Making a translation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [[TiddlyWiki on Node.js]]
|
|
|
|
|
* A GitHub account to submit the translation to tiddlywiki.com
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quick and dirty instructions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Fork the TiddlyWiki GitHub repository (https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5)
|
|
|
|
|
#* If your GitHub username is JoeBloggs, your fork will be https://github.com/JoeBloggs/TiddlyWiki5
|
|
|
|
|
# Create a branch with the name of the translation you intend to create (eg "cy-GB" for "Welsh (United Kingdom)")
|
|
|
|
|
#* IETF language codes: http://www.lingoes.net/en/translator/langcode.htm
|
|
|
|
|
# Clone your forked repository to your computer (eg, `/MyTranslation/TiddlyWiki5`)
|
|
|
|
|
# Create a sibling directory `/MyTranslation/jermolene.github.com`
|
|
|
|
|
# Create a new folder in `<repo>/languages` for your translation
|
|
|
|
|
# Copy the contents of `<repo>/core/language/en-GB` into your translation folder
|
|
|
|
|
# Create a `plugin.info` file (see below) in your translation folder
|
|
|
|
|
# Edit `<repo>/editions/tw5.com/tiddlywiki.info` to add your language to the list
|
|
|
|
|
# Run `./qbld.sh` to build TiddlyWiki
|
|
|
|
|
# Open the TiddlyWiki file at `/MyTranslation/jermolene.github.com/index.html`
|
|
|
|
|
# You should see your translation listed in the control panel, but the text of the translation will still be in British English

"title": "$:/languages/cy-GB",
|
|

|
|
"name": "cy-GB",
|
|
|
|
|
"plugin-type": "language",
|
|
|
|
|
"description": "Welsh (British)",
|
|
|
|
|
"author": "JoeBloggs",
|
|
|
|
|
"core-version": ">=5.0.0"
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

MultiTiddlerFiles make it possible to pack the text of several tiddlers in a single text file, simplifying some editing tasks.
