Translation Status

About Translations

Blankie is translated by volunteers. If you'd like to help translate Blankie into your language, please check thecontribution guidelines.

Getting Started with Translation

1. Download the English template to use as your starting point
2. Translate the strings by editing the JSON or CSV file (keep the original keys and structure)
3. Submit your translations either:
   • Through a GitHub issue using the Translation contribution template
   • Or by emailing them to i18n@blankie.rest

Understanding the Status

We track translation progress in two categories:

• Finalized: Translations that are ready for use
• In Review: Translations that need validation

Status labels are based on the combined progress:

• Complete: 90%+ strings finalized
• Well Translated/Nearly Complete: 70%+ finalized or 90%+ combined progress
• In Progress: 50%+ combined progress
• Getting Started/All Needs Review: Some strings translated or in review
• Not Started: No translation work yet

Needs Review

Strings marked as "needs review" are translations that may need attention, such as strings that:

• Were automatically translated and need human verification
• May not match the context correctly
• Need updates after the source string changed

Working with Translations

On a language page, you can download translations as CSV files to work on them in spreadsheet software. After making changes, you can contribute by submitting a GitHub issue with your translation file. If you're comfortable using Xcode, you can also fork the repository, import changes from a CSV or JSON file using our import script, then test locally and create a pull request with your changes.
