Translate Funkwhale

Funkwhale depends on community translations to provide a localized experience to all users. All of our UX copy and documentation is written in American English. This isn’t accessible to all users.

If you are interested in helping us reach more users, we welcome contributions in all languages!

Language coordination

Each language team requires a lead who can verify translations. If your language isn’t available in our platform yet, reach out on the gitlab and we’ll set it up.

Weblate

Funkwhale uses Weblate as its translation platform. Weblate provides an easy-to-use web frontend for submitting localized strings.

To get started, sign up to our Weblate instance and follow the instructions to set up your language preferences. The following projects are available for translation:

  1. Funkwhale: The Funkwhale web app

  2. Funkwhale for Android: Our official Android app

  3. Funkwhale.audio: Our website

  4. Documentation: This documentation hub

Guidelines

We trust each language team to deliver translations that are tonally consistent with the source language. Where applicable, follow these guidelines:

  1. Use gender-neutral language

  2. Use informal speech patterns, including contractions

  3. Use sentence case for all content, including titles. For example: “Language coordination” rather than “Language Coordination”
