Localization/translation?

[Repsionu]

I know that this superb project is still in early beta stage :-)
But for everyday use by family it would be nice to have native language setup (OK thanks to lokalise we have a frontend native language for Alarm Panel at least)- as some of them are smart enough to add/delete something (with permissions but not enough English knowledge :-( )
That would make a great WAF effect :-)
Best, JR

I am currently changing the frontend quite a bit, all texts in the panel will be loaded from a localize file.
So preparations are being made for supporting multi-language UI.

I think its still a bit early-stage to start rolling out translations though...
Chances are that the files need to be revised often.

Eventually this is up to the volunteers/enthousiasts themselves to decide...
I will keep you posted if I have made more progress here.

Are you still interested in using Alarmo and helping out with the translation?
I think in the meantime the 'dust has settled', the UI will not change much now.

Hi, i can help you to translate in italian if you want.
Contact me if you want :-)

[nielsfaber]

@mccoy88f if you want to contribute with a translation, please take this file as starting point: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nielsfaber/alarmo/main/custom_components/alarmo/frontend/localize/languages/en.json

If you replace all texts by Italian translation, it can be added.
You can also propose improvements for the original English file.

Ok i Will work on It this night 💪

Is there a way to test it locally on my ha? I have a alpha version :-)

Yes there is, but it is not trivial.
If you make a full checkout of this repository, you can make changes to the frontend.
You will need to have node.js / npm + some packages to be able to work with it.
If you run npm install and then npm start (from the /frontend/ directory), the script should automatically recompile the typescript files when you make a change.
You could replace the en.json with your italian version, or add yours and update the localize.ts.

If you don't want to go through this trouble, you can also just open a PR with your it.json.
You can see the results when a next update is released.

I will close this issue since the translation of @Repsionu is now in place.
More translations are always welcome, if help is needed let me know.
