Translations

Translations are managed using the Transifex platform. After signing up, you can go to iD's project page, select a language and click Translate to start translating.

The translation strings for this project are located in a resource called community.

 

What to translate

All community resources automatically support localization of the name, description, and extendedDescription text. These fields should be written in US English.

"strings": {
  "name": "Bay Area OpenStreetMappers",
  "description": "Improve OpenStreetMap in the Bay Area",
  "extendedDescription": "This group is about growing the OpenStreetMap community here in the Bay Area. Our events are open to everyone, from open source enthusiasts, cyclists, GIS professionals, geocachers, and beyond. Anyone and everyone who is interested in maps, map making and free map data is welcome to join our group as well as attend our events."
}

If a resource includes events, you can choose whether to write the name, description, and where fields in your local language, or write in US English and add "i18n": true to allow translation of these values (useful for events with a wider audience).
