Are you a fan of AchStats and want to help out by maintaining a translation? Great! Read on to find out how to translate the site into a new language.
Start by grabbing the INI files containing all the language strings. You can download them here:
https://www.achievementstats.com/languages/
Pick your favorite translation base and be sure to save them as UTF-8! The German and English ones are maintained by us and are in doubt always up to date.
Each translation has an identifier consisting of two codes in the format of xx-XX
according to RFC 1766. The first (lower-case) part is the linguistic classification and the second (upper-case) part identifies the geographical classification. Both are specified by ISO standards:
xx
: ISO 639-1XX
: ISO 3166-1Use the final code as your folder name.
All rules of INI files apply: Key–value pairs separated by =
and each value enclosed by "
signs. On top of that some conventions:
&
as &
or "
as "
%s
, %d
, %f
, %%
, %F
etc.) is based on sprintf() and indicated by x
in the keyDATE_SORTABLE_CLASS
to sortable-date-dmy
.encoding
would translate to "Encoding" (translation of the word encoding)ENCODING
would translate to "UTF-8" (encoding to use for this translation)x_for_<yourLangHere>_translation = "%s for <yourLangHere> translation"
XHTML_DIRECTION
to rtl
in case your writing system is right-to-left.Once you're done, send all the files to our contact address with the language code (see above) mentioned in the subject:
We will check your submission and put it online. From there you can review it live on the site and send again any corrections or upcoming updates. You can always verify the translation progress with this handy tool! You will be notified additionally on every release with new strings.
