Contributing to Skylight Translations (Localization)

If you're able to help translate Skylight into your native language, please get in touch and we'll send you a PO file that you can edit and send back to us.

What you need to do:

• Download PO file from here default.po

• Download and install PoEdit

• Open the PO file in PoEdit
• Edit the settings in Catalog > Settings...

• Our default PO file is set up for languages with two plural forms (e.g. English) if your language has more plural forms you need to set the "Plural Forms" field differently.

  • Two plural forms (e.g. English): nplurals=2; plural=n == 1 ? 0 : 1;
  • Two forms, singular used for zero and one (e.g. French): nplurals=2; plural=n>1;
  • One plural form (e.g. Japanese): nplurals=1; plural=0;
  • More examples here
  • Setting the above correctly will cause PoEdit to show you several boxes for strings that have pluralisation enabled (only a few in Skylight at the moment).
• Use PoEdit to translate as many strings as you can
• Send the file back to us, letting us know your language (and country, if you have any country-specific translations)

We'll then check it over and include it as quickly as possible!
