|
<p>How we provide translation support for InvenTree in multiple languages</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="community-contributed-translations">Community Contributed Translations</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>At the time of writing, InvenTree provides language translations for 25 languages (in addition to English), with over 11,000 translated words! This is thanks to the sustained efforts of 130+ InvenTree users, who have contributed their time to make our software better for everyone.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Translation progress can be viewed on our <a href="https://crowdin.com/project/inventree">Crowdin project page</a>. Here you can view the current status of the translation efforts:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="/assets/blog/2022-11-22-translation.png" alt="Translations"></p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="translation-pipeline">Translation Pipeline</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>As translations are entirely community contributed, we need a software framework that allows non-technical users to submit and proofread translations, and a way to bring those translations back into the InvenTree software.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="backend---django">Backend - Django</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>At its core, InvenTree is built on the <a href="https://www.djangoproject.com/">Django</a> framework, which provides a <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/i18n/translation/">translation framework</a> “out of the box”.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Django translation framework provides a toolkit for marking certain text strings as “translatable”. Translation strings are able to be replaced by a translated string from a language specified by the user - <em>if a translation for the text is available in that language</em>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are many files within the InvenTree project which can provide these translation strings:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Python source files</li>
|
|
<li>Javascript source files</li>
|
|
<li>HTML template files</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Additionally, translation support is provided for the <a href="/extend/app.html">InvenTree Mobile App</a>!</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="exporting-translations---github">Exporting Translations - GitHub</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>On every commit to the InvenTree main branch, the source code is analyzed to discover and extract translation strings. This information is then pushed to a separate code branch, which is monitored by the <a href="#community-translation---crowdin">translation service</a></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="community-translation---crowdin">Community Translation - Crowdin</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>The crucial piece of the puzzle is the integration with <a href="https://crowdin.com/">Crowdin</a> - an online translation service which provides community contributed translation, and supports open source projects.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Crowdin monitors the <a href="https://github.com/inventree/inventree">InvenTree GitHub repository</a> for any changes to translation files, and provides a user interface for translators to suggest appropriate translated strings.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Suggested translations are then approved (again, by the InvenTree user community), and periodically pushed back to the InvenTree GitHub repo.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="merging-translations---github">Merging Translations - GitHub</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Updated translated strings are periodically merged back into the main code branch, keeping the InvenTree code base up to date.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="contributing">Contributing</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The translation framework is provided by the InvenTree team to make our software more useful and appealing to a greater number of people. The entire translation effort is driven by the InvenTree community. Any contributions, no matter how large or small, are greatly encouraged!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you would like to see improved translations in a particular language, read the <a href="/contribute.html#translate">contribution guide</a>! The InvenTree project benefits greatly from your efforts, and you get a great piece of open source software in your native language.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="adding-new-languages">Adding New Languages</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you would like to see support for a new language, <a href="https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/issues/new?assignees=&labels=enhancement%2Ctriage%3Anot-checked&template=feature_request.yaml&title=%5BFR%5D+title">raise an issue on our GitHub page</a>.</p>
