Translation

We use Angular's built in i18n support in conjunction with ngx-i18nsupport to help automate the updating of our translation files.

We recommend using a tool like Omnixlf for the editing of translations.

Getting started

  1. Fork this repository and clone it
  2. Create a new branch and check it out 
    git branch your-branch-name
git checkout your-branch-name
git
  3. Install the node modules via npm install
  4. To make sure you have the up to date translation files, run npm run i18n
  5. Edit the translation files found in the locale folder, we reccomend a tool like Omnixlf
  6. Commit your changes and push them 
    git add *.xlf
git commit -m "replace this text with a descriptive message"
git push
    1. You may need to use git push --set-upstream origin your-branch-name if the branch doesn't exist on github yet.
  7. Create a pull request

Adding a new language

You'll need to update two places:

Angular.json

Add your new language under configurations in the format:

    "ISOCODE": {
        "aot": true,
        "outputPath": "dist/kauri-wallet/",
        "i18nFile": "src/locale/messages.ISOCODE.xlf",
        "i18nFormat": "xlf",
        "i18nLocale": "ISOCODE"
    }

Replace "ISOCODE" with the ISO code of your langage.

You will also need to add it to configurations under serve

    "ISOCODE": {
        "browserTarget": "kauri-wallet:build:ISOCODE"
    },

As with the above, replace "ja" with the ISO code of your langage.

xliffmerge.json

Add your new language to the languages array.
Your language should be written as it's ISO shortcut e.g. "en", "de", "de-ch".

"languages": [
            "en",
            "de",
            "ja"
        ],

Generating new translation files

After you've updated the above files, run npm run i18n to generate the new file for your added language.
