Translations

How to translate Kanboard to a new language?

• Translations are stored inside the directory app/Locales
• There is sub-directory for each language, by example for the French we have fr_FR, Italian it_IT etc...
• A translation is a PHP file that return an Array with a key-value pairs
• The key is the original text in english and the value is the translation for the corresponding language
• French translations are always up to date
• Always use the last version (branch master)

Create a new translation:

1. Make a new directory: app/Locales/xx_XX by example app/Locales/fr_CA for French Canadian
2. Create a new file for the translation: app/Locales/xx_XX/translations.php
3. Use the content of the French locales and replace the values
4. Inside the file app/Model/Config.php, add a new entry for your translation inside the function getLanguages()
5. Check with your local installation of Kanboard if everything is ok
6. Send a pull-request with Github

How to update an existing translation?

1. Open the translation file app/Locales/xx_XX/translations.php
2. Missing translations are commented with // and the values are empty, just fill blank and remove comments
3. Check with your local installation of Kanboard and send a pull-request
