The translation mechanism of TiddlyWiki manages and switches between language plugins that provide translations of the TiddlyWiki user interface. The developer site at https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/ explains how translators can create and submit translations for TiddlyWiki.
|
|
|
|
The title of the current language plugin is read from the tiddler [[$:/language]]. If the selected plugin changes then any displayed translatable text automatically changes.
|
|
|
|
Translation plugins are bundles of tiddlers that each contain an independent translatable string. The strings are transcluded as needed.
|
|
|
|
Translatable strings are generally in the namespace `$:/language/`, for example:
|
|
|
|
* [[$:/language/EditTemplate/Shadow/OverriddenWarning]]
|
|
* [[$:/language/Docs/ModuleTypes/isfilteroperator]]
|
|
* [[$:/language/EditTemplate/Fields/Add/Value/Placeholder]]
