The Aleph UI is a powerful tool, but what if it’s not available in your language or the translations are inaccurate?

Language barriers can limit access to this valuable data platform within your community.

This guide walks you through how to contribute to Aleph by translating its UI, helping to make it more accessible to users worldwide.

Manage translations using Transifex

We use Transifex to manage translations for Aleph. All translations are created in the Transifex web app.

  1. Create a Transifex account.

  2. Apply to join the Aleph organization on Transifex.

  3. Most of the user interface messages are translated in the aleph-ui project on Transifex. However, the aleph-api and followthemoney projects do also contain messages that need to be translated.

    a. If you want to add support for a new language, add the language to each of these projects in 
Transifex.

  4. In each of the Transifex projects, select the respective language and add translations for all messages.

Thanks for helping make Aleph UI accessible to users all around the world! Your contributions truly make a difference.
