RaccoonForLemmy is being translated into 39 languages using Weblate. Join the translation or start translating your own project.

Ciao everyone, recently I was asked on the GitHub discussions section of the repository whether it would be possible to host translations on Weblate in order to crowdsource the effort of localization. I had created that thread myself a lot of time ago and forgot about it as it had no interactions. But that user was right, the translation into their language was of poor quality and in my opinion all users deserve to use the app in their native language and have a good experience with it.

I decided then to move all the resources to Weblate and see if anyone wants to help out. Feel free to add languages, be them national, regional, or even constructed languages, because for me they matter too and, in case you didn’t notice, Raccoon is available also in Esperanto and Toki Pona.

I hope you like this initiative and, as always, thanks for your suggestions, ideas, contributions and support.

    If you are using a seperate library, it should work, and you got toki pona to work which has the same problem.

    Could you suggest me something in Pirate English to have a try (e.g. some item in the settings screen like “Language”), before creating anything on Weblate?

    I don’t get what you are asking here, can you elaborate?

      Yes I am confident that it may work… I just need a replacement for some UI element like, say, the “Language” item in the settings screen to see if the changes are applied. Or the bottom bar “Posts, Explore, Profile, Inbox, Settings” labels.
