# Add new translations

## Beginners

 - Download the `values.xml` file from
 [ffupdater/ffupdater/src/main/res/values/values.xml](https://notabug.org/Tobiwan/ffupdater/src/master/ffupdater/src/main/res/values/strings.xml)
 - Translate the English words and sentences
   - Don't translate the entries with `translatable="false"` like `<string name="empty" translatable="false"/>` or `<string name="github" translatable="false">GitHub</string>`
   - `%1$s` and `%1$d` are placeholder for real values.
   - For reference: the other translations are stored in
   `ffupdater/ffupdater/src/main/res/values-XX/values.xml`.
   XX is current bg (Bulgarian), de (German), fr (French),
   pt-rBR (Portuguese Brazilian), ru (Russian) or uk (Ukrainian).
 - Send me the translated `values.xml` as an issue on [notabug.org](https://notabug.org/Tobiwan/ffupdater/issues),
 [GitHub](https://github.com/Tobi823/ffupdater/issues) or [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/Tobiwan/ffupdater/-/issues)

## Advanced developers

Same as above but with forking + pull request / merge requests on [notabug.org](https://notabug.org/Tobiwan/ffupdater/pulls),
[GitHub](https://github.com/Tobi823/ffupdater/pulls) or [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/Tobiwan/ffupdater/-/merge_requests)

## Regular check

I'm only a German native speaker with DeepL and Google Translate - expect to check every six months for bad translations.
