Translating​

internationalization

Do you know several languages? Are you willing to help localize eLabFTW? You're in the right place.

How to translate?

  • Join the project on poeditor.com
  • Select elabftw
  • Select one or several languages (open a GitHub issue if your language is not present)
  • Start translating
  • Ignore things like <strong>, <br>, %s, %d and keep the punctuation like it was!

Translations are merged in the code before a release. You must not try and edit the .po/.mo files directly in the source code.
