Hat.sh Translation Guide

In order to add a translation to the app, please follow these steps:

1. create a folder in the locales directory, where the name of this new folder should contain the code of the language. (e.g de_DE for German language or nl_NL for Dutch). language codes can be found here.

2. create index.js file in the new directory.

3. copy index.js content from the en_US (english) folder and edit the code and the content.

4. open locales/locales.js file from the locales directory and import the new file like the rest.

5. for the docs all you have to do is copy docs.md from en_US folder to the new language directory and start editing the content. (e.g de_DE/docs.md)

Run the app in dev mode to test.

Example:

The original english translation file.

en_US/index.js

const en_US = {
  language_name: "English",
  sub_title: "simple, fast, secure client-side file encryption",
};
export default en_US;

Copy en_US file content and create new language folder and file :

de_DE/index.js

const de_DE = {
  language_name: "Deutsch",
  sub_title: "Einfache, schnelle, sichere Client-seitige Dateiverschlüsselung",
};
export default de_DE;

then import the new file in locales.js

import en_US from "./en_US";
import de_DE from "./de_DE";

const locales = {
  en_US,
  de_DE,
};

export default locales;
