📜 Contributing Translation

🎉 For Non-Developers: You can also contribute improving the translation by using this Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1boRpeELHOXZ87bhBHSudWT7hOR00Vy5CJPBJivX-xps/edit?usp=sharing

For adding a new language


  • Open the Terminal and cd to care_fe/src/Locale
  • Run the command node update_locale.js <LANG_CODE> Eg: node update_locale.js ml for Malayalam
  • The command will create a directory with default locale files and you can start translating them.
  • After it's done, add the new language to care_fe/src/Locale/config.ts file and also import it in care_fe/src/i18n.ts 🚀

For improving the existing language


  • Open the Terminal and cd to care_fe/src/Locale
  • Run the command node update_locale.js <LANG_CODE> Eg: node update_locale.js ml for Malayalam
  • The command will update the new keys which are yet to be translated.
  • You can now start translating or improving it.

Note

⚠ - If you are adding a new word, then please add it to the Default Locale (EN) first and then proceed with your language.

⚠ - After translating, have a look at its appearance. It may be overflowing or cause some UI breaks. Try to adjust the words such that it fits the UI.

⚠ - Try to separate the translation files for each module like Facility, Patient and more. Don't dump all the keys in one JSON file.
