Localization: Localize the extension to {insert language here} #18Activityshana commented on Jul 29, 2015 ContributorAuthor More actions elbaloo commented on Oct 9, 2015 I can help with es-MX but I'm not following the implementation... I'm looking at this. shana commented on Oct 9, 2015 ContributorAuthor More actions @elbaloo There are several resx files in the solution which contain strings. Adding translations is a matter of editing the resx files, adding a new language and the translated strings. There's an extension for Visual Studio called Resx Manager (http://resxresourcemanager.codeplex.com/) that makes this easier. austingreendev commented on Mar 2, 2016 @shana is this issue available? I can use the resxresourcemanager listed above (which if I remember correctly just uses Bing Translate if you ask it to translate as well as read). I am also currently at a University and know several native speakers of the bigger languages so I can double check with them.
What are your target languages? haacked commented on Mar 2, 2016
What are your target languages?
ALL OF THEM! 😛
In all seriousness, we'll take all the languages people are willing to contribute as long as we can reasonably ensure the translations are of good quality. austingreendev commented on Mar 2, 2016 The languages provided in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Language Pack are:
- Chinese (Simplified) - known native speaker
- Chinese (Traditional) - possibly known native speaker
- Czech
- English - I hope this one is right
- French - known native speaker
- German - known native speaker
- Italian - known native speaker
- Japanese
- Korean
- Polish
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- Russian - known native speaker
- Spanish - known native speaker
- Turkish
This should be a good start since most people using VS will be stuck with these.
Also, randomly heard your DotNetRocks podcast the other day. It was a good talk! shana commented on Mar 2, 2016 ContributorAuthor More actions
is this issue available?
All issues are available 😄
Software translation should probably not be done with Bing, though 😉
Microsoft has excellent resources for translation at https://www.microsoft.com/Language/en-US/Default.aspx, including style guides and terminology collections. haacked commented on Mar 2, 2016

It's probably fine to use automated translation (such as Bing or Google) to get started as long as the translation is checked and corrected by a native speaker, which is what I think @Austin94 suggested. 😄

Thanks! ✨ austingreendev commented on Mar 3, 2016 Here is a google spreadsheet of all the resx keys that I found along with Translations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zE-KmrVhSQy3bgJ0Fmaxid-5ImGtEyQzFGaLZZwQ-cI/edit?usp=sharing
So far I have only used Google Translate for Chinese (Simplified), Czech, and German. I hope to have all of these languages double checked by native speakers by the end of this weekend before I move on to others.
One questions on branding though. For the phrase 'GitHub Enterprise' would you prefer that to be left in English for branding? Or would 'GitHub translation' work? shana commented on Mar 4, 2016 ContributorAuthor More actions @Austin94 Brand names need to be double-checked internally, so leave them as is. austingreendev commented on Mar 21, 2016 I have a completed translation from a native Korean speaker so I will be bringing that in soon. From what he described Google Translate got pretty close, but he gave some grammatical fixes and added some git terminology that it struggled with. Also, the string lengths are pretty close across all of the phrases so we shouldn't have much of an issue with under-over flow of text. maikebing commented on Feb 24, 2017 @shana I am Chinese! So can i translate it? austingreendev commented on Feb 24, 2017 @maikebing Unfortunately, I never completed updating the locale files. I am no longer implementing this feature, but I will leave the google sheet up and give you write access if you still want to translate.
We can leave it here if anyone eventually wants to finish. GabPar5 commented on Aug 25, 2017 I am italian, I can translate it if you want :) austingreendev commented on Aug 25, 2017 I am no longer acitvely working on this PR.
If anyone else would like to give it a shot please feel free to take over!
…wenz commented on May 31, 2018 Who is maintaining this? I have a set of German translations ready to be used ;) maikebing commented on Jun 1, 2018 I started to do this thing. I hope everyone will support it. wenz commented on Jun 1, 2018 @maikebing could you set up the Google Doc (or something similar) again, so that I can dump the German translations? maikebing commented on Jun 2, 2018 @wenz OK, I will have all the statements extracted after the completion, sent to everyone. maikebing commented on Jun 4, 2018 I suggest using Bing translation, then manual proofreading, Bing Chinese translation is very good, so you might try it. wenz commented on Jun 4, 2018 shoud we put it up on Google Sheets or something similar, so that we can edit simultaneously? maikebing commented on Jun 4, 2018 meaghanlewis commented on Jun 6, 2018 maikebing commented on Jul 19, 2018 meaghanlewis commented on Feb 25, 2019 Closing out since this work was completed in #1968
