DO NOT SUBMIT ANY REQUESTS OR TRANSLATIONS YET - WE ARE BUILDING OUT THIS SECTION OVER TIME AND IT IS CURRENTLY INCOMPLETE
THANK YOU.
We're finding that many people are contacting us wanting to contribute translations, but when faced with the process of using a service like Transifex, they are unable to understand the steps involved due to a lack of programming and code knowledge and ability.
We want to open this process up to as many people as possible, from all walks of life and from all backgrounds and abilities.
So, we decided to create this Template for people to make it easier to help Linux Lite to be more understandable to the community.
How do I ask for my Language to be included in Linux Lite?As of June 2023, we are translating the following items only:Desktop Icons - ie. This PC, User Files, Network, Control Panel, Help Manual
Right Click Menus
Linux Lite Application Menu entries - eg. Lite Software
My Computer Menu entries - Menu, My Computer and then the various folder names ie. File System, Home, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, Videos
Favorites Menu entries - Menu, Favorites - Install Updates, Help Manual
Home Folder Names - ie. Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, Videos
General Menu entries: These are mostly handled by the application developers themselves, but you are free to submit your changes anyway. If they don't make it into our translations, then it is a bet that it needs to be handled by the original developer.
Future Translations:All Linux Lite built and branded applications, eg. Lite Software, Lite Tweaks etc.
