Portuguese translation of API

Pedro 3 years ago • updated 3 years ago • 5

Is there any plan for translating the information into Portuguese? I saw that there are couple of other languages (Russian, Spanish, et cetera) and I think having the API translated to Portuguese could be beneficial to Brazilian Jewish community, as one of the biggest outside Israel.

I searched across github repository and found some .po files. I do not know if I can start translating and than send one .po file (to be honest I do not know exactly what those files are).

To conclude, I can be a volunteer translating to Portuguese if there is no planing or any special group doing this job, as I am a Portuguese native speaker.

Thank you for your attention and maintain hebcal,

Pedro

Hi, thanks for the generous offer! We'd love your help to offer a Portuguese transliteration.

You can use a tool like Poedit to create the translation file https://poedit.net/

We suggest you download a file like the Spanish language translation, and rename it "pt.po" and then make your edits there. Once you've finished, you can email the file to webmaster@hebcal.com and we will incorporate it into the website within a few days.

Hi Pedro, were you able to make any progress on Portuguese translation?

Thank you for the reply. I will start as soon as possible, but I have some university issues to do as the semester has already started. I downloaded poedit and I started doing some initial translations based on Spanish file.

Hi Pedro, checking in again - any chance you've been able to work on the Portuguese translation?

I am realy sorry, but I am having many problems here and I could not finish working in the translation. I do not know when I will be able to start again.

Thank you,
