How to submit a translation?
I'm sorry if this is covered here somewhere, I just couldn't find a proper explanation.
Where/how do I submit a new translation?
My Afrikaans translation is complete for most (80-99%) of the system modules and for some of the applications (20-40%), so it is usable, and I would love it if people could download it, test it and give me feedback.
I have also found a display issue, as the letter "ê" displays as a box in basically all menus (It is part of the translation for "File", so everywhere you would click "File" on the menu). Anyone know if this is a known issue, or if I should log a new JIRA ticket?

Most impressed you have done so much with your translation - when complete the next step would be those Zulu translations - then you'd have an o/s for Africa! Well, southern Africa. Imagine that, an o/s for Africa - you had better get cracking, Xhosa, Shona, Swati.

Re: How to submit a translation?
To properly answer your question:
1. Fork Reactos on github
2. Create a branch in your fork where you commit your changes
3. Create a pull request
4. Wait for merging or do eventually requested changes
You should have correctly configured git with your real name and reactos repo as remote.
For the found bug you should create a JIRA issue

Translating is amazing, maybe, if you don't like to use git, you always can submit a patch to a jira report and wait for someone to merge it on headkolle_hond wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 7:56 am I'm sorry if this is covered here somewhere, I just couldn't find a proper explanation.

Re: How to submit a translation?
I'd beg to differ. Nowadays JIRA is only used for bug reports and not for patch submissions like before when ReactOS repository was hosted on a Subversion. You won't expect immediate action by the developers on your patch in JIRA as you see in GitHub.Julcar wrote:Translating is amazing, maybe, if you don't like to use git, you always can submit a patch to a jira report and wait for someone to merge it on head
@kolle_hond: gonzoMD's post should suffice your request. Make sure you do create a GitHub account before proceeding with the steps. Git command lines is a must to understand the basics of Git. TortoiseGit is also a very nice option for total beginners.

Note to other first-time users, "pull request" is NOT the same as "git pull". Apologies to the developers who had to point that out to me.
Hopefully I will have my branch in my fork updated with the translations soon.

Basically, Pull Request is requesting the repository maintainers to do "git pull" from your branch or fork.kolle_hond wrote: ↑Tue Aug 07, 2018 3:43 pmNote to other first-time users, "pull request" is NOT the same as "git pull".
There is also a simple tutorial about Pull Requests: https://reactos.org/wiki/Commiting_Changes

Re: How to submit a translation?
There is still one thing I can't figure out: How do I get the latest updates from reactos:master to write to my fork? Is there a way for the fork to pull the updates automatically?

Code: Select all
git remote -v
which means, you will refer to the original reactos:master via the name "upstream" (if nothing of the sort exists in the returned list, please read https://help.github.com/articles/config ... or-a-fork/ ).
Now, when you are in some branch of your fork, run the following commands:
Code: Select all
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
Code: Select all
git push --force-with-lease
