Help translate Traintastic - make it available in your language

Hi everyone,

Traintastic is starting to speak more languages!
Right now we already have translations for:

Language Maintainers
:netherlands: Dutch @reinder, @PrinceofNaxos
:france: French
:frisian: Frisian @reinder
:germany: German @kamil00110
:italy: Italian @gfgit
:poland: Polish @kamil00110
:spain: Spanish
:sweden: Swedish @PrinceofNaxos

We’d love to expand this list and improve the existing translations.

You don’t need to be a developer to contribute!

There are two ways to help:

  1. Easiest: Use our web-based translation platform on POEditor.
    (No technical skills required, just a browser.)
  2. For developers: If you’re comfortable with GitHub and JSON, you can fork the repo, edit the translation files, and send a pull request.

Every bit of help makes a difference — even checking and correcting existing translations.

If you’d like to help:

  • Post here which language you want to work on, and
  • Choose your preferred method (POEditor or GitHub).

Together we can make Traintastic accessible to model railroaders around the world!

Hi I’m new here. I worked recently on decoding the functions of the Märklin Interface 6050/6051 and 6023/6223 and wanted to helf to add support for it to some open souce softwares. But first i need to fully understand the software. Then I saw that help in Translation is an thouth that I could help. I speak Polish and German fluently and would like to help with POEditor to refine the German translation and help to create a Polish one.

Hi!

Welcome to the forum!

I really appreciate that you want to contribute :slight_smile: I’ll add you at POEditor, for German and Polish.

Support for the Märklin 6051 is also missing, see Märklin 6050 / P50X support · Issue #182 · traintastic/traintastic · GitHub.
There isn’t much documentation on the Traintastic internals yet, so please ask your questions :slight_smile:

Best regards,
Reinder

p.s. The current German translation is translated by DeepL, so improvements are welcome.

Many thanks for checking and completing the German translation! I’ve updated the language files, see commit, test build is available @ Traintastic development builds

Once the Polish translation is (almost) complete, I’ll add it.

:waving_hand: Im curently double checking every translation in the software and found out that the license agreement in the setup is not translated.

That’s correct, if there is a official GPLv2 translation, then we can it. Because it is a legal document we cannot just create our own translation.

I didn’t check yet how other open source project do this.

I’m currently working on the final bits for the Traintastic v0.3 “Copenhagen” release, try to have it ready before Christmas :christmas_tree:. It would be nice if we can ship it with a 100% translation of all languages :slight_smile:

Many thanks in advance!!
