Translations

[Roccobot]

I initially thought FlowVision's options and settings were confusing, but it may simply be that the current Italian translation isn't very user-friendly. Would it be possible for me to contribute to the localization?

On a more general note: are users allowed to contribute to localization? And if so, what is the process?

Thanks

File list:

FlowVision/Resources/mul.lproj/Main.xcstrings    //mainly the items in the system menu bar(excluding in-app menus)
FlowVision/Resources/Localizable.xcstrings       //other major translations
FlowVision/Sources/SettingsViews/mul.lproj/GeneralSettingsViewController.xcstrings
FlowVision/Sources/SettingsViews/mul.lproj/CustomSettingsViewController.xcstrings
FlowVision/Sources/SettingsViews/mul.lproj/ActionsSettingsViewController.xcstrings
FlowVision/Sources/SettingsViews/mul.lproj/AdvancedSettingsViewController.xcstrings

File content example:

"Apply to all" : {     // Here is 'KEY', just like an ID
      "comment" : "应用到全部",    // This can be used to provide context for machine translation, such as explaining the specific context in which a word is used. For convenience, I’m currently using only Chinese translations here, and relying on two languages to ensure accuracy.
      "localizations" : {
        "ar" : {
          "stringUnit" : {
            "state" : "translated",
            "value" : "تطبيق على الكل"
          }
        },
        "de" : {
          "stringUnit" : {
            "state" : "translated",
            "value" : "Auf alle anwenden"
          }
        },
        "en" : {        // The source of LLM automatic translation
          "stringUnit" : {
            "state" : "translated",
            "value" : "Apply to all"
          }
        },
       ......

The current localization files include the six items listed above, which were automatically translated from the English (“en”) segment using ChatGPT, with “comment” providing contextual information. The file structure is similar to JSON, and you can edit the files directly in a text editor.(Or, it’s more convenient to use Xcode for editing.)

Known issues with the current translations include:

1. Insufficient context provided may lead to inaccuracies in LLM’s translations.
2. Due to the randomness of translation, identical fields may result in different translated text.
3. The chosen wording may not align with common conventions used in computer software.

Also, regarding the placement of settings, there may be significant adjustments in the next version. It might not be ideal to make too many translation corrections at this stage. So if it’s convenient, please just fix obvious errors for now.
