How to help us translate VRidge

Join as translator and contribute to our translation effort. You can do so by following this link https://crowdin.com/project/riftcat or pressing the button below:
Instructions
We are using CrowdIn translation platform. When you will visit the website you will see a list of languages that we are currently translating into.


Select the language that you would like to translate and you will see available files list. It will show you the overall progress of the translation effort. If you want to start quickly, not minding the file that you are going to work on - simply press “Translate All” button.


After choosing “Translate All” or any other translation file you will be prompted to log in. Creating an account at CrowdIn is completely free.

After your login, you will see the translation dashboard. On the left side, you will see the translation strings - they represent various texts across the VRidge app and it’s ecosystem. 


You can filter them out by pressing the filter button. On default - the system will show you the translations strings that are not yet translated so you can start right away. You can also see already translated string and provide proofreading.


The middle of the screen is the place where all the translation takes place. You will see the original english text at the top. A lot of the strings will contain a screenshot which will hint you where is the translated text placed.

You can simply type your translation into the “Enter translation here” field. By pressing “Save” button you will submit it for approval.

At the bottom you can see some automated suggestions and see how the string looks like in other languages translations.


And finally - on the right side you can type in your own comments to the translated string to provide information and communicate with other translators.

Final words
If you wonder why there is no Polish language available - it’s because we are a polish company and we got it covered :)

Don’t worry if there is no way to fit the translation in the same space as original text. We will evaluate all translations within VRidge to see if they fit - we will adjust the UI accordingly.

Thank you for helping us!

    I can translate it all to romanian by myself but i would want a premium key for that. Just as Eeprom said, this should be a give and take.

    You got a translation for free and I get what? is give and take! After all, you sell your product! pay for the services provided and do not ask for help, because you are not giving anything for free! Shame on you...

      There are two approaches to this:
      1. We buy the translations from professional services.
      2. We ask our community to help with translations.

      We decided to go with second scenario. The reason for that is - if we would go with professional translation service then it would not be feasible to do translations for small countries.

      With community translations we can go for every language there is. Because there will not be a huge upkeep cost of it. This way we'll be able to make VR accessible to everyone and not just several, the biggest countries.

    I know some people are saying that they should get paid, but me? I am actually a translator and get paid for that. However, this is also a hobby of mine that I do for fun even when I am not working. For me, the joy of helping you is what I get out of it. But even so, I don't really expect to get anything, you asked for help and people are willingly volunteering. I see no problem with that ^_^ I would be more than glad to help out ^_^

    All in this life cost a thing, translations, time, sowftware... If you wanna a translation (even for a small countries) you have to pay, this is life, and if I want you software I have to pay... When it'll be free ask again to the community.

    I can do in italian for free to help this small team to continue their job. We have to understand that if they will pay a service to translate the software than the price will be raised...I''ll be agree if we have to translate a huge software with hundred of lines but for a couple of them I'll choice to help them...but this is just my opinion.

    I think translators should get a key for Riftcat Software. Afterall we are working here for you guys. And giving keys shouldn't cost much for a company like this.

    This is not open source software.
    You make revenue.

    Asking for free translation from a community which is already supporting you financially, without offering a small gesture in return is simply rude. (eg key/discount/formal acknowledgement)

    Linux, Blender, Firefox - these are projects which should be translated for free.

    And guess what - it already happened.

    If you want to offer your services for a good cause, there are much nobler causes than a company which does not respect its community enough to offer a simple gesture in return.

    Sorry to say but 14.99 EUR is not a accessible price in a big or small country.

      Yep.
      Unfortunately this is true.
      €14.99 is 1/9 minimum salary here.
