Add French translation #665
Conversation
Some translators might translate this as “éditer” when the proper translation is “modifier”.
- Add strings which need narrow non-breakable space. - Add strings about “privacy” (“confidentialité” from Mastodon). - Add strings about “curation” (“modération”). - Add strings about “follower” (“abonné” from Mastodon). - Add strings for “ reading goal” (“défi lecture”).

By the way, I added the file manually. Running the command in the README gave me the following: me@computer:~/Projects/bookwyrm$ ./bw-dev makemessages -l fr
+ case "$CMD" in
+ django-admin makemessages --extension html --ignore=venv3 -l fr
./bw-dev: line 94: django-admin: command not found |
hmm, it works for me, so I wonder if there's a configuration step I failed to document to make the |

Speaking as someone who knows zero French, this looks great! I'm going to go through the UI and improve the spots you pointed out, and now that there's a translation in place, it's much easier to see the things in the UI I missed. My only requested change is the missing quotes :) I really appreciate how promptly and thoroughly you did this! Thank you! |

Ha, damn! I searched for an easily accessible gettext linter and did not find anything that worked or that wouldn’t take me less than 5 minutes to install.
I’ll update that tomorrow.

okay I went through and fixed the obvious places I missed template translations, changes are in #666. I didn't find a super obvious solution to why the django-admin command failed, it sounds like it might be platform dependent?

I'm not sure that there's a good template-level fix for this, since that texts is preceded by a username, so there's no way to know the gender of the subject. All my support for the English singular 'they" isn't much use in a language with grammatical gender :) If getting the |
A very wild guess tells me you’re on Windows. I’m on Linux. I don’t know what would happen on Mac; I would suspect something closer to Linux than Windows.
The problem is more about the object than the subject in that case. In the context of the example I gave:
Yes please; I have no habits working with Docker or Python, so debugging the environment would take me a fair amount of time. From what I checked, there is no sign of django-admin being installed when following the steps in the README. |

right! object not subject, that makes much more sense. I'll try and fix those |

I think #667 will fix the problems with |

Github doesn't supporting uploading .po files (probably a reasonable call), but I can send you the version updated to reflect #666 through whatever means works best for you if the |
Hello…
I’m not entirely happy with things like “URL pour soutenir l’instance” but unless there is a paragraph to describe what the context of “support” is, I found it hard to make it shorter.
Also… "Texte affiché lorsque les enregistrements sont clos :" is a bit mouthful but, for now, I take it as a good way to see if the UI is solid enough. :)
I used “Comptes” (accounts) for users as it is more gender‑neutral. It would be utilisateurs et utilisatrices otherwise. Mastodon is doing the same.
I didn’t test thoroughly but it should be a fairly safe start already. I think the following could cause some issues:
in a <a href=\"%(related_path)s\">%(preview_name)s</a>will be problematic with gender‑based languages like French, Spanish and many others. a can be un or une depending on the gender of the object.Let me know. :)
