Translation Guidelines

Max Mulatz edited this page Mar 1, 2016 · 6 revisions

We are happy, if you help us with internationalization.

For translatating phrases please use the following convention in the view files:

<%= t "application.name_of_my_phrase %>

And in all .yml files add your phrase the key application:

e.g. config/locales/where2help/views/de.yml:

de:
...
  application:
    name_of_my_phrase: "Übersetzung meiner Phrase"

e.g. config/locales/where2help/views/en.yml:

en:
...
  application:
    name_of_my_phrase: "Translation of my Phrase"

Testing:

To quickly test your language, just temporarily change the default in the :set_locale method in the ApplicationController.

# in /app/controllers/application_controller.rb
def set_locale
  # just set it to a symbol of the language you want to test
  # e.g. for English:
  I18n.locale = :en
end
