Tips for Translators

Here are a few things to keep in mind when translating.

​

Punctuation

Pay close attention to how phrases are punctuated.

Name:

If a sentence ends with a period (.) or a colon (:), you will want to include that in your translation.

❌ Nombre
✅ Nombre:

​

Variables

Variables are placeholders for content which can change. They look like this:

Hi {name}, welcome back!

{name} is a variable which will be replaced with the user’s name. Please make sure variables remain unchanged when translating.

❌ Salut {nom}, bienvenue!
✅ Salut {name}, bienvenue!

​

Tags

Tags can be used to create a hyperlink or change the appearance of some text (ex. bold, italics etc…). They look like this:

Go to <a>page</a>

The tags should remain wrapped around the same content and should not be translated. The contents between the tags should be translated (unless they are a variable).

❌ Gehen Sie zur Seite
❌ <a>Gehen Sie zur Seite</a>
❌ Gehen Sie zur <a>page</a>
✅ Gehen Sie zur <a>Seite</a>

​

Plurals

Plurals are like special rules that help make sure a message is written correctly when you’re using different values.

For example, the following message will display 1 option if count is 1 or 2 options if count is anything else.

{count, plural, one {# option} other {# options}}

Note that # is a placeholder for the value of count.

If your language requires more than one plural form, you can add additional rules.

{count, plural, one {# опция} few {# опции} other {# опций}}

Crowdin let's you preview your message to make sure it works

Register

For languages that have different registers (informal vs. formal), the general advise is to use an informal register. However, there may be exceptions for certain languages so if you are not sure please reach out.
