Improve language support

[etewiah]

Currently only English and Spanish are supported. I would like to add as many languages as possible. Its quite easy to create the files for any language and to populate it with basic translations from google. After that though I would need a native speaker to got through and make sure the translations are correct.
If you speak any language well enough to help with this please mention it here and we can work together to add that translation.

We would love to provide you german and french translations. Let me know how to start.

Hurraaaay! That's great. Thanks for offering to help.

The files that need translation are here:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/tree/master/config/locales

Each file ends with a ".language_code.yml" extension so as you can see all that remains for me to complete the French translations is the admin.fr.yml file.

For the German translations I need to start from scratch. I can obtain the translations for devise.de.yml and rails.de.yml so don't worry about those - I will add them in the next few hours.

It will be really great to have the remaining translations done. Are you familiar with pull requests?

There are also some seed files that I use to populate the website with example data. It would be good to translate those too but first I need to figure out a better way of organising them.

If anything is not clear or you have any questions, just let me know. If you wish, we could arrange a skype call to discuss any issues.

Thanks again for offering to help.

Hi @beeyatch, I never heard back from you. Still able to help?

[cvillalba]

@etewiah I can help with German, not much with French though.

[etewiah]

@cvillalba that would be awesome. Are my instructions clear enough for you to be able to start on that?

[cvillalba]

@etewiah yeah, no problem. It will be done in a couple of days

Hi all,

Thanks to the awesome i18n-tasks project by @glebm I am able to generate locale files using google translate. The translations are not perfect of course but it means I have a starting point which should make the process easier.

I now have these google translated files which I need to have verified:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/ru.yml
https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/pt.yml
https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/de.yml

If anyone gets the chance, please have a look. You can just paste the changes that need to be made in a comment here or send me an email if creating a pull request is too much work ;)

I can provide you Chinese (Traditional-hk) translation. Can you make the locale files? :-)

[etewiah]

Hi @bluesky321 , thanks a lot for the offer. I've just added the locale file here:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/zh-HK.yml

Looking forward to the translations. Please let me know if you need help with anything at all.

[etewiah]

Hi @bluesky321, @beeyatch - are either of you going to actually help? It's a bit disappointing to get offers of help which end in nothing :(

[anhpham2710]

please make locale file for Vietnamese!

[etewiah]

Hi @anhpham2710 , I will create the locale files but please don't disappoint me like @bluesky321 and @beeyatch did.

[anhpham2710]

no man, I will try all my best

[etewiah]

Hi @anhpham2710, I have just added the locale file for Vietnamese:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/vi.yml

Right now it contains translations from google. Please correct them and send me a pull request when you are ready.

Thanks

[anhpham2710]
