Translate the App

Tõlgete koostamisele kaasaaitamine aitab Meshtasticut laiemale publikule kättesaadavaks teha. Rakendus kasutab nii kasutajaliidese kui ka rakendusesisese dokumentatsiooni kogukonna tõlgete haldamiseks Crowdinit.

What Gets Translated

Resource	Source Location	Sõnumid
UI strings	composeResources/values/strings.xml	Buttons, labels, messages, and all user-visible text
User Guide pages	docs/user/*.md	In-app documentation shown in Help & Documentation
Fastlane metadata	fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/	App Store listing title, description, and changelogs

⚠️ Note: Developer Guide pages are English-only. Code-focused documentation targeting contributors is not translated.

How to Contribute

1. Külasta Crowdini projekti. Ava Meshtastic Android Crowdini projekt ja logi sisse või loo tasuta konto.
2. Vali keel. Vali olemasolev keel või taotle uut, avades GitHubi probleemi.
3. Tõlgi stringe. Crowdin kuvab ingliskeelse allika vasakul ja sinu tõlke paremal. Translate each string and save.
4. Review context. Many strings include screenshots or context comments — check these to understand where the text appears in the app.
5. Submit. Approved translations are automatically merged into the next release.

💡 Tip: Keep translations short. UI strings often appear in buttons, chips, or narrow columns. If a translation is significantly longer than the English original, consider abbreviating where the meaning stays clear.

Adding a New Language

Kui teie keelt Crowdinis veel pole:

1. Ava probleem GitHubis ja taotle uut locale.
2. Hooldaja lisab keele Crowdinile ja seadistab faili crowdin.yml.
3. Pärast lisamist saad kohe tõlkima hakata.

How Translations Are Organized

The Android app uses Compose Multiplatform resources for all user-visible strings:

core/resources/src/commonMain/composeResources/
├── values/              ← English (default)
│   └── strings.xml
├── values-de/           ← German
│   └── strings.xml
├── values-fr/           ← French
│   └── strings.xml
└── ...

In-app documentation follows a similar pattern under docs/:

docs/
├── en/user/             ← English source (default)
│   ├── onboarding.md
│   └── ...
├── fr-rFR/user/         ← French (France)
│   ├── onboarding.md
│   └── ...
├── de-rDE/user/         ← German (Germany)
│   └── ...
└── ...

Locale folders use the Android resource convention {lang}-r{REGION} (e.g. fr-rFR, de-rDE, ja-rJP), matching the values-* directories used for app strings.

The app automatically selects the correct locale based on your device's Language & Region settings.

Translation Guidelines

• Ära tõlgi tehnilisi termineid nagu "LoRa", "MQTT", "BLE", "TAK", "SNR", or "RSSI" — need on universaalsed.
• Keep placeholders intact. Strings like %1$s or %d are filled in at runtime. Do not remove or reorder them unless the grammar of your language requires it.
• Match tone. The app uses a friendly, direct voice. Avoid overly formal language.
• Testi võimalusel. Vaheta seadme keelt ja ava rakendus, et näha, kuidas tõlked kontekstis välja näevad.
