Hello, AntennaPod team 🙂
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 @shuuji3 ! Welcome to the forum and thanks for contributing to AntennaPod 😃 I added Japanese language in [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/antennapod/website/).

Hi @femmdi, thank you! 😀 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. 😅
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:
> **[AntennaPod – オープンなポッドキャストプレイヤー](https://deploy-preview-363--antennapod-test.netlify.app/ja/)**
>
> AntennaPod is a podcast player that is completely open. The app is open-source and you can subscribe to any RSS feed. AntennaPod is built by volunteers without commercial intere...
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) 🙂
The ‘Contribute’ section doesn’t necessarily need to be translated.

No problem! Thank you for the update 🙂
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! 😀
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/](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 🙂
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!

@shuuji3 Could you please have a look at the last link here? [プライバシーポリシー – AntennaPod](https://antennapod.org/ja/privacy/) 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!](https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/antennapod/website/general/ja/?q=target%3A%E9%87%91%E9%8A%AD%E7%9A%84&sort_by=component%2C-priority&offset=1#history)
There was one extra space. I deleted it so the problem should be fixed now.
Thanks!

Thanks 🙂 Future changes should get released automatically once in a while
