Also pining @rakekniven - maybe a announcement to the translators on transifex could be done?
I finished the Esperanto translation others had begun. 100% is done. But, as there is no option in the Android client to change app language (it takes it from the system language, which is logical), one can never use this translation as there’s no Esperanto system Android version… I posted an issue here:
If it’s decided not to allow language change by the user, it would be better to delete the Esperanto language from the Transifex Android client, to avoid unnecessary work. (And keep the other Esperanto translations [desktop client, web…]: they work perfectly).
there was the decision to not add a language switcher to mobile clients (Android, iOS, Windows).
Therefor we do not need the esperanto language.
On Transifex we do not have the possibility to delete a resource just for one specific language.
Solution example:
For all mobile resources for informal german language (we have two german languages) we added the same translation string to all resource strings:
“Does not require translation. For Android only the formal translation is used (de_DE).”
By desktop, I meant the sync client: it apparently takes the language from the system one (my Linux system is set to Esperanto, eo.UTF-8).
I should have checked before continuing to translate… My bad!
Better not deleting the Android Esperanto translation: it’s very useful when translating the rest of Nextcloud as it is proposed by Transifex for similar texts…
One alternative could have been using the language chosen by the user in the web interface. But I think it’s too late now for to reconsider this decision.
Ok, so the desktop client does the same as mobile clients. It is using system settings. On desktop you can adapt them in detail, on mobile clients you only choose the language for the system.
Yes, I agree. So, the user who took the time to choose another language in the web interface could expect that choice to follow on other parts of Nextcloud.
Hi @rakekniven, just to give you a ping
We are about to release 3.8.0RC1 of the Android client, so it’d be great to have an announcement for the translators for https://www.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/android/ to maybe go over the open/missing translations, so more languages could be shipped with 100% translations by the time we release 3.8.0 (around 2 weeks from now). Thanks for your help
