How to help

If you would like to help translate the addon you can be useful by submitting new locales or updating the ones already available. The usage of software such as Poedit is strongly advised.

New locales

You can use the master .pot to start translating. If you are familiar with GitHub, cloned the repository, and want to submit a PR, the file name must be all lowercase as such: resources/language/resource.language.<locale>/strings.po. If you instead don't want to submit a PR, it doesn't matter.

Translating

Po/Pot files are text files which provide source/translated strings. The structure is simple:

msgctxt "#30001"
msgid "Amazon Account"
msgstr "<Translation goes here>"

Other than translating all msgids, if you're translating through a regular text editor you want to place the correct information in the Last-Translator, Language and Plural-Forms fields (for plural forms consult this link). For example:

"Last-Translator: @Varstahl\n"
"Language: it_IT\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1)\n"

It's recommended to use software that can help with the translation, such as the free cross-platform Poedit or other professional tools such as Passolo.

Providing the translation

New translations

You can submit a PR to the repository, or create an issue with the translation attached, and we'll manage the rest.

Existing translations

You can submit a PR or go to the specific translation file available in the master branch, click edit, and paste the updated content.

When ready, you can commit the changes by filling the required form below the editor, and this last step will create a PR for you.

Starting the commit title with l10n: (lower-case L10N) is preferred, together with the language locale. Commit titles such as l10n: it_IT update or l10n: added pt_BR help us and users find the appropriate PR faster.

In all other cases you can attach the translation file to a reply on this issue, or upload it somewhere and contact us in the Kodi forum thread.
