Process for adding Nextcloud app "Empleados" to Transifex

Hello Nextcloud translation team,

I hope you are doing well.

I have identified an application in the Nextcloud app store—specifically, empleados ( https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/empleados ) —that is currently not available in the Transifex libraries for translation. As a contributor/translator, I would like to help localize this and potentially other applications in a similar situation.

Could you please clarify the following:

  1. What is the process for requesting the addition of a Nextcloud app to Transifex?
  2. Are there specific requirements or steps that need to be fulfilled (e.g., developer approval, app maturity criteria)?
  3. Who should be contacted to initiate this process?

Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards,
Modestas Girdzevicius

You need to differenciate between apps provide by Nextcloud and 3rd-party apps provided by someone else. Only apps provided by Nextcloud are translated via Transifex. You need to reach-out to the developer and ask him how he is handling translation requests.

Hello Modestas,

glad you find the way to our beloved community forums as well!

We translate core server bundle apps and many other 3rd party apps as well.

The most important thing to determine first is whether the app’s lead developer wants a translation.

The app must be set up for localisation.
If that is the case, an issue must be created at https://github.com/nextcloud/docker-ci/issues.

There you’ll find the “:input_symbols: Request translations” template, which describes everything in detail.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Not correct, see my comments above.

Sorry, but localization seems to be the least of this app’s problems. :wink:

I installed it and immediately ran into an internal server error. Then I tried to assign the Data Manager role as described here: empleados/README.md at main · Destripador/empleados · GitHub

Result: another HTTP 500 error.

I’m not a developer, and I can’t really judge the code quality. However, judging from my experience, and just the general “vibes” :wink: I get from the GitHub repository, issues, and documentation, I don’t exactly get the impression that there’s a wealth of software engineering experience behind this project. Of course, I could be completely wrong.

Hi bb77,

Thank you for taking the time to test the app and share your experience. im the developer of this app.

The HTTP 500 errors related to the initial setup and the assignment of the Data Manager role were identified and have been fixed in newer releases. We have also been working on improving the installation process, configuration validation, documentation, and overall stability of the app.

The project is actively maintained, and localization support has also been expanded, with additional languages being added progressively.

I completely understand the impression you may have gotten from the version you tested. The project has continued to evolve since then, and feedback like yours helps us identify the areas that need more attention.

If you have the opportunity to test the latest version and still encounter an issue, please open a GitHub issue with your Nextcloud version, the Empleados app version, and the relevant Nextcloud log entry. I will be happy to investigate it.

Thanks again for the feedback.

About app translations:

We, the translators, have currently stopped the inclusion of new apps in the project “Nextcloud” on Transifex.
The project is growing too fast at the moment. The translators can no longer make it and we discuss restructuring and criteria.
