Internationalization (i18n)
If you are interested in helping translate the bitwarden browser extension into another language, please follow these steps when creating your pull request:
- Create a new folder under
/src/_locales
using the proper Chrome locale code. You can find the locales that Chrome supports here: https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/i18n?csw=1#localeTable. For example, if I want to create a new translation for German, I will create the folder/src/_locales/de
. - Copy/paste the English
messages.json
file (/src/_locales/en/messages.json
) into your newly created locales folder. - Open the
messages.json
for your newly created locale and start translating themessage
JSON properties. Thedescription
properties should be left in English as a reference. - Repeat the same process for the store
COPY.md
andCAPTIONS.md
files in/store
. Do not copy over theassets
andscreenshots
folders to your new locale. We will update these based on your translations provided inCAPTIONS.md
. Finally, do not translate the titles in the markdown files (ex.# Name
and# Screenshot - Sync
). These are only for reference. - Test your translations to make sure they look correct in the extension. Sometimes the UI can break due to translations taking up more space than the original UI was built for. If possible, use a shorter or abbreviated version of the word/sentence to accomedate the available space.
- Be sure to watch for future changes
to the
/src/_locales/en/messages.json
file so that your translation will stay up to date.
