Краудсорсинг — это привлечение сообщества волонтеров для общей цели — перевести продукт на несколько языков. Вы тоже можете стать волонтером и делать переводы на Crowdin, помогая компаниям локализовать свои продукты.
Если вы еще не зарегистрированы на Crowdin, вы можете создать аккаунт или войти через профиль социальной сети (Facebook, Google, Twitter), а также профиль GitHub или GitLab.
Click the profile photo in the top right corner to access Settings. There you’ll be able to modify your personal information, manage profile security and notifications. You can also define Preferred languages for translations.
There are several ways to find a project to contribute to:
As soon as you find and open the needed project the following tabs will be accessible.
You can check all the projects you joined at the Profile page.
Activity
The page where all the project activity is shown. For example, comments, newly joined users, translated, and proofread strings.
Reports
The page where you can see the project status and view the project’s top members.
Crowdsourcing projects don’t usually have financial rewards for translations. So you can use My Contribution report to check the overall amount of the strings you translated and proofread without setting the rates.
Check User Reports article for more details.
Discussions
The page with the project-related conversations. You can participate in already existing discussions or create a new topic if necessary.
Menu in the top left corner allows you to switch between files for translations, change translation language, contact manager, configure the view or quit editor.
All the translations are mainly done in Editor and it has four main sections as shown below.
Below you can check a quick overview of these sections. To know more about all the functions and options available in it, check the Online Editor article.
In the left section, you will see the list of strings for translation. Строки - это текстовые элементы, представляющие собой отдельные слова, выражения или предложения. Some of them might have replacement tokens ({0}, {1}, or %1) or elements of ICU message syntax. Для работы с такими строками следует скопировать исходную строку и перевести только реальные слова.
Middle-top section is the main working area with the source string on the top and translation section below. The Context to the string is shown right below the source string. You can request context from project managers from here if necessary. In the translation window, you may also see the maximum length of the translation limit in case it’s exceeded.
This section contains all the resources and previous translations you might use:
You can use this section to discuss the meaning of the source string or other related questions with your colleagues. You can mention the particular person you’d like to address or create an issue related to the string.
Click keyboard icon in the top right corner to check the list of available shortcuts. They will help to take actions in the Editor quickly.
All hotkeys can be customized. Click on the necessary key combination, and modify it with the help of your keyboard.
This mode allows you to vote up or down the translations of strings made by your colleagues.
Click the Menu icon in the top left corner then choose View > Voting. To vote click on the plus sign if you like the translation, minus – if the translation doesn’t seem correct. Translations that get the most positive votes will then appear on the top of all the translations available for the string.
