🥇 Hacktoberfest: Add language translation for symbol files #2

btk · 2017-10-06T22:37:48Z

Hello!

This app is an open source project, I work on my free time. And the app is published in google play. It is totally free. Basically what this app does is; lists bunch of symbols and people with autism use this app to communicate with their surroundings.

That symbols triggers TTS on press.

But since most of the people with autism can only understand their native language, it is really important for this app to support multiple languages.

If you are a bilingual and want to contribute to this app, you can submit your translations of this app's symbol data.

How To Submit A Translation?

For this project
Duplicate file /data/card_en.json with your language code (eg: /data/card_es.json)
Start translating the cards.

Only translate the title and phrase properties, other properties are used for symbol images etc.

	{
		"type": "card",
		"title": "Grandparents",
		"slug": "grandparents",
		"parents": [
			"people"
		],
		"phrases": [
			{
				"symbol": "hand",
				"phrase": "I love my grandparents"
			},
			{
				"symbol": "hand",
				"phrase": "I want to see my grandparents"
			}
		]
	}

So the properties needed to be translated are these;

	{
		"type": "card",
		"title": "**TRANSLATE_THIS**",
		"slug": "grandparents",
		"parents": [
			"people"
		],
		"phrases": [
			{
				"symbol": "hand",
				"phrase": "**TRANSLATE_THIS**"
			},
			{
				"symbol": "hand",
				"phrase": "**TRANSLATE_THIS**"
			}
		]
	}

I translated English to Turkish and it usually takes about 10 minutes if you are fast at typing :) Think of the people using this app will appreciate you! And also get your hacktoberfest credits in 👍

i'll do for Portuguese (Brazil) can i use card_pt-br.json?

btk · 2017-10-06T23:00:37Z

@rafa-acioly yes, sure; I think we also actually do others in that format tho, we can use like this;

card_en_US.json
card_pt_BR.json
card_tr_TR.json
card_en_AU.json
...

Thank you I'm adding you

rafa-acioly · 2017-10-06T23:21:51Z

@btk the first phrase is an affirmation and the second is a question?

example:

{
    "symbol": "hand",
    "phrase": "I don't want to drink water"
},
{
    "symbol": "hand",
    "phrase": "Do you want to drink water"
},

btk · 2017-10-06T23:23:54Z

@rafa-acioly in this case, yes but not usually. So using english version as blue print would be better.

rafa-acioly · 2017-10-06T23:25:51Z

@btk i was thinking to use a question mark at the end like:
Do you want to drink water: Você quer beber água?

btk · 2017-10-06T23:27:29Z

@rafa-acioly yes it is totally ok. Actually in english version question mark is missing in mistake probably.

codesue · 2017-10-07T00:39:58Z

i've correcting for indonesian language, please check it @btk

jainnidhi703 · 2017-10-07T18:24:17Z

I can do Hindi translation.

sophiekoonin · 2017-10-14T16:34:39Z

@btk there is also a small problem of gender - Spanish has different adjective endings for male and female. So while a man might be enfadado, I would be enfadada (angry). I have been putting enfadado/a but I realise this may be confusing for kids. What should I use?

btk · 2017-10-14T18:18:19Z

@sophiekoonin Again I'm not really sure, we did use slash for some languages (i guess portuguese) but since there is a lot of words like that. You should use the male one. Because %80 percent of kids with autism are boys.

That makes me think we need to implement a gender specific way for locale language data.

sophiekoonin · 2017-10-15T09:37:22Z

@btk Something to think about for the future!

I am also happy to proof-read the English one if you like, I spotted a couple of non-native expressions that sounded a bit strange.

btk · 2017-10-15T11:46:45Z

@sophiekoonin That would be great, I prepared the English one and I'm not a native speaker. Also some other contributors fixes some of the mistakes, but I guess there still some exist.

Would be great if you can check it out.

nikitakorba · 2017-10-15T22:54:56Z

I can try to translate this to ukrainian

btk · 2017-10-15T23:02:51Z

@nikitakorba That's great, I'm adding you. If you have any problem or question you can ask it here.

Thanks.

btk · 2017-10-16T21:08:43Z

@rafa-acioly @aaronmak @romainwn @darrylsepeda @viettrung9012 @oscodeproject @Wachiwi @verginer @boccob @utkarsh-shekhar @rootEnginear @Hejty @sophiekoonin @nikitakorba

Hey everyone, thank you all for your contribution. Addition to that, another AAC project has a similar task for checking the machine translation. Since there is over 10 people with different native languages, it would be really helpful if you like to check their translations.

Link to issue: cboard-org/cboard#89

PS: Also the mentioned repository also has Hacktoberfest 🥇 tag.

wkillerud · 2017-10-17T18:47:51Z

romainlq · 2017-10-28T15:24:47Z

Hi @btk , maybe I'll get more success here, could you take a look at #16 ? I think it would be great if we all could see the work you have done on this app, on our phones with a link on the Google play store !

btk · 2017-10-28T15:26:36Z

@romainwn there is a google play link at the OP post of this issue.
