How to add a new translation

  1. Create a subfolder of the nls folder whose name is the language or locale you want to create a translation for.
    • If you're creating a general translation for a language, just use its two-letter code (e.g. en, de).
    • If you're creating a locale-specific translation for a particular country, add a hyphen and the country code in lowercase (e.g. en-ca, en-gb).
  2. Add an entry for your translation to the module.exports object in nls/strings.js. (Eventually, we should remove this requirement and just scan the folder for available languages.)
  3. Copy the root strings.js file into your subfolder and start translating!
  4. Use the UI walkthrough steps to see strings in context.

Strings not specified in a given locale will fall back to the general language (without hyphen) first, and then will fall back to the English string from nls/root/strings.js.

Localization is provided via the require.js i18n plugin.

Translating the Getting Started project

When first installed, Brackets will open a Getting Started project that serves as an introduction to Brackets features. This project can be translated by providing a urls.js file that points to a localized directory under the samples folder at the root of the Brackets repository. See the French localization (src/nls/fr/urls.js) for an example.

How to modify existing translations

Adobe-maintained translations

Adobe provides translations for the following languages:

  • French (fr)
  • Japanese (ja)

These translations cannot be modified through our normal pull request process. Please contribute changes one of these ways:

  1. File an issue in our GitHub repository https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues
  2. Submit a proposal at the Adobe® Translation Center (ATC), under the Brackets product. At ATC, proposals can be voted on by peers and are eventually accepted by moderators.

Community-maintained translations

The following languages have been contributed by the Brackets community:

  • Czech (cs)
  • German (de)
  • Spanish (es)
  • Italian (it)
  • Norwegian Bokmål (nb)
  • Polish (pl)
  • Brazilian Portuguese (pt-br)
  • Portuguese (pt-pt)
  • Russian (ru)
  • Swedish (sv)
  • Turkish (tr)
  • Simlified Chinese (zh-cn)

These translations can be directly modified through our normal pull request process.

In the future, Adobe may begin maintaining some of these languages too, at which point the process will switch to the one above. But until then, please do not use http://translate.adobe.com for these languages.

Translation limitations

Some strings cannot be localized yet:
