Translations

How to translate Miniflux to a new language?

• Translations are stored inside the directory locales
• There is sub-directory for each language, by example for french we have fr_FR, for italian it_IT etc...
• A translation is a PHP file that return an Array with a key-value pairs
• The key is the original text in english and the value is the translation for the corresponding language

French translations are always up to date (because I am french).

Create a new translation:

1. Make a new directory: locales/xx_XX by example locales/fr_CA for French Canadian
2. Create a new file for the translation: locales/xx_XX/translations.php
3. Use the content of the french locales and replace the values
4. Inside the file models/config.php, add a new entry for your translation inside the function get_languages()
5. Check with your local installation of Miniflux if everything is ok
6. Send a pull-request with Github

How to update an existing translation?

1. Open the translation file locales/xx_XX/translations.php
2. Missing translations are commented and the values are empty, just fill blank and remove comments
3. Check with your local installation of Miniflux and send a pull-request
