Internationalization
To contribute or change translations for Pinafore, look in the src/intl directory. Create a new file or edit an existing file based on its two-letter language code and optionally, a region. For instance, en-US.js is American English, and fr.js is French.
The default is en-US.js, and any strings not defined in a language file will fall back to the strings from that file.
There is also an intl/emoji-picker directory, which contains translations for emoji-picker-element
(which already comes with English built-in).
Note that internationalization is currently experimental. Client-side locale switching is not supported – when you build the instance of Pinafore, it is either one language or another. To build in a particular language, use (for example):
LOCALE=fr yarn build
or
LOCALE=fr yarn dev
There is also an experimental LOCALE_DIRECTION environment variable for the direction (LTR versus RTL) which is
exposed to the source code while building.
