# Turkish Translation Guide
|
||
|
||
The Turkish (Türkçe) language infrastructure has been added to SoftEther VPN.
|
||
|
||
## Current Status
|
||
|
||
- ✅ Language entry added to `languages.txt` (ID: 8, identifier: `tr`)
|
||
- ✅ String table file created: `strtable_tr.stb`
|
||
- ✅ File structure validated with stbchecker
|
||
- ⚠️ **Translation needed**: The file currently contains English text as placeholders
|
||
|
||
## How to Contribute
|
||
|
||
The Turkish string table (`src/bin/hamcore/strtable_tr.stb`) currently uses English text. We need native Turkish speakers to translate these strings.
|
||
|
||
### Main Translation File
|
||
|
||
- **File**: `src/bin/hamcore/strtable_tr.stb` (~7,400 lines)
|
||
- **Format**: Each line has a KEY and a translatable value
|
||
- **Task**: Translate only the values, keep the keys unchanged
|
||
- **Note**: You can contribute partial translations - every bit helps!
|
||
|
||
### Quick Start
|
||
|
||
1. Fork this repository
|
||
2. Open `src/bin/hamcore/strtable_tr.stb`
|
||
3. Translate the text values (keep the keys unchanged)
|
||
4. Run the validation tool:
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd developer_tools/stbchecker
|
||
dotnet run ../../src/bin/hamcore
|
||
```
|
||
5. Submit a Pull Request with your translations
|
||
|
||
### Translation Guidelines
|
||
|
||
**Important Rules:**
|
||
- Keep technical terms like "VPN", "SSL", "TCP/IP", "IPsec" in English
|
||
- Preserve formatting codes like `%s`, `%d`, `\r\n` - they are placeholders
|
||
- Maintain the same meaning and tone as the English version
|
||
- Use formal Turkish ("siz" form) for user-facing messages
|
||
- Be consistent with terminology throughout
|
||
|
||
**Example Translation:**
|
||
```
|
||
# Original English:
|
||
ERR_1 Connection to the server failed. Check network connection.
|
||
|
||
# Turkish translation:
|
||
ERR_1 Sunucuya bağlantı başarısız oldu. Ağ bağlantısını kontrol edin.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**File Format:**
|
||
- Lines starting with `#` are comments (don't translate)
|
||
- Each entry: `STRING_KEY<tabs>Translated text here`
|
||
- Only translate the text after the key, never change the key itself
|
||
|
||
### Already Translated
|
||
|
||
The following metadata has been localized:
|
||
- Language identifier: Turkish
|
||
- Language ID: 8
|
||
- Weekday abbreviations: Paz, Pzt, Sal, Çar, Per, Cum, Cmt
|
||
- "None" translated to "Hiçbiri"
|
||
|
||
## Validation
|
||
|
||
Before submitting your translation, validate it with the consistency checker:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd developer_tools/stbchecker
|
||
dotnet run ../../src/bin/hamcore
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This ensures all string keys are present and the file format is correct. The validation must pass before submitting.
|
||
|
||
