# Translation Process
|
|
|
|
### Overview
|
|
|
|
Bisq is offered in multiple languages. Translations are managed with Transifex online software.
|
|
|
|
User facing texts **must not** be hardcoded in the source code files.
|
|
|
|
English is the base language for translations.
|
|
|
|
### Adding or changing English texts
|
|
|
|
Being a base language English is managed directly in the project.
|
|
|
|
Edit `core/src/main/resources/i18n/displayStrings.properties` to add or modify English texts.
|
|
Mind the chapters. Fit your entry properly.
|
|
|
|
Once your changes get merged the Transifex will sync itself with GitHub.
|
|
|
|
However, **do not** edit files for other languages. They are synced from Transifex.
|
|
|
|
### Adding or changing texts in other languages (non-English)
|
|
|
|
All translations are managed with [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/).
|
|
Sign up, find `bisq-desktop` project, and join the team.
|
|
Once accepted, you will be able to edit translations.
|
|
|
|
The entry must exist in English to be available for translation.
|
|
|
|
To make translations effective in the project you need to install the Transifex client and run the script to pull the updates.
|
|
This is described below.
|
|
|
|
### Installing the Transifex client command-line tool
|
|
|
|
You'll find a detailed guide [how to install the Transifex client](https://docs.transifex.com/client/installing-the-client) on the Transifex page.
|
|
|
|
The Transifex Bisq project config file is included as part of the repository. It can be found at `core/.tx/config`.
|
|
|
|
### Synchronising translations
|
|
|
|
We've prepared a script to update the translation files with the Transifex client command-line tool.
|
|
|
|
* Run [update_translations.sh](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/blob/master/core/update_translations.sh)
|
|
|
|
Synchronization output expected:
|
|
|
|
* All translation files in [i18n directory](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/blob/master/core/src/main/resources/i18n) have been updated.
|
|
|
|
Go over the changes if there are any obvious issues (Transifex had once a problem which caused a rewrite of certain keys)
|
|
and commit and push them to master.
