Thanks for the offers to help with translations. Wanted to share the plan.
I'm wiring up the translation infrastructure now: svelte-i18n with one JSON file per locale in the repo. The workflow once it's ready is straightforward. There'll be a single English source file at src/i18n/en.json, contributors copy it to their locale (fr.json, nl.json, de.json, etc.), translate the values, and open a pull request. Keys stay untouched, only values change.
Nothing to do right now. I'll open a GitHub tracking issue once the source file is stable enough to translate against. A short contributor guide will land with it covering workflow and conventions.
One thing worth flagging early: for nutrition labels specifically, please plan to use the regulatory terms that appear on food packaging in your country rather than the literal English equivalents. So Glucides / Lipides / Protéines for French, Koolhydraten / Vetten / Eiwitten for Dutch, Eiweiß rather than Protein for German, and so on.
More soon.
Quick update on this. Translation infrastructure is live as of v1.0.0-rc.6 (released today). The source file is
src/i18n/en.json— about 210 keys covering navigation, page titles, the full auth flow, the onboarding wizard, primary actions in Diary / Foods / Goals / Profile, the AI assistant FAB, and common toasts. Server-side strings (email subjects, push notification bodies) are out of scope for now.Full workflow is documented in
CONTRIBUTING.md → Translations.About 30% of the client-side surface is extracted in this batch — the screens every user touches every session. Wellness sync messages, deep Settings sub-section labels, and Statistics chart internals are the main gaps. If you hit a screen you use heavily that's still English while translating, open an issue listing the screen and I'll pull it forward in the next extraction batch.
Tag me on the PR when you're ready.
