translating the Graphical User Interface of Pure Data ===========================================

This translation project aims at making "Pure Data" (commonly called "Pd"), a realtime graphical programming environment for audio and multimedia processing, accessible in multiple languages.

Since the programming language itself is heavily based on English (like many other programming languages), this translation project is targeting the IDE instead.

guidelines

• Please do not start new translations that you do not plan to actually translate

• Please prefer translating to languages you are familiar with

• If there's an existing translation to a language where you are not a native speaker, think twice before editing. check the people who did the translation (they might be native speakers and really know better :-))

  Translating only languages you are familiar with might sound obvious, but with the help of google translate and the like, people think they are empowered to translate everything. We really want high-quality translations created by people for people. Automated translation services can help tremendously, but they still require someone who can speak the language to check each translation. So if you plan to only fill the spaces of a foreign language with automated translations, it's probably better to wait for a native speaker.

  Many languages have their weird idiosyncrasies (e.g. French requiring a non-breaking-space before each punctuation mark), so familiarize yourself with these before "fixing" correct translations.

  There's little use in having a Klingon translation file that does not contain the translation of a single term; better spend your energy on adding translations to an existing language.

  be friendly. don't start edit wars. use the "Comments" to discuss why you think a given translation should be improved.

The friendly people of Weblate are hosting the Pd translation for free! 🎉

However, since in reality hosting webservices does cost money, they would be happily accepting donations for their continued support. So if you have spare bucks, head over to https://weblate.org/donate/
