i18n Support and Contribution

If you would like to contribute to the game by adding support for additional languages, you can follow these steps: There are two files to change the language of the game. Firs one is a dictionary file paced in the dictionaries folder. Second file is a translation file for titles and messages on the game. This translation file is places in the i18n folder. Both of these file's names are language and country code's short form. For example, for English, it is en_US. For Turkish, it is tr_TR. For Spanish is es_ES. Both files are importing to the main index.js file dynamically. Last step is to add your language and codes to the language_list.js file which sits in the root folder.

Sample file structure:

export const languages = [ {localeCode: "tr_TR", name:"Türkçe"}, {localeCode: "en_US", name:"English"}, {localeCode: "de_DE", name:"Deutsch"}, {localeCode: "es_ES", name:"Español"}, ]

Dictionary File

This file includes an Array and export it as constant name dictionary . The only changing parts are the words inside the array. This array is standard javascript array. Comma separated double-quoted strings.

Sample structure:

export const dictionary = ["abacı", "abadi"]

Translation File

This file is a javascript object. It includes key-value pairs. Key is the name of the message or title. Value is the translation of the message or title. Please choose the English one (en_US.js) and translate as is to your language. When translating understand the charSet of the target language and similar letter shift options (if the target language has ones). Checkout langConvertMaps key. `

langConvertMaps: {
        n:"ñ",
        a:"á",
        e:"é",
        i:"í",
        o:"ó",
        u:"ú"
},

`

For example Spanish has "n" and "ñ" letters which looks similar. Shit option is for users whom use their own keywboards that doesn't support these language specific letters. Just watch out the order of the messages. It should be the same as the English one.

Sample general structure:

localeIdentifier: "en_US", // Locale code changed to "en" for English (US)
documentTitle: "English Wordle: Guess the English Word", // Document title translated
writtenName: "English Wordle", // Written name translated
charSet: [
    'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f',
    'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l',
    'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r',
    's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x',
    'y', 'z'
],`
