title: Instructions for Translators
|
|
|
|
! Overview
|
|
|
|
The tiddler [[$:/Translators]] provides a dashboard for creating, editing and reviewing translatable strings. It has the following parts:
|
|
|
|
* A summary of progress
|
|
* A copy of the page controls to make it easier to work with the sidebar hidden
|
|
* Editor tabs, splitting the translatable strings into groups. Within each tab:
|
|
** A title, description and tiddler count for the group
|
|
** Radio buttons to select between showing single line and multi-line editors. Some longer strings are easier to edit with the multi-line editors
|
|
** A table of each translatable tiddler in the group, each showing:
|
|
*** The link and title of the translatable tiddler. In most cases the title is abbreviated; click the link to open the tiddler directly to see the full title
|
|
*** An editor for the translatable text
|
|
*** A dropdown with:
|
|
**** The original en-GB text
|
|
**** A button to revert by deleting the translatable tiddler
|
|
|
|
Most translatable tiddlers consist of a single field. The "Types" and "Help" groups have multiple fields that must be translated. The heading of the editor table gives the names of the fields.

|
|
## Type new text for the item ''Open/Caption'' (the text shown as the caption of the "Open" tab in the sidebar)

|
! Submitting your Translation
|
|
|
|
When your translation reaches the point that it's useful to be shared with others you can submit it for inclusion in the TiddlyWiki core.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to submit your translation is to publish the HTML file on Dropbox (as described on https://tiddlywiki.com/) and then post a link to the TiddlyWiki discussion group.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can email the translation directly to Jeremy Ruston or Mario Pietsch.

! Translation Advice
|
|
|
|
Prioritise the groups to translate first. A translation can be useful without being 100% complete; just covering the main groups will cover most of the text seen by ordinary users:
|
|
|
|
* Buttons
|
|
* Control Panel
|
|
* Date
|
|
* Edit Template
|
|
* Getting Started
|
|
* Import
|
|
* Miscellaneous
|
|
* Search
|
|
* Sidebar
|
|
* Tiddler Info
