Electron Internationalization

🌎 🌍 🌏

💚 First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! 💚

Anyone is welcome to join in the effort, regardless of technical experience or familiarity with the Electron project.

The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to Electron's localization effort. These are just guidelines, not rules, so use your best judgment and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.

Code of conduct

This project adheres to the Electron organization's code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to coc@electronjs.org.

Using Crowdin

Electron's localization effort uses Crowdin, an awesome platform for collaborative translation. Translations made on Crowdin are periodically pulled into this repository, and changes made to the source content is periodically uploaded to Crowdin.

Translating

Here are some guidelines to keep in mind as a translator:

• Don't open pull requests to translate Electron; instead, do all translations on Crowdin.
• Do not translate JavaScript keywords like String, Event, Array, Class, etc.
• Do not translate Electron classes, method names, event names, etc.
• If you find an error in the source English docs, open a pull request on the electron/electron repository, not on the website repository.

To get started, visit crowdin.com/project/electron and log in with your GitHub account.

Proofreading

On Crowdin, the proofreader role allows you to approve submitted translations. If you would like to be promoted to proofreader status on the Electron project, please please reach out in the #website-i18n channel in our community Discord server.

When contacting us, please include a link to your existing translations on the project (minimum 1000 words).

Glossary

The Crowdin Glossary is programatically generated. It defines terms to give translators context when translating in the Crowdin interface, and to help avoid translations of strings like Array and win.open() that should remain in their original "English" form. It includes entries for JavaScript builtins, Electron API names, method names, event names, etc.
