How to add translations

Getting ready

1. Clone this repository recursively.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

2. Make ls-debug folder under your vault's .obsidian folder (as like .../dev/.obsidian/ls-debug).

Add translations for already defined terms

1. Install dependencies, and build the plug-in as dev. build.

cd obsidian-livesync
npm i -D
npm run buildDev

2. Copy the main.js to .obsidian/plugins/obsidian-livesync folder of your vault, and run Obsidian-Self-hosted LiveSync.
3. You will get the missing-translation-yyyy-mm-dd.jsonl, please fill in new translations.
4. Build the plug-in again, and confirm that displayed things were expected.
5. Merge them into rosetta.ts, and make the PR to https://github.com/vrtmrz/livesync-commonlib.

Make messages to be translated

1. Find the message that you want to be translated.
2. Change the literal to use $tf, like below.

- Logger("Could not determine passphrase to save data.json! You probably make the configuration sure again!", LOG_LEVEL_URGENT);
+ Logger($tf('someKeyForPassphraseError'), LOG_LEVEL_URGENT);

3. Make the PR to https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync.
4. Follow the steps of "Add translations for already defined terms" to add the translations.
