Contributing to Translations

We welcome contributions to improve and expand the app's internationalization (i18n) support. Below are the guidelines for adding a new language or updating an existing translation.

Adding a New Language

1. Create a Language File: To add a new language, create a JSON file named with the appropriate ISO language code (e.g., fr.json for French) in the packages/app-client/src/locales directory.

2. Use the Reference File: Refer to the en.json file, which contains all keys used in the app. Use it as a base to ensure consistency when creating your new language file. And act as a fallback if a key is missing in the new language file.

3. Update the Locale List: After adding the new language file, include the language code in the locales array found in the locales.ts file.

4. [Optional] Check for Missing Keys: You can verify that all translation keys are included by running the following command in the app-client package:

   pnpm script:get-missing-i18n-keys

5. Submit a Pull Request: Once you've added the file and updated locales.ts, create a pull request (PR) with your changes. Ensure that your PR is clearly titled with the language being added (e.g., "Add French translations").

Updating an Existing Language

To improve or correct an existing language:

1. Edit the Language File: Make updates directly to the relevant JSON file in the packages/app-client/src/locales directory.

2. Submit a Pull Request: After making your changes, submit a pull request. Clearly describe the updates in the PR.
