Languages
Translate the whole panel in the browser or with JSON files. German and French are included.
Appearance → Languages turns translations on. Users then pick their language from a dropdown with flags in the panel.
German and French come built in. Add any other language and translate it yourself.
Translate
- In the browser: open a language and edit the strings one by one. A search finds a text quickly.
- Collect while browsing: turn it on, click through the panel, and every text you pass is added to the list, also from other extensions.
- JSON: download a language as a JSON file, translate it anywhere (or send it to a translator), and upload it again.
Strings you did not translate fall back to English.
Default language
Set the language new users get. Users can always change their own.
Who may do what
The Roles system splits this into three permissions:
| Permission | Allows |
|---|---|
stratum.languages.view | See languages, download JSON files |
stratum.languages.translate | Edit strings, upload JSON, collect strings |
stratum.languages.manage | Turn translations on, add and delete languages, set the default |
Suggestions
Give a community translator only stratum.languages.translate. They can work on the texts without seeing anything else of the admin area.
