Language definitions
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
To present different translations properly, info about language name,
|
|
text direction, plural definitions and language code is needed.
|
|
Definitions for about 350 languages are included.
|
|
|
|
.. _language-parsing-codes:
|
|
|
|
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 it into an existing language (e.g. ignoring the default country code
|
|
for a given language—choosing ``cs`` instead of ``cs_CZ``).
|
|
|
|
Should that also fail, a new language definition will be created using the defaults (left
|
|
to right text direction, one plural) and naming of the language as :guilabel:`xx_XX (generated)`.
|
|
You might want to change this in the admin interface later, (see :ref:`changing-languages`)
|
|
and report it to the issue tracker (see :ref:`contributing`).
|
|
|
|
.. hint::
|
|
|
|
In case you see something unwanted as a language, you might want to adjust
|
|
:ref:`component-language_regex` to ignore such file when parsing
|
|
translations.
|
|
|

|
Changing language definitions
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can change language definitions in the languages interface
|
|
(:file:`/languages/` URL).
|
|
|
|
While editing, make sure all fields are correct (especially plurals and
|
|
text direction), otherwise translators will be unable to properly edit
|
|
those translations.
|
|
|
|
Language definitions
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Each language consists of following fields:
|
|
|
|
.. _language-code:
|
|
|
|
Language code
|
|
+++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Code identifying the language. Weblate prefers two letter codes as defined by
|
|
`ISO 639-1 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1>`_, but uses `ISO 639-2
|
|
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-2>`_ or `ISO 639-3
|
|
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-3>`_ codes for languages that do not
|
|
have two letter code. It can also support extended codes as defined by `BCP 47
|
|
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47>`_.

.. _language-name:
|
|
|
|
Language name
|
|
+++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Visible name of the language. The language names included in Weblate are also being localized depending on user interface language.
|
|
|
|
.. _language-direction:
|
|
|
|
Text direction
|
|
++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Determines whether language is written right to left or left to right. This
|
|
properly is autodetected correctly for most of the languages.
|
|
|
|
.. _plural-number:
|
|
|
|
Plural number
|
|
+++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Number of plurals used in the language.
|
|
|
|
.. _plural-formula:
|
|
|
|
Plural formula
|
|
++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
