What it does
Translating H5P the “normal way” requires some technical skills:
- You need basic knowledge of the JSON file format.
- You must know how to work with Git and GitHub.
- You have to understand how and where H5P stores its translation.
And even for people who know all this, translating H5P offers other challenges:
- If there already is a translation of a string, it’s not easy to find the English source string.
- The distributed nature of content types introduces a risk of translations becoming inconsistent.
- It can be cumbersome to check out and update dozens of libraries with Git.
- It’s easy to inadvertently introduce formatting mistakes that break a translation’s file structure.
- You are not notified of strings that need translations.
This site solves all of these problems, by offering an instance of Weblate, an open-source translation application, to help members of the community translate the libraries of H5P. Everyone can contribute by adding or improving the user interface of H5P. You don’t need lots of technical knowledge to get started - simply register at this site and start making suggestions!
How it works
All translations entered on this site are automatically submitted to the H5P maintainers, who can accept them to become part of their code:
As a translator, you don’t have to worry about all the parts on the right. You will only work with the simple, non-technical user interface of “Translate H5P” without having to worry about what this does in the code!
