Translation

Files for internationalization are located here.

To add a new language:

• add the new locale to the locales array in:
  • commafeed-client/.linguirc
  • commafeed-client/src/i18n.ts
• run npm run i18n:extract
• add translations to the newly created commafeed-client/src/locales/[locale]/messages.po file

The name of the locale should be the two-letters ISO-639-1 language code.

Local development

  • CommaFeed uses Lombok, you need the Lombok plugin for your IDE.
• Start CommaFeedApplication.java in debug mode with server config.dev.yml as arguments
