Helium i18n
This directory contains the translations for Helium browser UI strings.
Files
source.gen.json- Auto-generated list of translatable strings extracted from from patches. Do not edit manually.languages.json- Map of locale codes to language names for all supported languages. Do not edit, we are not adding support for additional languages beyond what is already supported in Chromium.translations/- Per-language translation files.
Submitting translations
Do not open pull requests with new translations! We run translations in batches, if you would like to contribute to the translation of Helium, please wait for the next batch.
If you are editing existing strings (e.g. you noticed some string(s) that are incorrect), feel free to open a pull request as usual.
Translation reviewers
Your responsibility as a reviewer is to ensure the translation is the best it can be. When reviewing translations for a specific language, focus on:
- Accuracy of the translation relative to the
sourcefield - Correct preservation of
<ph>placeholder tags - Appropriate formality register for the language
- "Helium" and other brand names should not be translated
If you notice an error or mistranslation in any of the strings, feel free to open a pull request to resolve it.
Translation owners
If you are a native speaker of a particular language and would be willing to review any changes made to its translations, you may ask to be added for the particular language file in owners.yml, if there are no or few translators for that file. This would be preferrably done in a PR related to the file itself.
Development
When adding strings to Helium, you might need to regenerate the source
file using ./devutils/i18n.py generate. Do not generate machine translations
of the strings, the maintainers will take care of this.
To apply existing translations to the Chromium tree, use utils/i18n_apply.py.
For more instructions, see the help (-h) output of these scripts.
Format
Each file in translations/ is a JSON array of translated entries.
Entries are matched to source.gen.json by content (name + source),
not by position. Each entry is an object:
{
"name": "IDS_EXAMPLE_STRING",
"source": "Original English text",
"message": "Translated text",
"feminine": "Feminine form (optional)",
"masculine": "Masculine form (optional)"
}
The feminine/masculine fields are only present when the
translation genuinely differs by grammatical gender.
