Summary

The "official" collection of human-readable translations of FISSION Codes.

From a technical perspective, there is nothing special about these translations. Anyone can write, deploy, and use a translation of their own creation without using this repo.

Our curated collection of translations is always evolving. Please see ./contracts/localizations/ for a complete list.

Motivation

Having culturally and linguistically accurate translations is an important and necessary goal for Ethereum. The current state-of-the-art involves providing end users with hard-coded messaging (typically in English). This approach serves only a small segment of the global population. The FISSION Suite attempts to address this issue by providing culturally and linguistically diverse user feedback in a maximally decentralized way.

In order to make FISSION Codes accessible to a diverse end user base, FISSION Translate contributors are working towards providing translations of FISSION Codes in different languages, phrasings, and in varying levels of technical detail.

Prerequisites

While a basic understanding of GitHub is required to contribute to this project, you do not need to be a developer. A beginner's guide to Github and contributing to open source projects can be found here.

Submitting a Translation

1. Fork this repo and clone your forked version so you have a local copy on your computer.

2. Navigate to the project on your computer and open the ExampleLocalization.sol file in a text editor like Atom or Sublime Text. You can find this file in the root directory.

3. Save your version of this file in the localizations folder as <the language you are translating to>Localization.sol. For instance, if you are submitting a Spanish translation, the file name will be SpanishLocalization.sol.

4. Change the name of the contract to <the language you are translating to>Localization. For instance, if you are submitting a Spanish translation, the name of the contract will look like this:

contract SpanishLocalization is FissionLocalization {
  ...
}

3. Swap out the English text for your translated text.

4. Submit a pull request to the Fission Translate repo with your changes. If you need more information on how to do this, GitHub has some great documentation here.

5. Give yourself a high five and pat on the back because YOU ARE AWESOME.

We may have feedback or suggestions regarding your submission, so please keep an eye on your pull request.
