Disciple.Tools Translation
Overview
Disciple.Tools is built on WordPress and uses the WordPress translation strategy. Extensive resources can be found on WordPress.org giving explanations and help for translators. WordPress Translation Resources
We invite you to contribute a new translation to Disciple.Tools, and it does not require writing code! You can submit completed translations through Github or through email, and our commit team will review it and add it to the project.
Current Available Translations
Disciple.Tools is available in 30+ languages. See Translation for more details.
As Disciple.Tools develops, additional translation commits will be needed.
How to contribute
We are using an online tool called POEditor. No downloading, changing, or uploading of files necessary. No coding skills needed either.
To get started visit the main Disciple.Tools WordPress theme translation project and the much smaller D.T app translation project. Or contribute to the translation of some D.T plugins here
Either select an existing language from the displayed list or click “Click here to suggest a new language” link to add the language you want Disciple.Tools to be translated in to. Enter your email and name and then click “Join this project”
We will receive your request and approve your account as soon as possible. Once approved, you will be free to start translating.
Your translations will become available to everyone when we push a release for the theme
POEditor: How to do a translation
Log in to https://poeditor.com/login/ and find the translation you have access to. You will arrive at a page like the following:
Click on the flag the represents the language you want to translate. You will arrive at a screen that looks like the following:
In the “big empty box”, type in the translation of “the string” (a word or phrase) that is displayed on the left side.
For example: The first string is Location Grid Meta. Type your translation of that phrase into the “big empty box” to the right. Once you are happy with what you have typed, click out side of the box, and the translation will be saved automatically. If you need to change it, simply click on the string, and the box will become editable again.
On the far right side of each row, there are a few icons that can be used to sort the list.
The A icon means “automatic translation” when highlighted will be set to orange in colour and means that the string was automatically translated. When you make a change to the string, the A will be unset. When you review a string that was marked as translated automatically, please untick the orange A icon to indicate that the string is correct.
The Comments icon (represented by the speech bubbles icon) indicates if a comment has been written by any translators relating to this string. If you have a question or comment to make about the string, click the Comments icon and write your comment (or question) in the popup window. Your comment will be sent to the main editor for the language project who will reply ASAP, if needed.
The F icon means “Fuzzy” which you can toggle to indicate that you aren’t sure if this string has been translated correctly. You can later review or have others easily find the strings that need revision.
What are those wonky characters?
In POEditor, you will see some strings that look like this:
Sorry, you don't have permission to view the %1$s with id %2$s.
What do I do with the %1$s and %2$s and what do they mean?
These are placeholders that will be replaced with a something else.
Here this sentence in English could be :
Sorry, you don’t have permission to view the contact with id 4344. Sorry, you don’t have permission to view the group with id 493. In this case, %1$s corresponds to “contact” or “group”. %2$s corresponds to the id of the record
This message can be displayed for a contact or a group. And we don’t know before hand the ID of the record. This lets you, the translator, make a sentence that is gramatically correct while still using placeholders.
To translate the sentence, just copy and paster the characters ( %s, %1$s, %2$s ) to into your translation.
In french this sentence would give:
Désolé, vous n'avez pas l'autorisation d'afficher le %1$s avec l'id %2$s.
