Welcome

Welcome and thank you for your willingness to contribute to jamovi with translations. This is the place where we host translations for jamovi (the statistical spreadsheet; https://www.jamovi.org/) itself. If you would like to contribute to the jamovi documentation please visit https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/jamovidocs/ and if you would like to contribute to the translation of the jamovi textbook (Learning statistics with jamovi; lsj) please visit https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/lsjdocs/

Important information for translators

Translations for each language are designated one of three statuses; production, in development, or hidden. By default, translations will be designated in development. Translations which are in development will not be automatically assigned to users who's device is set to that language, and must be selected from the language menu. Once designated as production, users who's device is set to that language will be presented with that language (provided they have their language settings set to system default).

To transition a language from in development to production, you can add a "X-Status: production\n" line to the raw .po file. Feel free to drop the jamovi admins a line if you don't feel confident doing this.

There are some special characters that are used for formatting parts of the strings that you may translate. If you find terms preceded by the $-sign (e.g., $key) or enclosed by curly brackets {} (e.g., {n}) or backticks ` (e.g., `data`), they should be kept as they are (it is perhaps easiest to just copy-and-paste them from the original English string). * are also used for formatting (* means italics and ** means bold), but here the words between them have to be translated.

When translating, Weblate offers you "Automatic suggestions" from Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, DeepL (availability may vary depending on the target language). The button / tab for switching it on / showing it is around the lower third of the screen.
