Steps:

  • If the language file you need doesn't exist yet, ask us or submit a bug report to add a blank translation file
  • Go directly to source file
  • Changing translation string
  • Propose changes

Go directly to source file

On the Locales source page select your language from the directories and select default.po. From here select the pen-shaped Edit button on the top right, alter in-browser as you see fit.

Changing translation string

The top of the file has some header data, after which you will see lines starting with msgid followed by lines starting with msgstr. Leave the msgid as is and the msgstr directly afterwards should be changed to the translated string for that word or phrase.

Propose changes

Afterwards scroll to the bottom, write a description of the change and select Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request. and then Propose Changes
