Managing translations / i18n / localisation

Go to the translations document on Google Drive. There is a tab “Pixwel Platform” which exports it in JSON format to a bucket on S3.

​
UI Templates

in /ui/app/partials are the templates. Here’s an example of using the translations: 
<span>
	<img src="/img/spinner-sm.gif">
	{{ 'common.loading' | t }}
</span>
The | t pipes the string ‘common.loading’ into the translate function, which uses the JSON stored on S3 and looks up the correct translation string.

​
Emails etc

Emails and API-side content is NOT translated at the time of writing and is in English only.

​
Testing for untranslated strings

See /utils/i18n-checks/check.php for a utility that can go through the JSON and check for:
  • Missing translations (including the case where it’s simply been copy-pasted from English).
  • Cases where in the template the developer has referred to a translation string that is not in the spreadsheet
