How to become a translator

Join us on the Olympus DAO discord server and introduce yourself in the #app-translations channel

Someone will set you up.

How to translate

• You can open the .po file of the language of your choice directly in github
• Look at the text in each msgid line and translate it in the msgstrline just below
• You can check the live site to have some context about the texts to be translated. If in doubt, do not hesitate to leave a message on the #app-translations channel
• Commit your changes

Checking your translations

On the staging area

We do not have an environment for you to check your translations immediately, you will have to wait for them to be published on the staging URL: https://staging.olympusdao.finance

If you really want to check your translations and you have a bit of knowledge with git and npm do the following

Locally

git clone https://github.com/OlympusDAO/olympus-frontend.git
cd olympus-frontend
yarn lingui:branch:develop
yarn install
yarn start

Replace yarn with yarn.cmd if you are using windows You may also need to make sure that you are not tempering with the end-line characters when cloning the repository git config --global core.autocrlf false

Edit the src/locales/index.ts and add a line xx: { flag: "gb", plurals: en }, after the export const locales: ILocales = { line. Where xx is the language you are translating to. If you have time for more research, you can choose:

• the flag from flag-icon: https://github.com/lipis/flag-icons/blob/main/country.json
• the plurals from make-plural: https://github.com/eemeli/make-plural/blob/master/packages/plurals/plurals.d.ts

A browser showing you the site should start with the latest develop branch and your updated translations
