Crowdin, translations and translators

[ikanakova]

General discussion about translations

[ikanakova]

I have a question:
<string name="show_like_button">Show Like button</string>
@fast4x The like button is the heart (favorites), right?

[fast4x]

yes, in this case is relative to enable it on settings for background player

[ikanakova]

OK I'll make some improvements in strings to make it "favorite button" instead of "like button" and other suggestions from crowdin.

[ikanakova]

@fast4x I was wondering if it would be possible to post updates in strings.xml a few hours before the release of the new version, so that the translation of the news could be merged into the new version? For example: by a certain hour of a certain day (e.g. to Friday 12:00 AM), the translators would know that they could get the translation done in time for the new version, including the new features.

[fast4x]

Okay, I’m trying, but it’s really challenging.
i push now the new version of strings

[ikanakova]

If that's the problem, it can stay as it is. I just thought it would be great.

[fast4x]

Pushed and synced with crowdin

[fast4x]

This version of strings it's optimized, i removed translations not used..

[comradekingu]

Can Weblate be used instead of Crowin on account of the latter having problems both in terms of license and utility?

[fast4x]

It is a paid service

[jzitnik-dev]

It is a paid service

Yeah, you would need to self host it if you want it for free.

[comradekingu]

There is a libre plan for libre software projects https://hosted.weblate.org/hosting/
:)

I'll chwck it thanks

[fast4x]

Maybe if it's ok localization of RiMusic will migrate to https://gitlocalize.com/

[fast4x]

Unfortunately GitLocalize does not support the translation file format used in Android. Migration will not be possible.

[fast4x]

Incomplete translations will be eliminated by Crowdin this month.

I'm talking about:

• Afrikaans
• Arabic
• Esperanto
• Greek
• Sinhala
• Telugu
• Vietnamese

These languages are translated less than 50% and will be deleted to recover space on Crowdin.

Obviously they will not be deleted from the app.

@fast4x Is this LIBRARY not available in app/src/main/res/values-en/strings.xml?

[sayyid5416]

Also missing for Player Appearance > PLAYER ACTION BAR > Show Equalizer

[fast4x]

I'll check it thanks

[fast4x]

I am pleased to tell you that Crowdin has accepted Rimusic as an opensource project and has granted an opensource license with no limitations compared to the previous free plan.

[comradekingu]

The limitations is the project has to be non-commercial.
Crowdin dictating every single condition is also not good.
There are heaps of stuff that applies if you read the terms and conditions and all the spaghetti of surrounding documents, like for example the cookie policy.

[fast4x]

As suggested by @JZITNIK-github, I am preparing the website https://rimusic.xyz translation project on Crowdin. This means that the website can also be translated in the same way as RiMusic. I want to clarify that the site has been made multilingual thanks to the implementation of @JZITNIK-github

[NEVARLeVrai]

Already translated everything ^^, also the app is becoming very beautiful !

[fast4x]

From now it's active a specific url for translation https://translate.rimusic.xyz its same as direct link to Crowdin project page.
