Already logged in, but I don't seem to find the button for the request to join the translation project.

I've now accepted your request. The next time you log in again to our project page, it should work!

[jehd-eiah]

It's working now. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your help! I've prepared the Tagalog language in Crowdin. Please open the language page and request to join that language as a translator.

Thank you so much!

I've already done and saved some partial translations. What do I do next?

[mtdvlpr]

Alright. @sircharlo, what do you think? Can we enable Tagalog without the 50% requirement?

[sircharlo]

I'd prefer to allow full translations only like we're doing right now, if only for consistency and for users who may not speak English well. Would that be possible @jehd-eiah ?

[jehd-eiah]

I don't think that full translation is possible for this app since the translation for JW Library isn't 100% in Tagalog either. Some parts have remained in English as well. As of now, I'm seeing a target reach of around 80%-90% for translation.

If I understand you correctly, you mean that some English words don't exist in Tagalog and can therefore not be translated? For example, when I try to translate "Advanced" to Tagalog, I get "Advanced".

If that's the case, instead of leaving it empty, do fill in the translation field, but keep it the same as the English string, as long as you're confident that Tagalog speakers understand the English string. Then you can still reach 100%.

Yes, you're right! Many English words don't have exact translations in Tagalog so we just use them as it is.

Alright, I'll do as you say. Thank you for helping out, as these are still new to me. I appreciate it. 😎
