Help make ShroudForge available to players worldwide. Edit translations in Fink or submit your changes as a pull request on GitHub.

== Translate with Fink == <!--T:2-->

<!--T:3-->
Open the [https://fink.inlang.com/?repo=bonsaibauer/shroudforge&project=modules/ui-resources/project.inlang Fink editor for ShroudForge]. Fink shows the English source text beside its translations. The language files stay in the repository. Fink does not keep a second synced copy in a translation service.

<!--T:4-->
Choose the project and branch in the editor. Review a message, edit its translation and check the result. Fink first saves your work as a draft in your browser. You need a GitHub account to save changes to GitHub.

== Send changes as a pull request == <!--T:5-->

<!--T:6-->
If the default branch is protected, create a translation branch on GitHub first. Open that branch in Fink and push your changes there. Then create a pull request so the changes can be reviewed before they are merged. Fink does not create branches for you.

<!--T:7-->
If you cannot write to the ShroudForge repository, use Fink's fork flow. Install the Inlang GitHub App on your account, push the changes to your fork, then open a pull request. Fink opens GitHub's pull request page. Review and submit the pull request there.

<!--T:8-->
The [https://github.com/bonsaibauer/shroudforge/pulls ShroudForge pull request list] shows open translation contributions and their review status. See the [https://fink.inlang.com/docs/branches-forks-and-pull-requests Fink guide to branches and pull requests] for more details.

== Edit the translation files directly == <!--T:9-->

<!--T:10-->
You can also change the JSON files under <code>modules/ui-resources/locales/</code> and create a pull request in the repository. Keep the same keys as the English source file <code>en-GB.json</code>. Do not rename placeholders such as <code>&#123;count&#125;</code>. Their names must stay exactly the same in each translation.

<!--T:11-->
Before opening a pull request, you can check the locale files:

<!--T:12-->
<pre>
cd modules/modloader/ui
npm run locale:check
</pre>

<!--T:13-->
The Fink project file <code>modules/ui-resources/project.inlang/settings.json</code> connects the editor to these catalogs. The example link above opens that project. If you use a different editor URL later, update it in this article link and in the SVG illustration.
