Translations can be added via Pontoon: https://pontoon.mozilla.org/projects/webthings-gateway/

Old Instructions

  • Start in the WebThings Gateway repository: https://github.com/mozilla-iot/gateway
  • Copy static/fluent/en-US/main.ftl to static/fluent/<your language>/main.ftl
  • Translate the text in that file
  • Perform the following code changes

Add the language to availableLanguages in static/js/fluent.js:

const availableLanguages = {
  de: ['/fluent/de/main.ftl'],
  'en-US': ['/fluent/en-US/main.ftl'],
  en: ['/fluent/en-US/main.ftl'],
  fr: ['/fluent/fr/main.ftl'],
  'fy-NL': ['/fluent/fy-NL/main.ftl'],
  it: ['/fluent/it/main.ftl'],
  ja: ['/fluent/ja/main.ftl'],
  nl: ['/fluent/nl/main.ftl'],
  pl: ['/fluent/pl/main.ftl'],
  ru: ['/fluent/ru/main.ftl'],
  sr: ['/fluent/sr/main.ftl'],
  // your language
};

Add the language to l10n.toml:

locales = [
  "de",
  "fr",
  "fy-NL",
  "it",
  "ja",
  "nl",
  "pl",
  "ru",
  "sr",
  # your language
]

Modify the country code in that file's load() function if you want to test it out

  language = 'your language'; // response.current || navigator.language || 'en-US';
