[Files App] Translations wanted 💬
Posted: 11 Aug 2021, 06:45
Dear folks, next Files app release (coming soon) includes multi-language interface. For this, I need help to correctly translate interface texts into other languages. I'm especially interested in translations for languages DE, ES, FR, IT, JA, KO, NL, PT, RU and ZH, but more than happy to accept translations for other languages also.
Option 1
1. Goto www.files.gallery/langeditor or download en.json translation file.
2. Make corrections to any language.
3. Copy-paste in reply to this post or send to me karl (at) photo.gallery.
You can find Google translated version below, in which case you may only need to make a few corrections:
de | es | fr | it | ja | ko | nl | pt | ru | th | zh
Sample file
Default en.json translation file looks like this, items listed in alphabetical order:

- "show info" / Action to show more info about a file or folder in modal view.
- "size" / As in filesize, but preferably kept short as in sort by size.
- "sort" / Header for the "sort" dropdown menu, to sort items by name, kind, size or date.
- "space" / Used for some layouts in layout dropdown selector to specify "space" between items.
- "uniform" / Used to specific a uniform or symmetric layout for some layouts in the layout dropdown selector.
- "upload" / Action to upload files.
- "zoom" / Action to zoom/view an image in the popup.
- Capitalization is optional, but Files app will automatically Capitalize first letter via CSS, so please keep lowercase when possible.
- You don't have to translate all items from English if literal translation is not intuitive. For example, when translating into Norwegian, I found that items "grid", "zoom" and "google maps" did not translate properly, and were more suitable kept in English. I'm sure the same will apply for other languages.
