# Translating Cubecraft

CubeCraft is translated into a dozen languages by players, not by a translation agency. If you speak another language well, you can help.
Applications are open indefinitely and there is no limit on how many people can take part.

## 1. Apply to become a translator 🔠

Read the requirements and apply through our [Translator Applications thread](https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/translator-applications.295870/).
Once we have verified your information, your Weblate account is enabled and you can start translating into your language.

|| You need a Passport account before you apply on the forums. See [Passport: one account for everything].

## 2. Create your Weblate account 🖊️

Weblate is the platform we translate on. You do not register a separate password for it, you sign in with Passport.

1. Go to [translate.cubecraft.net](https://translate.cubecraft.net/), select **Sign in**, then select **Passport**.
2. Log in with your Passport account.
3. Select **Languages**, then **Manage Translated Languages**.
4. Choose your interface language, which defaults to English, then the languages you will contribute to. Save the changes at the bottom of the page.

| Your account now exists, but you still need it approved and your translator roles assigned before you can start. That happens on our side.

## 3. Start suggesting translations 🌍

Account approved and roles assigned? You can now contribute.

1. Go to [translate.cubecraft.net](https://translate.cubecraft.net/), select the **Languages** button, and choose the language you are translating.
2. Select **CubeCraft**.
3. Select **Translate**.
4. Choose a filter.

The page offers several filters. The three most useful:
* **Unfinished strings without suggestions:** strings with no translation suggestions yet.
* **Untranslated strings:** strings still at the suggestion stage, including ones other translators have already suggested for.
* **Translated strings:** approved translations not yet live on the server. Suggestions can still be added.

|| You can now translate, and vote on suggestions from other translators.

## 4. Change an approved translation ♻️

Spotted a translation on the server that should be reworded? You can suggest a change to it.

1. Go to [translate.cubecraft.net](https://translate.cubecraft.net/), select the **Languages** button, and choose your language.
2. Select **CubeCraft**.
3. Select **Browse**.
4. Type the string text into the filter field.
5. Select the string.
6. Type your suggestion and select **Suggest**.

|| Approved translations with suggested changes go into their own category, and a reviewer will look at them as soon as possible.
