Hi everyone. Today I'm announcing the start of the translation push for the Solus Mate Transition Tool (SMTT). I introduced the SMTT over on the devlog here a while back. It's an application written by Joey to move existing MATE users onto another desktop.
We haven't deployed the tool yet, and we don't have a firm date for deployment either, but we want to get started on translations. This project will also help me and other Solus Staff learn how to administer translation projects on the new platform we are using (Transifex).
What we're asking from translators
Translators will have to translate ~ 50 individual strings to complete a language.
- Languages we have at least one translator for already:
- Arabic (ar)
- Finnish (fi)
- French (fr)
- German (Austria) (de_AT)
- Indonesian (id)
- Italian (it_IT)
- Simplified Chinese
- Spanish (United States) (es_US)
- Sundanese (su)
- Russian (ru)
- Languages we think we need:
I want to translate a language, how can I help?
- First, you should make an account on Transifex, and note the email you use.
- If the language you want to help with is already part of the project, you can request to join that language team on Transifex
- If the language you want to help with is not already part of the project, request it be added on Transifex, or post below. Please be specific about the language and region, if that is applicable. After the language is added, you can request to join that language team.
- You can also DM me (davidjharder) on Matrix with requests if Transifex is being weird, please include the email you used to sign up to Transifex.
