Translating PDF Reader Pro

[ahmmedrejowan]

PDF Reader Pro is translated by the community, and help is always welcome, whether that's a whole new language or fixing a single word that reads wrong.

How to help

1. Open the project on Crowdin and sign in (a GitHub or Google account works).
2. Pick your language and start translating in the browser. No Git, Android Studio or coding needed.
3. Your work is collected into a pull request on GitHub and ships in the next release.

Native speakers who can review an existing language are just as valuable as new translators, since some languages were first translated with machine help.

The README is translated on Crowdin too, into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Russian. If you'd like it in your language, say so here.

A few guidelines

• Keep placeholders such as %s, %1$d and \n exactly as they are; they're replaced with names and numbers in the app.
• Keep translations about as short as the English. Most strings are buttons and labels on a phone screen.
• Use the everyday words people know from other apps rather than formal or literal translations.
• Some terms stay as they are: PDF Reader Pro, PDF, GitHub, AMOLED, PNG, JPG and GPL. Crowdin highlights them for you.
• Screenshots of the app are attached in Crowdin, so you can see where a string appears.

Questions and new languages

Reply here if your language is missing, a string is unclear, or you're not sure how something is used in the app. You can also leave comments on individual strings in Crowdin.

I’ve reviewed the Simplified Chinese translations and refined a few phrases in Crowdin. If there are any new strings to translate in the future, I’d be happy to help in my spare time.

[ahmmedrejowan]

Thank you @Infinifar, that is really helpful! Native speaker review is exactly what the Chinese translation needed.

I went through your edits. The ones for "Let's Get those PDFs" and "Type part of the PDF name to find it quickly" read better than mine. One small thing: the suggestion for "Efficiently locate and access any PDF you want" ends with a stray 0 (快速找到并打开任何 PDF0), so I'll keep the current text there unless you meant something else.

New strings show up on Crowdin automatically when they are added to the app, so any help in your spare time is very welcome. Thanks again!

[Infinifar]

Sorry about that—the “0” was a typo on my part, and I didn’t mean anything else. Please keep the current text there. Thanks for catching it!

[ahmmedrejowan]

No problem at all, kept the current text there.

Your two refinements are approved and merged (#112), so they will be in the next release. You are also credited for Chinese in the new language table in the README and the wiki. Thanks again!

[Infinifar]

You're very welcome--glad the refinements
were useful.
