Translations

We manage translations through Transifex. if works like this (roughly, please correct it when you do it)

1. You log in to Transifex.
2. You choose the language you want to translate.
3. After you translated, it will be automatically included in new versions. If you cannot wait for it to be included, please open an issue.

Requesting Languages and Sharing Translations

If you request a language e.g. German, you can request German de, German for Germany de-DE and, German auf Austria de-AU.

Please translate the common part (de, en, fr, ...) before the contry specific language (de-DE, en-US, fr-FR, ...). As an example, if you translate to German de, you automatically share the translations with German for Germany de-DE and German for Austria de-AU.

Priority List

Here is a priority list for translations:

• descriptions for F-Droid
• plant names and menu items and titles of activities
• descriptions and text
• dialogs
• error messages
• privacy policy

You can choose to translate the title to your language.

Which either checks out files or removes them.
