Support multiple languages

[AndresMorelos]

Hey there, If you want this app to support your language just write it below.

Please search first if your language is in the comment, if yes, vote up to give it a priority, also, consider to contribute in the translation.

French (incomplete as for now)
I could contribute to it. How do you handle localization ? Is there a file where I can simply translate english strings into french ?

[AndresMorelos]

@sonalder-darlene you can help to translate the app using the Crowdin project https://crowdin.com/project/invoncify

I have translated to Serbian Cyrillic on Crowdwin Crowdin, it should be production ready since I consulted a friend about some local tax code terminology. You can do transliteration to generate 100% accurate Serbian Latin translation due to the nature of the language.

SerbianCyr = ['љ', 'њ', 'џ', 'Љ', 'Њ', 'Џ', 'а', 'б', 'в', 'г', 'д', 'ђ', 'е', 'ж', 'з', 'и', 'ј', 'к', 'л', 'м', 'н', 'о', 'п', 'р', 'с', 'т', 'ћ', 'у', 'ф', 'х', 'ц', 'ч', 'ш', 'А', 'Б', 'В', 'Г', 'Д', 'Ђ', 'Е', 'Ж', 'З', 'И', 'Ј', 'К', 'Л', 'М', 'Н', 'О', 'П', 'Р', 'С', 'Т', 'Ћ', 'У', 'Ф', 'Х', 'Ц', 'Ч', 'Ш'];

SerbianLat = ['lj', 'nj', 'dž', 'Lj', 'Nj', 'Dž', 'a', 'b', 'v', 'g', 'd', 'đ', 'e', 'ž', 'z', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'r', 's', 't', 'ć', 'u', 'f', 'h', 'c', 'č', 'š', 'A', 'B', 'V', 'G', 'D', 'Đ', 'E', 'Ž', 'Z', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'Ć', 'U', 'F', 'H', 'C', 'Ć', 'Š'];

Basically have an array of Cyrillic characters and substitute for Latin ones. Array elements should be in that order, because some Cyrillic letters are essentially two Latin ones smooshed together. It's not necessary for Cyrillic to Latin, but it is other way around as you want "lj" to be transliterated to љ, not individual л and ј.

When you have the new build I'll go over it again to see the translation in context and correct for some errors if required.

Thank you for your hard work and contributions.

@bdlanduyt from now you can update to the latest version here https://github.com/AndresMorelos/Invoncify/releases/tag/v1.12.0

I'm verifying the issue with the publisherNames

[bdlanduyt]

The invoice itself and the previewer are still in English. It also would be nice if the price of an item could be lower than 0 (ex.deposit). Kind regards Op za 16 apr. 2022 om 19:52 schreef Andrés Morelos ***@***.***

Updated Serbian Cyrillic for the next build. No rush tho, nothing major.

[ghost]

@AndresMorelos I can do Serbian Latin too if you add it to Crowdin.

[AndresMorelos]

@milejancic Added, thank you for your support

[ghost]

OK, so my plan was to use gettext utility to recode Cyrillic to Latin and of course I messed up. Twice. Should have tried on a smaller file first.

What I found out however is:

1. Crowdin is poorly documented, but to be fair maybe I should have gone somewhere else to learn more about .xliff format
2. Crowdin will show me comments on every single language page, not just the one in question. So for example I would have comments like "Is this Serbian translation correct or this one" on a French or Chinese pages. Weird.
3. Crowdin will ignore translations if they are spelled exactly the same. For example "Logo" is spelled the same in Serbian Latin and in English, so it just ignores it as not translated. But it works for Cyrillic, same spelling but different script.

Both translations should be OK for the next build.

Oh, and when you get the chance if you could add Serbian (Cyrillic) and Serbian(Latin) as supported in readme that would be great. We have lots of nationalities who were born in neighboring countries and have never learned Cyrillic script, so knowing there is 100% Latin translation available is great for them.

[AndresMorelos]

@milejancic Languages added to the README, Cyrillic updated, and Latin added at v1.30.1

Thank you for your help
