Improve language support

[etewiah]

Currently only English and Spanish are supported. I would like to add as many languages as possible. Its quite easy to create the files for any language and to populate it with basic translations from google. After that though I would need a native speaker to got through and make sure the translations are correct.
If you speak any language well enough to help with this please mention it here and we can work together to add that translation.

[beeyatch]

We would love to provide you german and french translations. Let me know how to start.

[etewiah]

Hurraaaay! That's great. Thanks for offering to help.

The files that need translation are here:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/tree/master/config/locales

Each file ends with a ".language_code.yml" extension so as you can see all that remains for me to complete the French translations is the admin.fr.yml file.

For the German translations I need to start from scratch. I can obtain the translations for devise.de.yml and rails.de.yml so don't worry about those - I will add them in the next few hours.

It will be really great to have the remaining translations done. Are you familiar with pull requests?

There are also some seed files that I use to populate the website with example data. It would be good to translate those too but first I need to figure out a better way of organising them.

If anything is not clear or you have any questions, just let me know. If you wish, we could arrange a skype call to discuss any issues.

Thanks again for offering to help.

[etewiah]

Hi @beeyatch, I never heard back from you. Still able to help?

[cvillalba]

@etewiah I can help with German, not much with French though.

[etewiah]

@cvillalba that would be awesome. Are my instructions clear enough for you to be able to start on that?

[cvillalba]

@etewiah yeah, no problem. It will be done in a couple of days

[etewiah]

Hi all,

Thanks to the awesome i18n-tasks project by @glebm I am able to generate locale files using google translate. The translations are not perfect of course but it means I have a starting point which should make the process easier.

I now have these google translated files which I need to have verified:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/ru.yml
https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/pt.yml
https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/de.yml

If anyone gets the chance, please have a look. You can just paste the changes that need to be made in a comment here or send me an email if creating a pull request is too much work ;)

[stanleeyY]

I can provide you Chinese (Traditional-hk) translation. Can you make the locale files? :-)

[etewiah]

Hi @bluesky321 , thanks a lot for the offer. I've just added the locale file here:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/zh-HK.yml

Looking forward to the translations. Please let me know if you need help with anything at all.

[etewiah]

Hi @bluesky321, @beeyatch - are either of you going to actually help? It's a bit disappointing to get offers of help which end in nothing :(

[anhpham2710]

please make locale file for Vietnamese!

[etewiah]

Hi @anhpham2710 , I will create the locale files but please don't disappoint me like @bluesky321 and @beeyatch did.

[anhpham2710]

no man, I will try all my best

[etewiah]

Hi @anhpham2710, I have just added the locale file for Vietnamese:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/config/locales/vi.yml

Right now it contains translations from google. Please correct them and send me a pull request when you are ready.

Thanks

[anhpham2710]

Pull request is sent, please merge ;)

[etewiah]

That's great - much quicker than I expected ;)
I've just merged it. I will update the deploy on heroku so you can see what it looks like.
Oh, and don't forget to star the repo if you like it ;)

[etewiah]

Okay, so I've just deployed with your changes to heroku:

https://propertywebbuilder.herokuapp.com/vi

Right now you cannot set Vietnamese as a supported language in the admin section. I will enable that tomorrow and push it out.

[anhpham2710]

look cool, so fast and furious too ;)

[etewiah]

Thanks - there are some nice new features in the pipeline too. Drop me an email (ed at propertywebbuilder.com) and let's have a chat tomorrow.

[Zaldor]

Would love to help out for Italian localization, let me know.

[Zaldor]

Just finished translating from EN to IT
here it is:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1e6nbl6eb4xl96i/it.yml?dl=0

[etewiah]

Mille grazie @Zaldor - much appreciated. Just added it now ;)

There are also some editable strings for which I'd like to set the default values for each locale. I have created a placeholder file for those values in Italian here:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/db/seeds/translations_it.rb

If you get a chance and can translate those, that would be great as well. As those values can be edited by a user through the admin panel it is not essential that I populate them beforehand but its a nice to have.

Hope that makes sense. I will prepare a page in the Wiki explaining a bit more about the different translations and how they work.

Thanks again for your contribution.

[Zaldor]

I'll do it later today.

[Zaldor]

Shouldn't the property types be in all in English?
It seams like it starts in English and it changes to Spanish, I can translate from English to Italian

[etewiah]

Thanks @Zaldor, that will be great. The keys for some items (like "propertyTypes.apartamento") are that way because I started off with a legacy system. They are only used internally anyway so doesn't matter too much.

I used the Spanish translations as a placeholder for the Italian one as I figured they would be more similar. If you prefer to start with the English translations you will find them here:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/db/seeds/translations_en.rb

[etewiah]

Hi @Zaldor, did you get the chance to look at the translations here:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/db/seeds/translations_it.rb

[Zaldor]

I Ed, yes I actually did, and I wanted to ask you if it could be possible to use any more "automated" method like with PO files, Transifex is very nice. But after i was cought by busy life and totally forgot to ask, sorry. I will look again at it and translate it.

[etewiah]

Thanks @Zaldor, send me the translations when you have them ready.

I have looked at automated methods but for this project it is not worthwhile. There are not so many translations and each automated method has a downside. In the case of Transifex it is quite expensive and so far I have not made any money from this project so I cannot spend money on a service like that :(

[etewiah]

I realise now that it is not very obvious which files need to be created in order to add support for a new language so I put together this guide:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/wiki/Adding-translations-for-a-new-language

[NickSchimek]

Hi @etewiah
@tatyana12 is wondering what needs to be done to add support for the Russian language. It seems all the files are there with the exception of the content translation file. Is there anything extra that @tatyana12 can do to get the Russian language support added to her site?

[etewiah]

Hi @tatyana12, @NickSchimek, Russian is already supported as you can see on the demo site:

http://propertywebbuilder.herokuapp.com/ru/p/sell

From the admin panel it is possible to add or remove Russian as a language

[tatyana12]

Hello,
On demo site I see on the right top about 4 words on Russian. But when I've clicked on them
it all go to English.... If Russian language supported, then all or at least most of the words supposed to be in Russian as it was done for an another language represented on this web.
Right now, even a title on main page on English(see below) even so I've clicked on Russian:

"The best realtor in London
Professional staff
We will find you the best property on the market"

How can I see (if it is done) the complete Russian version of this real estate website or if you need any help to make a complete and proper translation to Russian?
thanks.
tatyana12

[etewiah]

Hi @tatyana12 , PropertyWebBuilder only translates the text for the menu etc (content that the user cannot edit). Text like "The best realtor in London" is editable by the user so PropertyWebBuilder does not provide these translations.

If you look here you will see that you can edit the content yourself:

[devasia2112]

I would like to add support for Thai language, should I follow this guide? -> https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/wiki/Adding-translations-for-a-new-language

[etewiah]

Hello @deepcell , thanks for the offer. Yes that guide explains everything.

[devasia2112]

Hi @etewiah , I will start that and as soon I finish, will send a PR for review. Have a nice day.

[kolisnyklera]

@etewiah I would like to add Ukrainian translation if you are interested.

[etewiah]

@etewiah I would like to add Ukrainian translation if you are interested.

Thanks @kolisnyklera , will be great to add Ukrainian but can I suggest you do this in the next month or 2? I am planning on releasing version 2 soon so will be better to add the new translations then.

Thanks

[nok5150]

[loganfreeman]

[etewiah]

@MohamedTay , @loganfreeman : I personally will not add Arabic or Chinese but this project is open source. You can go ahead and add any language you want....

[rocknrollMarc]

So have you got the German done then? Otherwise ill start right now?

[rocknrollMarc]

[etewiah]

Many thanks @rocknrollMarc , much appreciated!

[rocknrollMarc]

What I would realy like to integrate is a kind of CRM something like fatfree which is also an engine, maybe it workes out of the box ill also try that today and maybe make some changes. In the end it would also be nice to have a seprate front end maybe react or ember, what do you think?

[etewiah]

Hey Marc, I didn't receive an email from you but I've seen your email on your repo so I'll send you one now.

Could work out great collaborating. I've already made some enhancements for short term rentals that might be useful for a hotel. I haven't had the chance to release that yet but I can share it with you privately.

[etewiah]

@rocknrollMarc , I cannot reach you via email - I get a notification back saying delivery failed because your inbox is full. Also tried reaching you via twitter.

[aditbaco]

Hi @etewiah, great project you have here. Would love to help for Indonesian (ID) translation as I'm a native and have done several English to Indonesian translation project.
Do reach me via github or by replying my email in your pwb account.

thank you.

[etewiah]

Many thanks @aditbaco, the instructions for adding a new translation are here:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/wiki/Adding-translations-for-a-new-language

If there is anything that is not clear in the instructions please let me know

[etewiah]

Closing this issue as I'm getting a lot of offers to add translations from people who have not read the docs and end up wasting time.
If you really want to add a language feel free to follow the instructions and submit a pull request: https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/wiki/Adding-translations-for-a-new-language

If there is something about the instructions which you don't understand please open an issue about what specifically you need help with.
