Translating Syncthing (on Weblate)

Anyone is welcome to contribute translations for Syncthing. Just sign up at Hosted Weblate and get started on any existing language. The base (source) language is English, but you can easily cross-check from other already translated languages that you know. New languages can be requested using the Start new translation button at the bottom, but need approval from a maintainer.

Note that there is no formal review process, so please get in touch directly with others working on your language if there are disagreements and try working together.

The previously used translation platform, Transifex, is currently still in use for the Android app component. We plan to migrate that as well in the coming months.

I wanted to translate the newly added strings, but it looks like there’s a problem.

The translation is temporarily closed for contributions due to maintenance, please come back later.

The translation was automatically locked due to following alerts: Could not merge the repository.

Saw the notification, will check what’s going on as soon as I’m at my laptop again.

So it seems the automatic retrieval and committing of changes to our main repository creates conflicts when Weblate tries to rebase its commits on top of the updated upstream branch where they are already contained. Merging works fine however, so I switched it over to try a merge instead of a rebase. That fixed the immediate error, let’s see how it behaves in the coming weeks.

Great! Thanks for a very quick reaction. Still getting used to Weblate though :sweat_smile:.
