Daily Dozen Localization

The nutritionfactsorg/daily-dozen-localization repository supports the language translation work for the Daily Dozen applications on Android and Apple devices.

A Daily Dozen App Localization QuickStart Guide is located in the documentation folder at Documentation/Quickstart.md. The guide is intended to provide a process that is approachable by contributors without software development expertise. For example, it is sufficient to download, edit and submit a single file without creating a local clone or online fork of the git repository.

Additionally, if you are interested to help create translated subtitles for NutritionFacts.org videos and help the NutritionFacts.org information reach more people all over the world, you can apply to be part of the Volunteer Translator Team at https://nutritionfacts.org/volunteer.

Localization Workflow ^▴

Here is an overview of the general workflow for working with the TSV spreadsheet files. Please see the Daily Dozen App Localization QuickStart Guide for more detailed steps: Documentation/Quickstart.md.

Phase 1. Export. The Android and Apple exported localization files are merged into a spreadsheet compatible Tab Separated Value (TSV) files.

Phase 2. Translation. The Tab Separated Value (TSV) format can be conveniently imported and exported with various popular spreadsheet programs for the translators' use.

Data in field columns with have header names which begin with key_ or base_ are not to be translated. In particular, the key_android, key_apple entries are used for mapping values back into the device specific localization files.

The base_comment provides translation guidance in the development language (English).

The columns which begin with lang_ are to be translated.

Extra columns can be added for the translators' convenience. The extra column names should not begin with key_, base_ or lang_. Any extra columns will be ignored upon import back into the device specific formats.

Phase 3. Import. The completed TSV files are used to generate Android and Apple localization import files.
