Hey guys,
I want to change the language in intervals.icu from english to german. How is this possible? Thank you for helping me.
Sporty regards, Chris
Not, I believe, as this is a (per) site setting - i.e. any translations will need to be created…
@Cyclopaat is correct. I have that on the todo list (for French already and now German) but its quite a big job. Basically I have to copy every English string from the app into mapping files for each language, auto translate them, publish the language files on GitHub so native speakers can fix errors. One day

@Christian_Janssen Sent me a pic via email. Looks like the browser on his phone is translating the app. I am going to find out if I can make the app more friendly towards that technology.
Yes, that would be another option - I have plugins to do that, but I’m usually laughing at the result, specifically when translating to Dutch. Best for any language to English, but maybe German gets a better translation than others.
If you need a Dutch translator…

Hey guys,
i have just tested something. with the current chrome browser it is possible to translate automatically. It looks as if it is a german version.
@david for further questions do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Chris

Hello everyone, with the Russian language, Google translator breaks the site, and it is not possible to use it in Russian
Thats annoying. It has replaced the icon names with Russian words. I will try fix that.

I think you do not need to auto translate for new languages, i will be more than happy to translate from english straigh away to my native language. Dont know if it helps or not
Unfortunately it’s actually quite a big job. I have to take every bit of text in Intervals.icu and split that out into a separate file. Then translate that. One day

I would be happy to help with a German translation/verification. Just drop me a line if you decide to go down this path. German users are usually used to having stuff in German:grinning:
, and it would open intervals to a large audience.

I’d like to bring that up again… I know it isn’t an enjoyable task, but I’d really like to see a translated version and I also want to offer my help with that (translating to German, collecting text strings?!)

Tx. The collecting strings bit I have to do. When/if I go down this route I will make the translations available so anyone can help improve them. I only have English and Afrikaans myself.
It’s a lot of work that would slow down other features. Bit of a trade-off because a lot of the world would like a non-English version.
There is also drag on future development because text has to be separated out.

If you want help translating into French, let me know (I am a native French speaker).
My wife is now connected to the platform and she prefers to use the site in French
Tx. I have been thinking about this again and might be able to support partial translations with less work. This would be the static text on buttons, labels and so on and not the more complex generated text.

Your preferred language is stored and enabled when you login. You can change it in /settings:
