Language definitions
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
To properly present different translations, Weblate needs some
|
|
info about languages used. Currently definitions for
|
|
about 350 languages are included, and the definition includes
|
|
language name, text direction, plural definitions and language code.
|
|
|
|
Parsing language codes
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
While parsing translations, Weblate attempts to map language code
|
|
(usually the ISO 639-1 one) to any existing language object.
|
|
If no exact match can be found, an attempt will be made
|
|
to best fit into an existing language (e.g. ignoring default country code
|
|
for a given language - choosing ``cs`` instead of ``cs_CZ``).
|
|
Should also fail, a new language definition will be created using the defaults (left
|
|
to right text direction, one plural) and naming of the language :guilabel:``xx_XX (generated)``.
|
|
You might want to change this in the admin interface (see :ref:`changing-languages`)
|
|
and report it to the issue tracker (see :ref:`contributing`).

Changing language definitions
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can change language definitions in the admin interface (see
|
|
:ref:`admin-interface`). The :guilabel:`Weblate languages` section
|
|
allows changing or adding language definitions. While editing, make sure
|
|
all fields are correct (especially plurals and text direction), otherwise
|
|
translators be unable to properly edit those translations.
