Translation Guide for Pixeval

Welcome to the Pixeval project! We appreciate your help in translating the application into various languages. Follow these steps to contribute.

Steps for Translation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Pixeval/Pixeval.git
   cd Pixeval
   

2. Run the translation script:

   Navigate to the root directory of the project where the script is located and run the following PowerShell script. This script will copy the English .resjson files to your language folder, update the translations, and open the folders where the translation files are located.

   powershell translate.ps1
   

3. Edit the translation files:

   Open each .resjson file in your language folder and translate the strings.

4. Test your translations:

   For testing, currently you need to build the program yourself. Instructions on how to build the program are described in the Prerequisites section of the README.en.md file. Note that the libraries required for building will take up about 20-25 gigabytes. Generally, you can translate and commit your changes, and GitHub Actions will build a test version from your commit.

Translation Tools

Here are some recommended tools for translating the .resjson files:

• Visual Studio Code - A powerful and customizable code editor.
• Resource Checker - Our solution for verification and translation assistance

Future Plans

We plan to move the translation process to a dedicated translation service like Crowdin in the future to streamline and improve the translation process.

Stay tuned for updates!
