I would like to contribute a translation — how?

Very welcome. Translations are the contribution that reaches the most people fastest.

How it works

1. Take the English l10n_en.xml as your template.
2. Translate the values, not the keys.
3. Watch the placeholders (%d, %s) — they have to match the English original in number and order, otherwise the line breaks in game.
4. Leave a line untranslated rather than empty.
5. Send us the file — here in the forum or as a pull request on GitHub.

What we do with it

We check every submission for well-formed XML, foreign keys, placeholders and empty values. If keys are missing because they landed after your submission, we fill them in following your style and mark that block so you can see at a glance what is not yours.

You get credited — in the changelog, in the README and on the mod page.

Portuguese (pt and br) came in this way and has shipped since 1.6.0.0.
