For translators

How translation works

Each values[.*]/strings.xml file contains lines like this:

<string name="tagname">My translation</string>

Simply translate the text between the tags (e.g. replace My Translation with your translation).

The special symbol \n can be used to indicate a new line.

When your changes are done, create a pull request so they can be reviewed and, if appropriate, merged into the main branch.

The list above reflects the languages currently supported by TheoTown. If you are interested in a language that is not listed, please contact us before starting a translation, as additional languages are only considered on a case-by-case basis.

English and German translations will always be up to date. New strings will be appended to all strings.xml files in English by default.

Escaping characters

Certain characters cannot be written directly within the xml file. You will have to replace them according to the following table:

Character	Escaped form
"	"
'	' or \'
<	&lt;
>	&gt;
&	&amp;

Sidenote: In Json based translations all you have to replace is " by \".
