[Localization] Oswald Boelcke:
Generally a great idea; however, unless a member who's interested to become a "Recognised Translator" (BTW: Is there already an abbreviation as "RT" is already in use?) personally applies and provides most of the required information by itself, which in turn then just need to be justified, this might be tough.

If you or others intend to recommend somebody, I guess it becomes much more complicated for at least three reasons:

You are required to receive feedback or even better permanent inputs by the developers of an application to you as the OP. By my opinion, the dev's are the focal point due to the feedback and reports they receive regarding their product to provide information about quality and "timely" (whatever this means) delivery of a translation. Usually I wouldn't even mention the latter point as we all are just in our spare or leisure time on XDA, and our life consists of things of certainly higher priority; however, timely delivery might be a tick mark for an upcoming Recognised Translator.

Additionally, it's usually also the dev (normally also the owner of the project in a respective translation collaboration tool) who eventually assigns proofreader privileges to someone for whatever reason (guess most likely satisfaction with the conducted work over a period of time). Just in this thread you don't recognise if someone "simply" translates or even proofreads other translations.

Obviously, you're required to get all dev's into this boat who are asking for translation support in this thread.

It's not always visible in this thread if the contribution to an application continues as the dev quite often doesn't post the availability of new strings. As we all know, most collaboration tools automatically inform us about their appearance, and we simply commence and accomplish our work without telling anybody.

Not even all translations go through this thread - which in my personal opinion is a pity but reality. Quite a few OPs on XDA or even the settings of an application contain links to the requested translation support pages or tools. For example, I'm involved in such a project on Crowdin.

My personal impression: Except in probably a few but very obvious occasions, personal application must be the rule rather than the exception.
[Localization] wedgess:
Should probably also be active in a number of projects on their translations list. I don't think quality can always be assessed and this is one of the problems. Feedback from users of the applications is particularly rare unless the translation is completely wrong (which I have got but thankfully not by a translator from this thread ).

Yeah RT = "Recognized Themer" ..... or is it "Recongnized Translator" :p

Time could be important but wouldn't put it in as a requirement. I think activity is the main one, to be an active translator and constantly visible in the thread by keeping current projects translated and actively contributing to new projects which appear in this thread or elsewhere. I personally don't think anyone should go looking for "Recognized" translators outside or inside of this thread. The ones who are active can be seen.

And finally recognized or not any members contribution is highly appreciated by us developers, keep up the good work! :)
[Localization] gaich:
Of course, this is obvious, translator's application is the first thing to start the process, I just have proposed some items to be included in this application.

List of translations should be compiled by translator itself, we in this thread will maybe discuss, verify, request developers, help to get feedback or something of that kind.

I know it is very hard to evaluate other people's work, but we should provide more details. For the instance, a developer can tell about the increase of downloads in target country after the translation was injected, provide users feedback etc. The moderators that can assign the RT title need arguments, even more because the title is unofficial.

Finally when we decide there is enough information, I will pass this application to the Recognition of translators thread, 'cause I'm a lucky one having access to write there. If they agree, they can grant the title.

Hue Essentials - Crowdin project

Dear all,

I love your translations on Hue Essentials (Philips Hue)!

Many recognised XDA translators helped me so far and this is a word of big thanks! Without you, I would have never reached so many people with my apps like Root Essentials, Custom Bixby Button, Fingerprint Gestures.

There are new strings on Hue Essentials for translation. Promo codes can be requested through Crowdin project page.
[Localization] Oswald Boelcke:
German translation finalised.
[Localization] gaich:
Sorry, what was the reason to translate Russian wiht Google Translator? I have just looked through and was terrified. Please note Google cannot translate things if we talk about Russian language, that`s why we`re here..:laugh:
[Localization] Oswald Boelcke:
...actually, Google can't in any language. Those translation do hurt every mother tongue!
[Localization] SuperThomasLab:
I am quite shocked at what I am reading over here! Most of the Russian translations have been performed through Tomedes (so, paid translations!). Some were pre-translated from Root Essentials (other app) but were translated by Gengo (paid) and Tomedes. We did so because we could not find a good translator. Russian was very important to us as we understood from beta feedback that they did not understand the app at all.

Now, let's get to the point. I do not understand Russian and I cannot see what translations went wrong. Is it wrong on Tomedes translations or only on other translations? Would you, or anyone with expertise, be able to point out where it went wrong? Google-translator should not be our translator;)

@Primokorn: Welcome; fantastic that you're not only going to provide your great advice to XDA members but that you're now supporting developers by translation of their applications to French!:good:
[Localization] Primokorn:
Thanks guys :)

I mainly translate apps and web extensions but I wasn't aware on this thread. I'm Glad to work together.

Hope to have enough free time to help XDA devs too. Missing translations can be a deal breaker for users.

I'll start with [MENTION=5992189]mrYoussef135[/MENTION]'s apps ;)

The thread should be updated since FR translations are already done.
[Localization] tphg:
Vietnamese completed.

Sorry that there is not much time available these days so did not know there were some apps that are requiring translation.
[Localization] Tim Kriuchkov:
Thanks for translating the Strings. We'll be glad if you also have time to translate the Description for Google Play. In all cases, we are very grateful to you!
[Localization] Oswald Boelcke:
For your and for @Robertftvos' information: Proofreading of German strings of Hue Essentials completely accomplished.

I've just revised my translation due to some typo error. Please check the latest version.
[Localization] dugi9991:
[MENTION=4563466]gaich[/MENTION]

As a new translator, it's kind of really hard to have track of the apps - which are still "alive" and should be translated, which are already translated, are the links "dead", etc...

I saw that [MENTION=605662]BurnHard[/MENTION] did a great job of tracking the current live projects and the archived ones (which I use and check for now, it's a great start, thank you!), but I'm not sure if the post are fully up-to-date.

Is there a possibility to dedicate a post or two to those to thing? Maybe on the beginning of the thread?

Also, I know that Croatian is not that popular, but if I missed some app and a dev wants for it to be translated, don't hesitate to contact me.

Already translated some stuff today and also the XDA rules on OneSky (altough not sure if it is in use :)).

But the indexed Translation request's can ease it a lot for new people - or you can point me with some advice on this thread how to orient easier.

Cheers!
[Localization] gaich:
Thank you for caring, we know it`s a weak point of our thread, we have discussed it many times. Some developers just make a request, receive our help, then everything goes on using notification systems of respective translation sites, we can`t even follow the changes.

[MENTION=605662]BurnHard[/MENTION] once made a great and heavy job trying to maintain the active projects list, although it is almost impossible task and I do not think I can somehow revive it. Anyway, if someone thinks he`s able to keep such list actual, he ca n create the post and I will add a link to it in the OP.

Many developers are very active in our thread, you can follow them. If there are some suggestions, let`s discuss.

P.S. [MENTION=4818077]rbt07[/MENTION] has just joined our community to help with Slovak translations:cowboy:
[Localization] Primokorn:
[MENTION=4563466]gaich[/MENTION] Suggestion to list active translation requests:

Open an online doc where everybody* has write access:

1/ Devs post their app and links to translations. They also post here to let us know about the new translation request.

2/ One column for each supported language and we put a check when the translation is finished

3/ As soon as a projet is translated in all languages, it is moved to another doc (for the records).

* all translators mentioned in OP and devs until their project is finished
[Localization] novas78:
[MENTION=4563466]gaich[/MENTION], you know about my work. Now I've decided to publish my current list of translations for other translators. I hope that others will try to help translate these projects into their native language.

Yours sincerely, Lukas

[MENTION=4958579]Primokorn[/MENTION] - I like the idea, one for the "live" translations, currently active and one for the resolved. That way anybody who joins can easily track what to take care of and has a good start.

The main thing is - I or anybody else should go through the thread (not such of a problem) and check every project to see what to put on the active list and what on the finished.

[MENTION=7100773]novas78[/MENTION] - thanks, I appreciate this, already checked your profile on Crowdin, it's a good starting point.

If somebody else has a better idea, please share it with us! I'd love to see even more people on this :)
[Localization] gaich:
Well, guys, I do agree we really need some kind of projects list. Right now I cannot imagine what it would be like, maybe the links to active developers posts, our translators works (@novas78, for the instance) or something else, please suggest. We can't use [MENTION=605662]BurnHard[/MENTION] system, as I wrote above, it's very hard to check all the projects if they're alive, thus we should compose something newer and more comfortable for us. I do not think we should open some document online, as [MENTION=4958579]Primokorn[/MENTION] suggests, we've got our thread here for this purpose. But maybe he is right, because we all cannot receive access to some post in our forum. Maybe, I should just post a link to such document? What do you think?

And I should note the translation project cannot be finished and resolved, developers keep updating their apps, you can follow the project for years, for the instance, I do translate new strings for Greenify, SD Maid, Gravitybox, PassKeep etc every week, we should somehow mark these projects, because they're alive and need constant work.

I just cannot expand first two posts, there's a limit in xda forum. But I can ask moderators to give me another post, if this is possible.
[Localization] DumF0rGaming:
I'm stick to his idea, but devs should remind us themselves each and every month that their projects are still alive, otherwise it will be removed from the list :silly:
[Localization] Primokorn:
XDA is a forum and a forum is not a tool to manage projects. I started a thread several months ago to list FLOSS apps but I finally moved everything on Gitlab because it was a pain to maintain the list on XDA. Yet there's only one maintainer so I can't imagine having a project of translations managed from a thread on XDA.

IMHO this thread showcases our work but it can't really help to get an organized workflow.

About projects such as SD Maid, Greenify... We can imagine something like that:

1/ one sheet/doc for newly suggested apps

2/ one sheet/doc for apps that have been translated but new strings are added from time to time

3/ one sheet/doc for discontinued apps

My 2 cents ;)
[Localization] gaich:
It seems to be reasonable. My plee for the third post was accepted, we`ve got it. Let`s create these docs and add the links in this post, [MENTION=4958579]Primokorn[/MENTION], could you please try? Just start, you`re very experienced, maybe Google docs or Github with link access, then we will ask the developers and translators to add the information. What do you think?:confused:
[Localization] xdatext:
Professional mandarin linguist. Opt in for Chinese translation! :)
[Localization] Robertftvos:
Great to see you joining translations! I reckon many Devs will appreciate this. If you would like to help out on Hue Essentials (on Crowdin, see earlier post by superthomaslab), that would be great!

Over the past weeks we had great translations from:

Primokorn, Dugi991, NCAA, Venborg, Noc-jfcbs, Dumreview, Novas78, Byzlo685, and many more from XDA. Thanks to all of you!
[Localization] Primokorn:
You're welcome! Thanks for coming here to thank us :good:

[MENTION=4563466]gaich[/MENTION]

I've found the tools. I'll suggest my proposal by the end of the week.
[Localization] Primokorn:
It was faster than I though :)

Proposal to manage the translations: https://primokorn.github.io/XDA_Translations/

It would be nice to have several contributors that can handle the pull requests. Don't know how you want to manage this. I just need your Github usernames to grant you access to the repository.

I can also transfer the repository to another person if necessary.

Let me know what you think. I'm new to this thread but I guess [MENTION=4563466]gaich[/MENTION] (at least) will also have access to the repository.

I have one question: how to manage existing apps that receive a major update with many new strings? Maybe posting in this thread is enough and/or temporarily mention those specific apps at the top of the README file (master branch).

To not spam this thread and have real-time conversations I created a team on Flock: https://xdatranslators.flock.com/?i=tldf6rtl6y8aldra

No registration. Just give an email address.

Could be useful until the repository is ready.

EDIT

Updating #post2 may be necessary to get the Github usernames too.

Actually I have no feedback from the XDA translation team since I have created the Github repository so I didn't add a lot of apps yet.

• I wouldn't add all apps for which we are involved but only the ones that have a XDA thread or when we had a request in this thread.

• Who want to become Admin of this repository?

• Do we create files ourselves or do we ask each dev to create their own file?

• Several things to discuss here or on Flock.
