We need translations about info

[Leo2910]

Hi there, guys! I have made the Turkish translation for the SDS! Here is the translation: http://pastebin.com/SJyihPtC

[LiFaytheGoblin]

Also I suggest we don't translate the title? We've never translated the title in the German Wiki...

[hyperobject]

@TheGrits We may need to split the description into several parts in the source code so we can decide what to translate/load automagically. I'm thinking studio title, unique description, and then the standard copy-pasted stuff. Sound good?

[TheGrits]

@technoboy10 Way ahead of you. Check the js file. 😛

[TheGrits]

@LiFaytheGoblin Ok, sounds good. (It'll be easier on us too!)

[hyperobject]

Second thing to discuss: how are we going to store the translations? I've got them in a separate JSON file so that the main.js file doesn't get super big and messy, but it's not ideal because of all the links and newlines we have in the description.

[TheGrits]

@technoboy10 Normally we don't have links in the 'unique description', so it shouldn't be too bad for that. I can't think of any solutions of the top of my head for the links though...

[hyperobject]

@TheGrits Right now I have it so that the string for the unique description has all the HTML elements in it, which works but I'm not sure it's ideal.

[TheGrits]

@LiFaytheGoblin @technoboy10 What do you guys think about getting some help from bilingual Scratchers? I feel like they could help us a lot.

[hyperobject]

I'd be in favor of that.

[LiFaytheGoblin]

+1

[TheGrits]

@LiFaytheGoblin @technoboy10 Do you guys know anyone who can speak French and English fluently?

[LiFaytheGoblin]

@TheGrits Smrman on Scratch has helped me out with translation before and is working on the french wiki...

[TheGrits]

@LiFaytheGoblin I just sent him a message, we'll see what he says.

[TheGrits]

@LiFaytheGoblin @technoboy10 I have just finished adding the translations for Spanish and French. Big 👍 to mundofinky and Smrman!

[hyperobject]

@TheGrits Awesome! Should we start linking to it in the SDS description?

[TheGrits]

@technoboy10 I think we should probably get the German translation done before we link it to the description.

[hyperobject]

Oops, didn’t notice that German wasn’t done just yet.

[LiFaytheGoblin]

Argh since the last update, my desktop github is broken. It doesn't want to sync anymore. No idea why... I'll post the German translation here as soon as I have it (there's a Scratcher who wants to help with it)...

Edit: ARGH that git shell doesn't work either >.< Maybe my firewall... Oh noo >(

Edit: Yep, it was the firewall, problem solved^^

[hyperobject]

@TheGrits Now that we have an easier way for people to create translations, should we post a link to the formatter site somewhere on Scratch (or other sites - I'd be happy to post it on Twitter but I don't know if we'd rather source translations from Scratch users directly)?

[TheGrits]

@technoboy10 👍 I think it would probably be best if we only have Scratch users translating. We could always try to post the link elsewhere if we aren't getting enough translations.

[Leo2910]

I will translate it to Turkish!

[hyperobject]

@Leo2910 Awesome! Let us know when you've finished it. :)

[Leo2910]

Ok! However, I do not really understand how to translate it and where to submit my translation.

@Leo2910 Fill out the translation on http://scratchdesignstudio.github.io/translate-formatter/ and copy the result at the bottom into a text file and upload it to either Github or something like pastebin.com.

[Leo2910]

Oh, ok, that is easy! Thanks for the advice, Connor! :D

@Leo2910 Thanks for your hard work, but there's a little problem.
@technoboy10 and I designed the translate-formatter site to make it as easy as possible for the translator and us to add translations to the site. It looks like you didn't use the result from the bottom of the site, or something went wrong with pastebin.

Thanks again for your help, I hope we can get it to work!

[Leo2910]

Why? What is wrong with it? I can help fix it if you want. Can`t you just copy and paste?

[TheGrits]

Yes and no.

The result from the bottom of this page: http://scratchdesignstudio.github.io/translate-formatter/ is specially formatted with special characters for new lines and links.

What the pastebin had was the unformatted version, which means we would need to format it by hand.

[TheGrits]

@Leo2910
I just realized that we could copy and paste the unformatted result into the formatter then copy and paste the result from the formatter. (If you don't understand what I'm saying I can probably do it tomorrow)

[Leo2910]

@TheGrits I organised it into sections such as it is now in the current SDS studio. Ok, yes, I suppose we could do that. I am doing this because I want to show my determination to help in the community. I can get you some more other languages, if you would like. :D

[hyperobject]

@Leo2910 There should be a section at the bottom of the formatter site labeled 'Result' with a text box, did that show up for you?

[Leo2910]

No

Ah, ok. If you could use the formatter site for any other languages you
translate, it makes it a little easier for us to add your translation to
the info site. :)
