• Step 1 : Go to the translation landing page and click a link to start the translation(e.g. Status app translation) in the language card. You need to sign up for Lokalise in advance.

• Step 2 : You will find a project that needs your help. Check out the progress and click 'WORDS TO DO (new words)' or 'UNVERIFIED (updated words)'.

• Step 3 : Lokalise offers useful online translators (e.g. Google Translatetor) showing suggestions for each of the strings and safely protects variables or string interpolation components that should not be translated. Let's get it started!

Translation Guidelines

• Translation
  All languages have a different word order and cutural background. Therefore, we encourage you to translate all the words and sentences into your language in comparison with the actual Status DApp and website. Also, you need to be careful when using the online translators that Lokalise offers. For example, Status itself is an English word so it sometimes recognize Status as the English word status . Please review all the translations carefully after you make some changes.

  • Status DApp
    • Donwload: https://status.im/get/
    • Languages: https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/tree/develop/translations
  • Status.im website:

    • Repo: https://github.com/status-im/status.im
  • Notes:
    • For Status Dapp translations: keep these as short as possible, don't add nouns or verbs unless absolutely necessary. The translation is shown on Mobile; space is limited.
    • Please don't translate Empty in the project It should be a blank.
    • Check out the unverified translation first. It means some outdated translations need your updates.

• Review
  All the translations will be reviewed via dev links

  • Status.im homepage : https://dev-lang.status.im/
  • Status DApp : apk(Android) or ipa(iOS) files for testing purposes
  • Your translatoins will be reviewed by other ambassadors or other open source contributors. All the contributors can be a reviewer and decide which one goes live through the Lokalise's translation upvoting. To be a reviewer,
    • email: translate@status.im
    • Status public chat

• Progress
  You can find the progresses on the translation campaign website. Your translation will be applied if it is completed more than 90%.
