Translation Option 1

Translation, Option 1: edit the JSON by hand

This is the fastest way to get started, but the hardest to keep updated: every time new keys are added, you'll need to find and translate them manually with no tooling to help.

1. Download en-US.json. This is the base language file and contains every key.

2. Translate it. Open it in Visual Studio Code or any text editor, and translate the values.

   Note: only change the value on the right of each :. The key on the left is what the app uses to look up the string, so leave it untouched. Also leave placeholders like {{name}} and tags like <button /> alone: those get replaced with real names, versions, or buttons before the text is shown.

3. Send it. Open a pull request against the RiftLauncher repository with your translated file, or share it on the Stratum Discord server with:

   Name for credits: Your name or Anonymous
   Lang code: es-ES, en-US, fr-FR...
   Lang name: Español (España), English, Français...
   

Your translation will be reviewed and added in the next update. If anything needs fixing, you'll be contacted on the same channel you used to send it.
