There could be also a more general "CONTRIBUTORS" file, where everybody who contributed something (to code, to docs, to i18n, ...) can get added. |

BTW, i noticed that transifex or the qt tools seem to just kill strings that do not completely match any more (or did I miss something?). So having the |

Sometimes these services have a "translation memory". Even if the string was removed, it may suggest the removed translation for a similar string in the future. But yes, good to look it up on Github sometimes. (Added GH handle for @dbrassard ) |

Those strings stay in "translation memory" and you can find them via Suggestions. I just played with replacing three dots with an ellipsis, but reverted back due to unicode-issues and your translations were still there.

You had an exact match in that case. What I meant are fuzzy matches - did these work for you also? |

Yes. Then it just gives you a e.g. 90% match and ranks it by match. So for each new string you get similar past matches. I refactored many strings today and it was very helpful to keep the German translation updated. |

Added everyone who asked to join to the translation group. Short intro here. But probably better to keep most discussion on Github. Let me know how it goes, @dbrassard @brokenpip3. No tools are required to enter translations, but testing them needs Qt and the Transifex CLI, as described in CONTRIBUTING.md > Translations. |

For strings with punctuation marks, should the translated text keep those? Also, the section "Data Flow to/from Transifex" is unclear to me. Finally, is there resources highlighting the proper workflow for Transifex? I can go on the website and translate strings but I need to test them in the final application. I installed the qt5 dev tools but I will still need some pointers (consider that I'm not a software developer). |

Yes. Please keep all the punctuation marks including |

There are a few ways to do this. Easiest is maybe:
This assumes you already have Vorta installled as dev setup (editable installation from git). If not and you need further steps, let me know. |

How are translations coming along? I see about half completed on Transifex. Good progress! I was planning the next release when languages are done. Would be a few bug fixes and languages mostly. |

I'm near to finish (85%) it but i must review some choice. |

Just saw that Italian is now complete. Will we release French at the same time? |

Hi! I'd like to start a Polish translation. I am a native speaker. My Transifex login is tomasz.kontusz. |

And a quick question to other translators: are there other translated borg frontends? Borg itself seems to not support translations at the moment, and BorgWeb only has a few words in French. |

Thanks for the offer, @ktosiek. I've added Polish on Transifex with you as first translator. Let me know when done and we'll pull the files into Git, so Qt will load them. |

As suggested in #774 by @Hofer-Julian, we will announce a "string freeze" here about 1-2 weeks before the next release. To give all translators enough time to add new strings on Transifex. |

Two new languages, Dutch and Galician fully translated by Heimen Stoffels and Miguel Anxo Bouzada respectively. Will be in the next minor release. |

New version 0.7.3 is now out. It includes all new translations. There will be a bugfix release soon after. So no problem to add new translations. |

Hello, Regarding French translation, I translated most of the new (37/56) chains to translate, but I don't have time to finish it right now, so maybe it will need some love from someone else :) ping @dbrassard maybe |

I could do some translations into German (Native language) if needed, see some strings are still missing. Let me know if you're interested. |

Please go ahead. Translations sometimes change, so they are really ongoing. Just add yourself to Transifex. Latest strings will be there: |

I subscribed for transifex, but when I try to join the Team for translation, I couldn't select German from the list (didn't exist in control, but existed in the table below) I choosed Czech now because of that, hope this can be changed to German afterwards? |

Thanks for joining! I've added you to both languages. Hope it works now. |

Yes it seems to work now. However, you should remove me from Czech, I don't speak it, just selected it so I could actually send a request on the site. |

Hi. I want to collaborate to correct the Spanish translation in its entirety. I'm in Transifex with the alias @Julvenzor (https://app.transifex.com/user/profile/Julvenzor/), but I can't change anything because the chains appear, surprisingly, as "reviewed". I don't understand how someone can "reviewed" something that has some misspellings. I am a writer in Spanish. I can understand that many people want to help translate and do not have the necessary language skills, but such individuals should check if what they write is correct. In any case, I kindly request that I be granted the necessary permissions to correct the translation and add the missing strings. Regards. |

Thank you so much. As soon as I have some free time I will start reviewing the translation carefully while I have Vorta open to observe the context. Regards. |

You might be able to download the translation files from transifex and open them with Qt Linguist which will show you some context information. However for some strings the context can only be found by looking into the source code. |

Sorry for the delay, guys. I've changed @real-yfprojects's role to admin and @Julvenzor to coordinator for Spanish. Let me know if everything works now. |

Hello again, @real-yfprojects. I still don't have access to edit the translations. I haven't written to you during the week because I've been busy and I didn't want to bother you either. Sorry for the inconveniences. Regards. |

After a very long time I finally upgraded Vorta to 0.9.1 only to find that Slovak is no more fully translated. I logged into Transifex only to find that it reports as 100% translated. The new strings are not there though so it seems that Transifex is not updating the source strings. Any idea? Has Transifex become abandoned? Thanks. |

No, Transifex is still used and I pull in translations before each release. Maybe the translation rate was below 85% back then? |

This thread is to coordinate the actual translation work.
Latest translation status: https://www.transifex.com/borgbase/vorta/
Current translators:
(let me know your Github and Transifex username to be added her)
Translations are organized on Transifex (TF) and then pulled into the source code, when 90+% complete. More details regarding translations are collected here: https://vorta.borgbase.com/contributing/translations/
Last, we should mention translators somewhere in the credits or the README. There will also be new strings added over time, as we're still adding features. So it's an ongoing commitment.
