Wouldn’t it be great if you could use SourceTree for Windows in your own language? We have a couple of translations in SourceTree for Mac (Japanese and French), but so far for Windows we’ve only supported English. Today, we’re asking you to help us fix that.
Translate SourceTree for Windows to your Language
We don’t speak anywhere near as many languages as we’d like to, and the Babel Fish sadly remains a fictional creature, so we need the help of native language speakers to make this happen. You can contribute your translations to the SourceTree for Windows Translation Project – signing up is easy, and you can get started in no time.
We’ve added a selection of languages we’d like to support initially, but we may add more later depending on demand;
- Chinese
- French
- German
- Japanese
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Spanish
- Spanish (Latin)
If you’re a speaker of one of those languages, please sign up with Transifex, click a language, and start translating! You can also vote on existing translated strings if someone else got there first.
There are two sets of strings for SourceTree for Windows: ‘Labels’ which (unsurprisingly) are mostly about labels in screens, and ‘Messages’ which are mostly longer messages displayed in dialogs. When you’re translating, if you see placeholders like {0} and {1}, these are variable pieces of text such as file names or branch names which are added at run-time, so please make sure you add those placeholders in to your translation too.
Thanks for helping us get SourceTree translated into your language. Look for the i18n release during the first part of 2014 to help bring in the new year!
