To ask for a language to be added on Crowdin, feel free to open a discussion. We always accept these requests, but please note that inactive languages will often be removed if there's no contribution.
Words between brackets are variables that meant to be replaced by dynamic values.
For example the string:
Hello {collectiveName}!
Will render as Hello Webpack!
if the collective name is Webpack. You must never change the variable names.
select
is a special command that lets us render different texts conditionally. The base pattern is:
{myVariable, select, value1 {Rendered if myVariable=value1} other {Otherwise this}}
A classic example for that is the interval select:
{amount} {interval, select, month {monthly} year {yearly}}
Here interval
is the variable with month
and year
as possible values. If amount is equal to $5
and interval to year
, the template above will be rendered to:
$5 yearly
Here again, don't change the variable name or the select
keyword, only the replaced strings (monthly
and yearly
if we take the example above).
