Guidelines for translators

  • Composite strings (like "The site in question is blocked due to {reason}") will sometimes have to be built differently if it is uncensored or censored.

You can learn the context of the string by looking at the "Context" tab and in particular the "Key" value (the nesting of the key tells you which value goes where)

  • Ensure that we always use gender neutral terminology when referring to the user ("they" vs "she/he")

  • Ensure the length of the strings is not too long otherwise it could break the GUI

  • Always use the "informal" form when referring to the user
