Hey!
In this tutorial I will teach you how to best and effectively translate your application!
All you need to translate your application is to add the translation file to Assets and that’s it!
1.The first thing we need to do is create the translation files (in json file),
I created two sample translation files:
in English: { "string1": "one", "string2": "two", "string3": "three", "string4": "Hello {username}, Welcome to the app!" }
And in Hebrew: { "string1": "אחד", "string2": "שתיים", "string3": "שלוש", "string4": "שלום {username}, ברוך הבא ליישום!" }
If you want to translate your file to a company that doesn’t work with json files, you can convert your file to csv at this site: https://json-csv.com/
And after you get the translated csv file, convert it back to the json file at this site: https://www.csvjson.com/csv2json
Then rename the file to the following name: “(app-name)-(Translation language code)-Translation”
*Note that you do not use spaces in the file name!
After we put the translation files into the application, the translation needs to be activated in the application, the following image will explain what each block does:
If there are variables in the translation (such as the use of the username), you should write the translation as follows: “Hello {Username}, welcome to the app!” And then when receiving the translation use the replacement component as follows:
Hide the screen until the translation is complete: Medium to large applications usually do a lot of processes when launching the application or opening a screen, so the translation may only be displayed after a few hundredths of a second to a few seconds (until then the original text will be displayed and not the translation). Of course it also depends on the speed of the device, but still we do not want to show any user a translation in another language - it shows a poor quality application.
So what we will do is put all the components in the vertical arrangement and hide it, we will display this layout only after completing all the processes that are done after the screen opens.
Hi @DevYB
Thank you for using FileTools
But instead of using FilesList you can use FileListFromAssets.
Also both file extensions will work similarly in apk (both can get file list from assets in apk) but TaifunFile can’t get file list from assets during live test.
Hey! Glad to see you love my explanation!
Regarding the first question: I didn’t quite understand what the question was
For the second question: The number is the number of each string, you can change the names of the strings to the text you want them to be translated.
thanks for your answer,
and sorry for my my bad description.
first question is solved, it was my fault…
second question, i´ll try to describe it better,
for “labels” and “text boxes” i find a “set block” linkage with a selecting list of all available texts to assign them to a string for translation
but since now for “Notifier text” i couldn´t find a “set block” with my notifier messages.
How can i add my 3 different messages to my blocks?
Sorry guys I’m unable to make this work, I’ve done the same and I get the message “There was a problem to get the string ‘String1’. Make sure on your side is all correct.”
Can anyone help me please ?
