Weblate enables us to provide a continuous translation process, which means as new features are added or languages have not been localized, translations can follow closely behind. We also have defined access control mechanisms, so we have control over who has rights to push translations, and we can easily review contributions for accuracy. Currently Weblate supports over 150 languages out of the box and provides reports that allow us to quickly see the status of translations of the phone Web GUI and LCD

How to use Weblate to translate Phones

The steps for translating are simple. You can either work by either the LCD, Phone Web GUI or by language.

Selecting a Component

If you wish to work by component then you just need to navigate to  https://weblate.sangoma.com/projects/sangoma-phones . You are then presented with a list of components and their translation statuses like the picture below:

Open

From there you will select what part of the Phone you wish to work with.

• LCD Interface - This is the text inside the LCD screen as you navigate through the menu system.

• Web GUI - This is the Web GUI of the phone 

Selecting a language

Once you select a component you’ll have several translating options available to you. First off you’ll see the translation status for each language for this particular module.

Open

Translating

Once you click on a language from here you can go through adding and editing translations per sentence.

While you are translating the system will put your language in a locked state. This will prevent others from editing it for around 10 minutes.

Final Thoughts

When you are finished there is nothing further you have to do. Your translations will then show up in the near future on a new firmware release.
