• Adding a Crowdin config file to the repository
• Correcting any typo in the source code

Setting up blogpost/new files for translation

• Commit the blogpost as a new file in https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-translations
• Add the following sequence to the Crowdin config file
  • https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-translations/blob/main/crowdin.yml
• Wait 24h max for the replication to happen
• Manually copy paste the translation to Wordpress

Crowdin tasks

Creating screenshots of new software to provide context to translators

Answering the questions of translators

• Answering their messages
• Fixing issues raised in the source code (while keeping in mind any change will reset translations done in all languages, thus degrading experience)

GitHub tasks

• Checking the PR do not introduce bugs before merging them (eg: missing placeholders, very long translations…)
• Checking that old translations do not come back (that happens on synchronisation)
  • Delete translations that are in English, or that are out-dated (might be missing placeholders), delete Translation Memory entries that are problematic (eg with placeholders) or in English (some translators will use them without checking properly)
