[ i18n / translation ] — asking to contributors

[ffoodd]

Hi there!

Since I'm a daily user of contrast-finder, I'd like to participate with i18n
by asking to a11y.css translators some help!

So here they are:

• @pd4d10 did Chinese translation
• @Alex-Sokolov did Russian translation
• @GeorgeGkas did Greek translation
• @Mona1988 did Arabic translation
• @bruno-machado did Portuguese Brazilian translation

Would you guys be available and volunteer to help translating this application? It is really, really useful since it is, as far as I know, the only web application dedicated to check color contrast which also provides color suggestions when contrast requirements is unmet.

Here is the English version. As you can see, there are less messages than in a11y.css!

Thanks a lot for reading, and if you need any help @dzc34 shall be pleased to give a hand!

Hey @ffoodd ! Thank you for this help call, this is highly appreciated !

Hey @ffoodd ! Thank you very much for this boost.

Here is the English version: As you can see, there are less messages than in a11y.css!
webapp/src/main/resources/i18n/contrast-finder_utf8_en.properties

• The first half of the file (line 1 to line 71) is required for the software.
• The second part (line 72 to the last line) is less important (user help, ...).
  For example: the Portuguese translation is done for the 1st part but not yet for the 2nd part.

The second part will certainly be modified by the following issue:
#136 Webapp > Help > Text size understanding : comments on pt => px conversion

hi @trzepiz ,

Can you provide additional information, in particular the "Build info" part of the "about" page: about.html?lang=en ?

ex: http://127.0.0.1:8080/contrast-finder/about.html?lang=en

    version: 0.9.6-SNAPSHOT
    git branch: develop
    git commit: 7691172
    Build:
        date: 2019-08-18T22:14:54+0000
        ID: 0.9.6-SNAPSHOT.7691172.1566166494488
        Platform: Linux amd64, Java 11.0.4, Maven 3.6.0

We are interessed also by the tomcat version and the i18n/contrast-finder_utf8_pl.properties file used (you can push a new commit on your repository or copy the content of this file in this issue).

I tested the Polish characters (based on Polish alphabet from Wikipedia) and it works with my local build.

Ą Ć Ę Ł Ń Ó Ś Ź Ż  
ą ć ę ł ń ó ś ź ż  
Zażółć gęślą jaźń

I also initialized somes files for Polish (PL) translation in a dedicated branch:

if you need help, don't hesitate to contact us.

Hi.

I change WEB-INF\classes\i18n\contrast-finder_utf8_en.properties file. Problem is the same

hi,

Before maven build, character encoding of i18n files is UTF-8. But after build (in the .war file or in tomcat directory), character encoding of i18n files is ISO-8859-1 with UTF8 entities instead of missing characters (such as: ą ć ę ł ń ó ś ź ż).

---

Before Maven build (UTF-8),
webapp/src/main/resources/i18n/contrast-finder_utf8_fr.properties file in git repository:

form.contrastSolutionBackground=Arrière plan
form.sampleText=Ceci est un échantillon de texte

After Maven build (ISO-8859-1 with UTF8 entities),
WEB-INF\classes\i18n\contrast-finder_utf8_fr.properties file in the .war file or in Tomcat directory:

form.contrastSolutionBackground=Arri\u00E8re plan
form.sampleText=Ceci est un \u00E9chantillon de texte

---

The modifications made in the WEB-INF\classes\i18n\contrast-finder_utf8_fr.properties file may be lost after the restart of Tomcat. The best solution is to work on the code of the git repository and build the.war file with Maven.

The easiest solution for you (without compiling with maven) is to you modifing the i18n/contrast-finder_utf8_pl.properties file directly in Github and I can include Polish translate in the next release scheduled at the end of the week.
