Request to add the language Japanese on Weblate

Translations
1

Hello, AntennaPod team :slight_smile:

I recently found AntennaPod during migration from the sunsetting Google Podcast and love it!

I’d like to contribute a Japanese translation of the website. Could you add it as a new language on Weblate? I have experience with translations for various applications/libraries so I’m familiar with the usage of Weblate too.

Japanese translation for the app strings has already reached 100% so I want to expand Japanese coverage further.

Thanks!

Hi @femmdi, thank you! :grinning: I confirmed that now and I’m going to translate it in my spare time.

If I may give one tip: start with the Documentation; that’s the most important but also probably the annoying/longer part.

Hello, I finished the “Documentation” and “AntennaPod glossary” translations two months ago but forgot to report it here. :sweat_smile:

Could you deploy the Japanese translation to the website (or preview page if any)?

Thank you!

Hi @shuuji3
Apologies for the late reply. I’ve just created a PR for adding Japanese to the website, so that we get a preview that we can check:

To make it look nice & complete, the ‘short strings’ and ‘general’ components need to be translated as well. But those are much less work than the documentation (25% of the words) :slight_smile:

The ‘Contribute’ section doesn’t necessarily need to be translated.

No problem! Thank you for the update :slightly_smiling_face:

I see. I’ll translate the remaining strings and let you know once it’s finished.

Hi, @keunes

I’ve finally completed the Japanese translation of “Documentation”, “General”, and “short strings” and I believe it’s ready to publish now! :grinning:

There are three untranslated strings in “Short strings” but those are empty strings and I couldn’t mark them translated (I also put comments about that). So they should be able to be ignored.

Hi @shuuji3! So sorry for the late reply. Our translation coordinator recently left AntennaPod, so translation management is a bit delayed right now. I just updated the preview with you latest translations:

https://deploy-preview-363--antennapod-test.netlify.app/ja/

The most important part on the main website pages is that it sounds good. So you don’t have to translate literally. Could you please do a final check before we make it public?

Hi, no problem! I understand :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve reviewed the preview pages, and I think it’s ready to publish. I could translate the remaining untranslated documentation when I have spare time in the future. Thanks for all your efforts!

Thanks a lot for reviewing! The Japanese translation is now live :tada: antennapod.org/ja/

@shuuji3 Could you please have a look at the last link here? プライバシーポリシー – AntennaPod There seems to be something broken in the translation of the link. It works in other languages.

@ByteHamster Hi, I just found a tiny typo in the translation here: Making sure you're not a bot!

There was one extra space. I deleted it so the problem should be fixed now.

Thanks!

Thanks :slight_smile: Future changes should get released automatically once in a while
