It is almost 1000 strings, but most of them are simple.


The strings is handled on bitbucket and you can help.  
In the the game, open the About-dialog. Scroll down a bit and click the button "Open translation page". A browser will open the translation tool web page.


https://bitbucket.org/erik_melkersson/color-planet/src
Sign in using the same account as in the app and start to translate or correct spelling etc. If you help out a lot you will get in-game-medals for helping out with translations too.


=== A The git and bitbucket way ===
NOTE:
If you know how git and/or bitbucket works.
There are %nn stuff in the strings. They are placeholders where the code insert strings and numbers. Don't change them, but if needed you can change their order if word order is different in your language.
 
The easiest for me is if you clone the repo, add translations and make a pull request to my repo.
 
The new translation file shall be in a directory using the 2 letter abbreviation of the '''language'''. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes for list of ISO 639-1 codes of your language. For example <code>values-sv/strings.xml</code> for a Swedish version.
 
=== B Simple for you way ===
The English version can be seen if you click on "values" and then "strings.xml"
 
If you click on the RAW button on the English version you get a file you can Save as... and name it something like strings_yourlanguage.xml
 
Edit the file and send it to me.
 
=== How to edit ===
 
The files uses UTF8 encoding of characters.
 
When you edit it in something you select utf8 (If there is options for "byte order mark" it does not matter)
 
The %nn stuff the placeholders where the code insert strings and numbers. Don't change them, but if needed you can change their order if word order is different in your language.
