Translation introduction

[ComputerElite]

So you want to get started translating BMBF Manager to any language?
Then you are at the right Place.

How do I start Translating?

1. Grab the language file in englisch which is made by me from here.
2. Copy the file and rename it from en to your language
3. Translate then fill out the translator and language values at the top with your name and the translated language
4. Start BMBF Manager once and then copy the language file which you translated into the languages folder. (Note: Every time you change something you need to save the file and restart BMBF Manager.)

What is important?

• The {0}, {1}, ... are for BMBF Manager to insert variables. So don't forget to put them back.
• The file is a json meaning you don't translate every single word (see the picture below. Only translate the orange text)
  
• \n is a line break.
• Everything is grouped into the windows. Each window is divided in the UI and the textbox stuff for you to get a better view
• If you have any things you didn't translate then either
  • Delete those properties OR
  • Leave them in english

How do I bundle the language with the program?

1. Send the language file to me (either via this discussion or via Discord)
2. I'll then check if the UI is ok and then check some text with google translate to validate.
3. After that I'll reach back to you and let you know what needs to be redone or approve your translation and bundle it with the next update

Anything else?
That's everything you need to know. If you still need anything ask under this discussion or hit me up on Discord.
