Metadata translations - question

[Martha]

Hi,

There are a couple of languages possible to choose from in the user preferences. We would like to add some more for our users, and already found in File Management the 'translations' folder, where we can add a new folder with the respective translations. Then we adjusted the language name in the settings.json, and it seems to work.

However, there is this JSON folder, containing more translations, but no english version. Is there an english version of the files therein that we can use as master? or are they not in use anymore?

Thanks in advance for any insights,

Martha

Hi @Martha,

Great question. There is not an English translation file, it is hardcoded into the program. What would you like to use an English master file for?

[Martha]

As already mentioned, we need to translate all the metadata into even more languages for our non-english speaking users. And it is a bit more intuitive to translate from English, than from e.g. German or French, which are already translated themselves.

But good to know, that there is no english master file, we will make do with any of the other files then.

Thanks!
