Help to translate the add-on into your language

Help request

I need volunteers to translate and keep up to date the add-on into your language.

You can contribute either individually for your purpose or join the team of translators to https://github.com/add-ons/translations

Thanks for your time.

Status of language translations

In this link you can find the status for each language translation and the current translators to: https://github.com/add-ons/translations/issues/7

Another option to verify the status of translations is check-translations on CI:

1. Open Actions page
2. Select Kodi on workflows entries on left menu
3. On the right appears the list of Jobs, select the most recent job of master branch (see date/time)
4. In the job page, select Addon checker ( ... ) entry on the left menu
5. In the dark status page open Checking language translations section, should look like the screenshot
6. Find your language file to see if there is some warning message The numbers after .../strings.po:xxx indicates the row numbers where the problem is. If you do not find your language file there, there are no problems to correct.

Just one simple rule

Each translation can be maintained by multiple users, it is mandatory to tag in every PR you propose every translator involved in your language, to give the opportunity to guarantee a review.

You can see the list of translators in this post: https://github.com/add-ons/translations/issues/7

How to translate

If your language need only to be updated You can find the file language translation at this folder: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/tree/master/resources/language

Usually the missing translations are with empty string, example:

msgctxt “#30008” msgid “Login failed” msgstr “”

The msgstr is where your translation is to be inserted, and in this case it is missing.

When done you can submit your PR Any changes submitted may be pending until the new version is released.

If you want to add a new language You can copy the english language file, and write your translation in the each msgstr field https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/blob/master/resources/language/resource.language.en_gb/strings.po

You also need to identify your locale language code and rename the file/folder name accordly.

When done you can submit your PR Any changes submitted may be pending until the new version is released.

To all translators in this thread, the following related upstream projects would be blessed with your help too:

• inputstream.adaptive
• service.upnext
• script.module.inputstreamhelper

I have done it for UpNext before, now I have uploaded it for inputstream.adaptive. The rest will be done during the week or weekend.

I understand, but i can not be an arbitrator between different translators and i’m not in a position to judge other translations outside my native language

Github is specially created to manage changes with a review system where all people can collaborate and suggest changes and make opinions

So if you want to make other changes in future you will have to make a little effort to learn how to do a PR In the meantime, i will only merge the missing ID translations
