Information about the translation integration process

[Altay]

Hello,

I'm curious about when and how the Turkish translations we make via Transifex get integrated into the game. Are translations merged on a specific release cycle, or updated instantly? I'd appreciate it if anyone with knowledge on this could share some information.

Thanks!

Updates to the translations get integrated whenever a new version of 0ad gets released.

Once we start the release process, we'll publish multiple release candidates, translators like you can use to check if the translations look fine in the game and give you the chance to polish the translations.

The start of the release process will be announced via a notification on Transifex, as well as in the "Announcements / News" subforum here.

If you're eager to try out the translation before, you can either compile the current development state of the game yourself or, if you're using Windows, use the nightly build: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/NightlyBuild

Thanks for the info! I've noticed there are quite a few parts waiting for approval (other than the ones I translated myself), and they all seem to be translated correctly.

Quick question — how can I join the team that reviews/approves translations (specifically for Turkish)? Would love to help out with that too if possible.

Thanks!

Right now we don't care if strings are approved or not, we take whatever we can get (we obviously filter for vandalism though).

The best way would be to get in touch with one of the language coordinators (https://app.transifex.com/wildfire-games/teams/17418/tr/). If they aren't responsive, let me know and we'll find another way.
