Motivation

The motivation behind Ambie is to build a simple but beautiful soothing sounds player for Windows. Animations are used to enhance the experience. Only a few UI elements are available in the app. This is on purpose because for Ambie, less is more.

Translation

Ambie needs volunteer translators! To help translate, follow these instructions.

Adding a new language (requires Visual Studio 2019)

• Create a new issue with the subject [Translation] fr-CA where you replace fr-CA with whatever language-region code you'll be translating into.
  • If an issue already exists, then don't do this step.
• Fork and clone this repo
• Open in VS 2019
• In the AmbientSounds.Uwp project, find the Strings folder.
• Create a new folder inside Strings that looks like this: en-US but using the language you're translating into.
• Add a new Resources.resw item in that new folder
• Copy all the existing data from Strings > en-US into your new Resources.resw
• Translate the strings from english to your language
• Once done, then commit > push > create pull request!

Improving an existing language (can be done with any text editor)

• Fork and clone this repo
• Open the the .resw file (e.g. en-US > Resources.resw) you want to edit. Choose any text editor
• Translate
• Commit > push > create pull request!
