애드온 번역

애드온을 번역하는 것은 쉽습니다.

메시지 추가하기

Under addons-l10n/en/, make a file named ADDONID.json, where ADDONID is the addon’s ID (the folder name). Write your messages that you want to translate there:

{
  "ADDONID/meow": "Meow",
  "ADDONID/cats": "{number, plural, one {1 cat} other {# cats}}",
  "ADDONID/eat": "I want to eat {food}!",
  "ADDONID/salmon": "salmon",
  "ADDONID/sardine": "sardine",
  "ADDONID/move-steps": {
    "string": "move {number} steps",
    "developer_comment": "Please translate this to match Scratch's official translation for the block."
  }
}

Placeholders

Sometimes messages need to have things that are dynamically generated. For example, number of cats, or input. To handle this, you can use placeholders like {placeholderName}. Placeholder name should only contain letters (no numbers).

Plurals

What if the placeholder is a number? We can use plurals like {placeholderName, plural, one {when there is one thing} other {when there are # things}}. If the placeholder is 1, it will show “when there is one thing”, otherwise it says “when there are (placeholder) things”.

Developer comments

Transifex will display the developer comment when a translator has selected the specified string. These comments are usually used to ask for a particular translation of the string or to provide additional information for languages that do not differentiate between uppercase and lowercase characters.

Using the translations

Change your userscript’s first line from something like:

export default async function ({ addon, console }) {

to:

export default async function ({ addon, console, msg }) {

The msg added is the function you use to get translations. For example, text = "Meow" can now be text = msg("meow"). The addon ID and the slash is omitted.

Placeholders

You can provide placeholder values:

cat = msg("cats", {number: 1}) // shows "1 cat"
cats = msg("cats", {number: 3}) // shows "3 cats"
hungry = msg("eat", {food: "cod"}) // shows "I want to eat cod!"

You can also “nest” messages:

hungry2 = msg("eat", {food: msg("salmon")}) // shows "I want to eat salmon!"

Safety

If you are writing raw HTML, msg should be replaced with safer version of safeMsg.
