Translation

Zrythm is available for translation at Weblate.

The Zrythm translation project contains the translations for the Zrythm program, the website, the accounts site, and sections of this manual.

Click on the project you wish to work on, and then select a language in the screen that follows. For more information on using Weblate, please see the official documentation.

Gợi ý

Zrythm contains terminology similar to existing audio software. You may find it useful to borrow terms from them. See the Cubase Pro Artist manual for example (replace fr in the URL with your language code).

User Manual

When translating the user manual, please make sure you follow the following Sphinx/RST syntax, to avoid errors when applying your translations.

General Syntax

When you see something inside :, such as :term:, it should be left untranslated. The part following should be left untranslated as well. For example:

A plugin has parameters (see :term:`Parameter`).

should be translated in French as

Un plugin a des paramètres (:term:`Parameter`).

This is because this value will replaced automatically by Sphinx with the translation for Parameter. The only exception to this rule is when you see the <> characters. For example:

A plugin has :term:`parameters <Parameter>`.

should be translated in French as

Un plugin a des :term:`paramètres <Parameter>`.

Quan trọng

Please make sure you do not insert or remove spaces. The following examples will cause errors.

:term: `Parameter`
      ^ space
: term:`Parameter`
 ^ space
:term :`Parameter`
     ^ space

Also, there should be space, comma or period after such syntax, like below.

:term:`Parameter` other information
:term:`Parameter`, other information
:term:`Parameter`. Other information

The following examples will cause errors.

:term:`Parameter`other information
                 ^ missing space/punctuation

Ghi chú

The following syntax usually refers to a path, so please keep it unchanged, otherwise the file it refers to will not be found.

:doc:`../../example`
