Translations

Thank you for interest in contribute translating Stooa. Here you will find ways to do it.

How to become a Stooa translator

We are using Weblate as translation platform, so the first thing you need to be a Stooa translator is to have a Weblate account (you can register here).

You also might want to take a look at the guide for Translating using Weblate.

When collaborating with translations, Weblate will automatically create a Pull Request in the project repository with all the translations added.

New Language Request

In the case of adding a new language, a minimum of 80% of the translations of the entire project components is necessary for the Pull Request to be approved. Furthermore, keep in mind that we will also require the 100% of the translation in the "Frontend - App" and "Frontend - Common" components.

Please consider that the creation of a new language requires the action of developers to integrate it into the app. A Pull Request for this development is also needed so that you can make it yourself, and it will be very welcome! :)

If you are not a developer, you can start a new discussion inside the "Help wanted" category to ask the developer community for help
