Add new translations

Beginners

  • Download the values.xml file from ffupdater/ffupdater/src/main/res/values/values.xml
  • Translate the English words and sentences
    • Don't translate the entries with translatable="false" like <string name="empty" translatable="false"/> or <string name="github" translatable="false">GitHub</string>
    • %1$s and %1$d are placeholder for real values.
    • For reference: the other translations are stored in ffupdater/ffupdater/src/main/res/values-XX/values.xml. XX is current bg (Bulgarian), de (German), fr (French), pt-rBR (Portuguese Brazilian), ru (Russian) or uk (Ukrainian).
  • Send me the translated values.xml as an issue on notabug.org, GitHub or GitLab

Advanced developers

Same as above but with forking + pull request / merge requests on notabug.org, GitHub or GitLab

Regular check

I'm only a German native speaker with DeepL and Google Translate - expect to check every six months for bad translations.
