not hesitate to ask questions if something is not clear in the english text of the application, to launch rosetta, to create a fork, a pull request or any kind of problem you encounter really. I'd be happy to help you get started. Le Mer 4 Avr 2018 15:41, Nobukuni Suzue <notifications@github.com> a écrit :

@Pierre-Sassoulas i want to take this, which languages should I start with ?

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

Hi @gurungrahul2,

Thank you for your interest in this project. Right now we already have english, japanese, spanish and french. Apart from those, pick the language you are the most comfortable with, or the language in which you are the more likely to use this application yourself :)

question: i've been perusing the codebase, and it seems like you can only run a survey in one language at a time?

what if you wanted to have a survey that operated in multiple languages depending on the user's locale. is that possible? i can't immediately tell from looking at the code base.

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

@apurvis The interface itself can be changed by the user, the content of the survey's question is set in a particular language. We'd need to have multiple values in database (one for each language) if we wanted to also change the survey's question and answer language. this is not trivial, see https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ModelInterNationalization.

An easier solution (that don't scale that well), would be to manually create two surveys one in each language and redirect the user to the one of interest for him.

Hi Pierre, i want to help translate this documentation into Indonesian language, if its interest you

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

Hi @sodrooome , do you know where to start? Do you need me to create the .po file?

[sodrooome]

for now it might not be necessary, I will try to translate it according to the instructions that you made. Thank you for the respond

[ddhira123]

Hi, @Pierre-Sassoulas @sodrooome. Can I join you to help to translate this documentation in Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian)?

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

Hi @ddhira123 thank you for wanting to translate django-survey. I think the easiest way to do it for you would be to start from zero, I think @sodrooome do not have a fork of the project right now and the last message is a year old (exactly :)) . I'd be happy to help you if you have any question.

[ddhira123]

Hi @Pierre-Sassoulas Would you mind if I ask you to create the configurations such as .po file and another things required so that I would need to only focus on translations? Thank you

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

@ddhira123 sure, let me know if https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Pierre-Sassoulas/django-survey/c8f0b5ba37981eb96c57a646ca279aea85cdee73/survey/locale/id/LC_MESSAGES/django.po is working for you ? It's in survey/locale/id/LC_MESSAGES/django.po on the latest master if you want to create a pull request :)

[ddhira123]

Hi @Pierre-Sassoulas I have done the translation in .po file you had referenced. Before I do the pull request, could you please put the tag hacktoberfest on your repo so my PR would be counted for hacktoberfest for this year? This is regarding the new rules stated here: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/hacktoberfest-update . Sorry for causing such troubles for you and Thank you for your hard work!

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

No problem I added the label :) Thank you for contributing !

[sotiriszogos]

Hello, I can add Greek language if you would like.

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

That would be very nice @sotiriszogos !
