Ruuvi Station Localization Project

This project was created to get single place for localization strings used in Ruuvi Station application for both platforms at once: iOS and Android. This should help to enforce unified user experience.

Supported languages

• English
• Finnish
• Sweden
• French
• Russian
• German

If you want to add new language and ready to help with translation send email to denis@ruuvi.com. We'll make preparations for new language.

Repository structure

File station.localization.json

Main file of repository containing all localized strings

Directory localize.converter.android

Tool we use to convert from station.localization.json to strings.xml files for Android project

Branches

master - main branch for confirmed translations

dev - working branch

Structure of station.localization.json

File consist of one root translations element with many childs. Each child is a translation of one specific string. If string is used in Android application ident_android will be filled. Same for iOS and ident_ios. These 2 fields are being filled by developers and should not be modified.

You can modify en - for English, fi - for Finnish, ru - for Russian, sv - for Sweden, fr - for French and de - for German.

{
    "translations": [
        {
            "ident_ios": "Menu.Label.AppSettings.text",
            "ident_android": "menu_app_settings",
            "en": "App Settings",
            "fi": "Asetukset",
            "ru": "Настройки",
            "sv": "App Inställningar",
            "fr": "Réglages",
            "de": "App Einstellungen"
        },
        ...
    ]
}

If original English string contain some strange chars like {%@^%1$s} or %1$s - don't worry just leave it as is. It's a template where application will insert value during runtime. But you can change the position of this template if grammar rules of your language demand it. Example:

{
  "ident_ios": "",
  "ident_android": "time_since",
  "en": "{%@^%1$s} ago",
  "fi": "{%@^%1$s} sitten",
  "ru": "{%@^%1$s} назад",
  "sv": "{%@^%1$s} sedan",
  "fr": "il y'a {%@^%1$s}",
  "de": "vor {%@^%1$s}"
}

Remark for developers about using value template

If specific string is used only in one platform you can leave your template as is: %@ or %1$s. But if it used by Android and iOS at the same time please use format {iOS_Pattern^Android_Pattern}.
