Translation

Translations can be done for:

• UI: see i18n/translations
• Documentation: i18n/README.md

UI

Add a file in format xy-WZ.json in translations, where xy is a locale (like en, es or pt), and WZ is country (like US, MX or BR).

Documentation

Install dependencies

Execute:

poetry install --extras docs

Configure translation

Open mkdocs.yml and edit the plugins section with the following premises:

• choose the locale "extension" (like en, es or pt);
• add entries to plugins.i18n.languages in mkdocs.yml;
• add entries to plugins.i18n.nav_translations inmkdocs.yml;
• create sibling files, corresponding to files ending with en.md, in the same folders they are in, with the extension you chose;
• translate the contents of files.

Example

Suppose you translated to a fake locale Lorem ipsum. So, you can call the locale extension as lo. Now, you will add the following lo entries to plugins.i18n.languages in mkdocs.yml:

• name: name of the language that will be shown in the web interface
• site_name: translated website title

plugins:
  ...
  - i18n:
    default_language: en
    languages:
      en: English
      lo:
        name: Lorem ipsum
        site_name: Krux - Adipiscing enim eu turpis egestas pretium aenean pharetra.

Now, you will add the following lo entries to plugins.i18n.nav_translations in mkdocs.yml. These entries are the equivalent of those shown in the menus.

• Home: translation;
• Getting Started: translation;
• Devices and Part List: translation;
• FAQ: translation;
• Support the Project: translation;
• About: translation;
• Installing: translation;
• Generating a Mnemonic: translation;
• Loading a Mnemonic: translation;
• Navigating the Main Menu: translation;
• Using a Single-sig Wallet: translation;
• Using a Multisig Wallet: translation;
• Printing: translation;
• Settings: translation;

plugins:
  ...
  - i18n:
    ...
    nav_translations:
      # [... other translation ...]
      lo:
        Home: Ut enim
        Getting Started: Ad minim
        Devices and Part List: Veniam
        FAQ: Quis nostrud 
        Support the Project: Exercitation ullamco laboris
        About: Nisi
        Installing: Ut aliquip 
        Generating a Mnemonic: Ex ea
        Loading a Mnemonic: Consequat
        Navigating the Main Menu: Duis aute irure dolor
        Using a Single-sig Wallet: In reprehenderit in voluptate
        Using a Multisig Wallet: Velit esse cillum dolore 
        Printing: Eu fugiat
        Settings: Nulla pariatur
      # [... other translation ...]

Now you can start translating the pages. The original ones are defined in nav section at mkdocs. The format will be <name>.<locale>.md. It is important to note that:

• must be located in the same folder as the en file.
• must have the same name;
• must have a locale other than en;
• must end with md;

For example, let's check the structure of the original files:

# ..configurations...
nav:
  - Home: index.en.md
  - Getting Started:
    - About: getting-started/index.en.md
    - Installing: getting-started/installing.en.md
    - Generating a Mnemonic: getting-started/generating-a-mnemonic.en.md
    - Loading a Mnemonic: getting-started/loading-a-mnemonic.en.md
    - Navigating the Main Menu: getting-started/navigating-the-main-menu.en.md
    - Using a Single-sig Wallet: getting-started/using-a-single-sig-wallet.en.md
    - Using a Multisig Wallet: getting-started/using-a-multisig-wallet.en.md
    - Printing: getting-started/printing.en.md
    - Settings: getting-started/settings.en.md
  - Devices and Part List: parts.en.md
  - FAQ: faq.en.md
  - Support the Project: support.en.md
# ..configurations...

Let's start with the Home page, which is written in the file index.en.md. First, create a copy:

$> cp docs/index.en.md docs/index.lo.md

Now open the created file and translate it, always remembering to keep the reading structure:

---
hide:
  - navigation
  - toc
---
# Krux
<img srcset="img/logo-150.png" align="right">

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Vitae congue mauris rhoncus aenean vel. Ridiculus mus mauris vitae ultricies leo integer. Mi ipsum faucibus vitae aliquet nec.

Aliquet lectus proin nibh nisl condimentum id venenatis. Ultrices tincidunt arcu non sodales. 

Consectetur lorem donec massa sapien faucibus et molestie ac.

Now you can execute the docs server to check your change:

$> mkdocs serve
INFO     -  Building documentation...
WARNING  -  Language 'lo' is not supported by lunr.js, not setting it in the 'plugins.search.lang' option

And you will see an icon next to the search field where you can select your translation:

If its ok, you can make your PR.
