Might you be able to help with French translation @bidouilleur? Would anyone else be willing to help submit a translation?
@JumpMaster Am I correct in assuming that all text in strings.xml needs to be translated? Will we have multiple strings.xml files for each language?
will translate for sure to french and then to dutch.
Will need some time though as I have multiple other things in life 
will make me a git account and translate over there ⊠any particular way to do it to be complied with auto updates etc ?
first try for a french translation though I wonder if it will be handy since emoncms is not translated (or am I wrong ?)
canât upload it to github as I donât have push clearance so it will be here as is
think some strings donât need translation ?
Guess some strings will need some rework to fit in space etc âŠ
So this will be version B1

Great work! Iâve added the comment // TRANSLATABLE to strings.xml to show what section needs to be translated.
Iâll take a look at adding the French translation.
Nice work!
Emoncms core does support French and a few other languages, the translations can be viewed here:
Currently the My Electric and MySolarPV module do not have a translation. This is something we can now add since the apps are now stable (development wise).
That doesnât sound very French 
Paul
Will cross check now with site translations, try to use the same words (newbies will never find their way)
@Paul : indeed but not to sure what the meaning of this string is ⊠was one of the things I needed to understand for a proper translation. As said the one published yesterday is to consider beta1
Will try to finish it for this week end latest.
Perhaps @glyn.hudson or @JumpMaster can advise if this phrase is relevant for translation.
Paul
Iâll need to check. The recent addition of barcode scanning was a copy/paste of Google example with everything unecessary stripped out. If a phone doesnât have the Google Play APIs it will download them and show that message if theyâre unavailable. I havenât been able to test that though as all of my phones have the Play store installed.
version 2 based on version 1.3 of strings
I let line 31 : <string name="importing_label">IMPORTATION</string>

</resources>Hereâs a first go. Needs some work. It also shows how bad Iâve been hard coding strings. I will post some further parts to be translated in the morning.
Let me know what needs changing.
Kev
installed it and mmm needs some tweaking
all depends what will be done, exemple the âpuissance actuelle utilisation journaliĂšreâ overflows
I can try to use shorter words but will be hard, you might use a smaller font size
Combination of both might solve it ⊠but on smaller screens ??
also the submenu strings are missing and were not translated
In landscape mode a negative bar pushes the number in the day letter
Hello,
I will translate also to Brazilian Portuguese, just have to check how to use/contribute with the Git⊠Can someone point me where can I find the locale for EmonCMS too? Thanks.
Will keep posted
Sorry for reviving this old thread, but, i am wondering, as i am no developer and canât help on programing because of that, if you need a translation to Portuguese (PT-PT) language on emoncms android app (at least for now)? I am not a very skilled translator but i think i can handle it.
Hi @CelsoHenriques, no problem, thanks for your kind offer.
For us to create a Portuguese translation you will need to help us create a Portuguese strings.xml file. You, donât need to do any programming, we can handle that. See examples of French, German and Italian translation in the app/src/main/res/values-xx folder. Here is the example of the french translation:
If you want to go ahead please post a copy of strings.xml on this thread with Portuguese translations. I can then create a beta version of the app for you to install and test the translations live in the app.
Thanks!
I will start on it this weekend.
Its very good to have those examples as it make it even more easy, because i can compare if i am translating the correct words.
I will update the thread with a new file once it is done.
Thanks!
I copy the text and created a file with the new text translated.
Edit: found that was missing more text.
I will post it when finished.
By the way, where i can get the original english file?
Done.
tradução emoncmsv1.1.txt (7.8 KB)
Here:
Thanks, Iâll get a beta version of the up in the play store with the Portuguese translation. Please sign up via the play store to become a beta tester.
Thanks!
I will install it and see if everything is good.
Best regards,
Celso
