Show your support by translating Safe Eyes to a new language or by improving the existing translations.

Translating Safe Eyes

From version 1.1.0, Safe Eyes supports translation. Translation files for each langauges must be placed in /opt/safeeyes/config/lang directory. The language file name must follow ISO 639-1 language code standard. For example, the language file of English must be en.json. Follow these steps to translate Safe Eyes to your language.

  1. Copy /opt/safeeyes/config/lang/en.json to /opt/safeeyes/config/lang/<iso-639-1-language-code>.json

  2. Provide language_name in the language itself and language_name_en in English.

  3. Translate other property values to the selected language.

Note 1: The {} used in property values will be replaced by runtime variables related to those commands. For example the {} in Next break at {} will be replaced by time at the runtime.

Note 2: Use Unicode when translating Safe Eyes.

Note 3: To change the language of Safe Eyes, change the language property in ~/.config/safeeyes/safeeyes.json to the ISO 639-1 code of your language and restart the Safe Eyes.
