Welcome! You may wish to read GitHub's orientation, or learn the Markdown¹ syntax for rich text.
Prefer using the issue tracker for all communication. I may miss posts to the mailing list or cinnamon-spices website.
Translation files are in the po directory.
A pull request is best -- it's easier than you think. But I will take contributions in any form: email, carrier pigeon...
I can normally merge your changes and release a new version within three days.
I'm happy to provide new language templates. Ask and you shall receive.
To make one yourself, install the gettext package and run msginit, passing
- the correct locale code for your language
-l(ex:ko_KRis Korean) - the matching
.pooutput filename-o(ex:ko.po)
$ cd po/
$ msginit -l ko_KR -o ko.po -i [email protected]Simply open the new file and fill in values, then send it to me.
It's okay if you don't use them all. Every line helps.
Please mention your distro, Cinnamon version, and applet version.
Squash your changes into a single commit, if possible. I will probably make some adjustments and ask you for a code review.
I can't guarantee I will respond to these issues promptly, or ever. Feel free to @mention me in the issue comments if too much time has passed.
New code should have:
- no semicolons
- commas first
- 2-space indentation
- short (LoC) functions with a consistent level of abstraction
- well-formatted commit messages
