MacPass has translations for a few languages. If you can translate to another language, or you think a translation is wrong, follow the next steps to add or improve a translation:
- You can use a XLIFF editor for translating the strings. For example XLIFFTool
- For a new localization only:
- Select MacPass in the project navigator
- Select the MacPass project in the project and targets list
- Open the info tab and click the
+
button un the localizations section. - Choose the language you want to translate
- Select all resources and click finish, now the new language is available for export in the next step
- Export the XLIFF file
- Select the MacPass project in XCode
- Go to
Editor -> Export for Localization
- Select the language you want to translate
- Now use your XLIFF editor and save the file if you are done with your translations
- Go back to XCode and use
Editor -> Import Localization
to import the changes
Alternatively, you can open an issue to ask a dev to create the XLIFF file for you and send it back after you've finished localising.
