French translation

[N0wan]

Hey there !

Would you be interested by a translation in French language ?

[N0wan]

I can easily translate all the strings.
But would you provide a multi-language app (needing the code to be adapted) ?
The other solution being to provide one app per language (less good).

[atorch]

That would be wonderful! I need to read up on how to make a single app with multiple languages, but that sounds by far like the better option (relative to multiple single-language apps).

[N0wan]

Yes indeed.
So, when you'll modify the source code, or add new features, you'll only have to do it once.
Actually that will be my first contribution to a multi-language app... sounds interesting !
Btw, I'm a fan of your app !

See #7, where I am adding the German translation. The main part is really only adding a file values-de/strings.xml containing the translated strings.

Some of the images need to be translated as well as they contain text. I left that for later, but I still have the list for translating the images in my e-mail archive.

[N0wan]

For sure, I can do that.
But just to be sure, why can't I find your folder values-de in any branch ?

[rillig]

The German translation is in my fork over at https://github.com/rillig/probability_puzzles, in the master branch.
Before starting to translate, you might ask @atorch whether he still wants to release a new version of the app including the translations, just to make sure you don't waste time doing the translation for nothing.

[N0wan]

Thanks, I'll do so

[N0wan]

Actually, I don't know how to contact him... ?

[atorch]

Hey, I'm here! I see #7, I'll give it a try on my phone when I have some free time

[atorch]

@N0wan you should now see https://github.com/atorch/probability_puzzles/blob/master/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml and https://github.com/atorch/probability_puzzles/blob/master/app/src/main/res/values-de/strings.xml when you pull down the latest master

Hello, I could do Greek and Spanish translations.

[atorch]

@esodigoyo that would be great, thank you for offering! Have a look at #20 (comment) and https://github.com/atorch/probability_puzzles/blob/master/app/src/main/res/values-de/strings.xml and https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/localization#creating-alternatives to see how translations work. Let me know if you need additional tips! This issue is about a French translation specifically, so let's open a separate issue for Greek and Spanish in the event that you have any questions specific to creating a values.xml file for those languages.
