# Translating the QMK Docs
|
|
|
|
All files in the root folder (`docs/`) should be in English - all other languages should be in subfolders with the ISO 639-1 language codes, followed by `-` and the country code where relevant. [A list of common ones can be found here](https://www.andiamo.co.uk/resources/iso-language-codes/). If this folder doesn't exist, you may create it. Each of the translated files should have the same name as the English version, so things can fall back successfully.
|
|
|
|
A `_summary.md` file should exist in this folder with a list of links to each file, with a translated name, and link preceded by the language folder:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
* [QMK简介](zh-cn/getting_started_introduction.md)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All links to other docs pages must also be prefixed with the language folder. If the link is to a specific part of the page (ie. a certain heading), you must use the English ID for the heading, like so:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
[建立你的环境](zh-cn/newbs-getting-started.md#set-up-your-environment)
|
|
|
|
## 建立你的环境 :id=set-up-your-environment
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you've finished translating a new language, you'll also need to modify the following files:
|
|
|
|
* [`docs/_langs.md`](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/_langs.md)
|
|
Each line should contain a country flag as a [GitHub emoji shortcode](https://github.com/ikatyang/emoji-cheat-sheet/blob/master/README.md#country-flag) followed by the name represented in its own language:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
- [:cn: 中文](/zh-cn/)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* [`docs/index.html`](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/index.html)
|
|
Both `placeholder` and `noData` objects should have a dictionary entry for the language folder in a string:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
'/zh-cn/': '没有结果!',
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `nameLink` object, for setting the "QMK Firmware" heading link in the sidebar, must also be added to:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
'/zh-cn/': '/#/zh-cn/',
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And make sure to add the language folder in the `fallbackLanguages` list, so it will properly fall back to English instead of 404ing:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
fallbackLanguages: [
|
|
// ...
|
|
'zh-cn',
|
|
// ...
|
|
],
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Previewing the Translations
|
|
|
|
See [Previewing the Documentation](contributing.md#previewing-the-documentation) for how to set up a local instance of the docs - you should be able to select your new language from the "Translations" menu at the top-right.
