   1 # Translation
   2
   3 We use [Weblate](https://weblate.org) as translation platform.
   4 Please do not edit translation files directly from Git, you have to use Weblate!
   5
   6 If you don't see your locale in the platform you can add it directly in the Weblate interface.
   7 Then, if you think there are enough translated strings, please [create an issue](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues) so we add the new locale in PeerTube!

  19 ## Files
  20
  21 There are 4 files:
  22  * **angular**: contains client strings
  23  * **player**: contains player strings.
  24  Most of the strings come from VideoJS, so you can help yourself by using [video.js JSON files](https://github.com/videojs/video.js/tree/master/lang)
  25  * **server**: contains server strings (privacies, licences...) and iso639 (languages) strings used by PeerTube to describe the audio language of a particular video.
  26  It's the reason why these strings should be translated too. There are many strings so do not hesitate to translate only main audio languages.

  29 ## Tips
  30
  31 ### Special tags
  32
  33 You must not translate special tags like `<x id="INTERPOLATION" ... />`.
  34
  35 For example:
  36 ```<x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ video.publishedAt | myFromNow }}"/> - <x id="INTERPOLATION_1" equiv-text="{{ video.views | myNumberFormatter }}"/> views```
  37
  38 should be in french
  39 ```<x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ video.publishedAt | myFromNow }}"/> - <x id="INTERPOLATION_1" equiv-text="{{ video.views | myNumberFormatter }}"/> vues```

  41
  42 ### Singular/plural
  43
  44 For singular/plural translations, you must translate values inside `{` and `}`. **Please don't translate the word *other***
  45
  46 For example:
  47
  48 ```{VAR_PLURAL, plural, =0 {No videos} =1 {1 video} other {<x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ playlist.videosLength }}"/> videos} }```
  49
  50 should be in french
  51
  52 ```{VAR_PLURAL, plural, =0 {Aucune vidéo} =1 {1 vidéo} other {<x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ playlist.videosLength }}"/> vidéos} }```
