Quick guide to translating MathJax

We are working on adding MathJax to TranslateWiki. In the meantime you can send pull request to MathJax-i18n which is now used as a reference point. For your information, old instructions are available below.

If you have any questions, contact us on the issue tracker or the mathjax developer list.

Here's a quick guide to help you translate MathJax directly here on github.

• Figure out the IETF language tag -- let's call this xx. (Note: it could also be a xx-yy style language tag.)
• Fork the MathJax i18n repository
• Copy /JSON/en/ to /JSON/xx
• Replace all ens with xxs in all files contained in this folder.
• In particular,
  • rename en.js to xx.js
  • watch out for en in the first and last lines of code in each file -- otherwise things won't load properly.
• In xx.js change the plural: function to match the plural rules of the language xx. See the CLDR Language Plural Rules.
• If necessary, you may also change the number: function to match the writing convention of numbers of the language xx. For example German and French use a comma instead of a dot.
• Translate the strings in all files.
• Test the translation.
• Create a pull request to our repository so that we can review your code.
• Get a big Thank you! You're awesome from the MathJax team!
