Problem/Motivation

farmOS community members have already begun experimenting with translating farmOS in 1.x, using the various contrib modules available for Drupal 7. Drupal 8 incorporated many of those features into core, and I would like to make localization a core component/consideration in farmOS 2.x moving forward.

Update: this issue is intended for tracking specific development tasks. For general discussion and strategy for the farmOS 2.x translation initiative, we have an official forum topic: https://farmos.discourse.group/t/farmos-2-0-translation-initiative/922

Remaining tasks

  • Documentation
    • How to contribute translations (docs/development/localization.md)
    • How to host localized farmOS (docs/hosting/localization.md)
  • Review strings to be sure we aren't going to make any major changes before translations are contributed.
  • Consider how to use translations in Field Kit: https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS-client/issues/214
  • ... (TBD)

Updated issue description to link to the forum topic for general discussion: https://farmos.discourse.group/t/farmos-2-0-translation-initiative/922

And split the documentation task into development vs hosting.

Some discussion/debugging happening in https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/472

Major step forward! We just merged the new farmOS Localization module from this PR: https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/pull/475

This includes: #3257430: Do not allow the default language to be changed from English

See those two links as well as https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/472 for more details/discussion.

I think the only remaining todo for this is to document how to contribute translations. Beyond that there will be an ongoing process of adding translations and fixing minor issues with code/config to make things translatable (eg: https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/pull/477, https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/476, etc) but those can be tackled as they come up.

I think we can remove the "stable blocker" tag from this. Things are happening - and they don't need to block a 2.0.0 release IMO.

Closing this as "outdated". Work continues slow and steady...
