Localization for javascript code

MichaIng edited this page Dec 16, 2025 · 2 revisions

To localize a text in a js file (like static/js/main.js) :

  • pass your text as an argument to function i18n.gettext() (for examples, see in static/js/main.js), actually your text must be in Esperanto. Use DeepL to translate from English to Esperanto if you don't know Esperanto.
  • run make in motioneye directory
  • edit the .js.po files for languages you are able to translate, they are named locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/motioneye.js.po. You can edit them with a text editor, or with dedicated software like Poedit or Virtaal.
  • rerun make to take your translation changes into account
