Update translations

Help Translating COPS to your language

Even if you're not a developer, you can help by translating COPS to your language.

Translating online (using Gitlocalize platform)

The preferable method: directly on your browser. You can update translation online using free Gitlocalize platform: https://gitlocalize.com/repo/9640

• No software to install, just join in and translate in your browser (or request your language if missing)!

Translation updates

• Translators just need to translate using Gitlocalize.
• English file under Github is the master that will be synchronized to Gitlocalize
• Translations under Gitlocalize are considered "work in progress" and should be considered as the "most recent translations."
• After updating a language translation, translator clicks on "Review Request" in Gitlozalize
• COPS translation admin or the language proofreader will review the request on Gitlocalize, and when accepted Gitlocalize will create a pull request on Github
• COPS developer/maintainer will integrate the Github pull request for next release
• Translations under Github should be considered "translations deployed."
